Episode 23 - Allan Egbert, Co-Founder of ask Kodiak
Allan Egbert https://www.linkedin.com/in/aegbertjr/ is the co-founder of Ask Kodiak https://askkodiak.com/#/home
Show Notes:
Ask Kodiak is trying to solve a big communications problems between the insurance markets and distributors such as brokers and agents. The insurance markets believe that they communicate well, to their agents & brokers, what type of exposures they wish to cover...brokers and agents feel as though they DON'T know what their carriers actually want. What results is a lot of wasted time and energy trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Ask Kodiak is solving this problem.
Ask Kodiak is solving this problem.

Profiles in Risk - Episode 22: Contractors in Corporate Culture with Allied Restoration
In Episode 22, Carly and Nick speak with OP Alamaraz and Tim Bauer of Allied Restoration. What was expected to be a conversation entirely about claims contracting and restoration turned into a nearly hour long discussion about the importance of corporate culture. Both OP and Tim have an incredible story to tell and their passion for both their work and self-improvement will be obvious to anyone who listens.
OP turned tragedy into an infectious mission to do good in the world...
and Tim shed nearly 250 pounds
The inspiration and motivation they provide to Allied and others is a lesson for any corporate leader in any industry.
Enjoy
