Ep 300: We did it. Our 300th Episode!

Episode 300 is a milestone we never imagined when we hit record for the first time in 2018 at 470 Claims, which was acquired by Alacrity Solutions. Seven years later, Rob and Lee sit down to reflect on how FNO: InsureTech began, how it evolved, and what has surprised us most along the way.

In this special episode, we talk through the genesis of the podcast and how a simple idea turned into hundreds of conversations across insurance and insuretech. We reflect on the consistency, curiosity, and commitment it took to keep showing up week after week, and how the journey shaped us as hosts.
