Ep. 100: Roundtable Discussion with America’s Leader in Licensing, Surplus Lines and Regulatory Compliance - ILSA

Our podcast has grown so much more than a program about insurance regulators, attorneys, and companies. We’ve landed some of the most amazing individuals in and outside the country that even we couldn’t believe how far we’ve come. And to celebrate the success of our podcast, we’ve decided to have some of ILSA’s core management team as our guests for episode 100!

In this episode, we discuss how the industry has changed over the years and what we can all look forward to - not just ILSA, but the insurance industry as a whole. The team shares their previous careers before joining ILSA, what it was like at first, and the lessons they learned from the company. They explain the technical side of licensing and regulations and some of the consequences for non-compliance. They share great tips for newcomers as well as describe why ILSA is such a unique company to work for.

“Never settle for the initial training you receive. Always have a mindset of being an asset to the company.”  - Kristy Roberts
