This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand's book The Virtue of Selfishness, in particular the chapter "The Ethics of Emergencies"

This focuses specifically on her discussion about what an emergency is, why bad ethics results from taking emergency cases as normative, and when one ought to be willing to risk one's own life or values for during an emergency

At last month’s Insurance Leadership Forum, Leader’s Edge podcast host Zach Ewell sat down with Jochen Körner, CEO of Ecclesia Group, and Warren Downey, Group Chief Executive Officer of Specialist Risk Group, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation.

The two leaders unpack how a major deal between their firms came together, offer sharp insights on the surge of brokers entering the continental European market, and reflect on how recent elections are reshaping their strategic priorities.

In this episode of the Leader's Edge podcast, recorded live at The Council’s 2025 Insurance Leadership Forum, Dan Fortin, president of specialty insurance at QBE North America, dives into the intricacies of relationships in the specialty business.

He describes how key relationships early in his underwriting career helped him to grow and understand the industry in new ways. He also discusses the challenges of building post-pandemic relationships, the importance of the broker-carrier relationship, and the importance of relationships in the complex specialty business.

Master Price Movement; Proven Techniques for Successful Options Trading

A remake of a song I made in 2019, about taking a risk, feeling on edge, making a move.

The Edge

During the 2025 Insurance Leadership Forum, Paul Kottler, president of U.S. Loss Adjusting for Crawford, discusses how claims adjusting has changed in recent years given the changing weather environment, and whether policyholder needs have changed as well.

He also explains how advanced technology is being used in claims handling and what success looks like in this environment. 

Claims Change, Empathy Remains

Have a great day! ❤️😊

LYRICS BELOW 👇:

(Verse 1 )

Lights low, your shadow writes my name in the dark,

Fingers on the fence of us, testing the spark.

We trade secrets like currency, quiet and blunt,

Lips on the edge of trust, every touch a hunt.

You rap your truths fast, I answer slow with a sigh,

We’re two satellites orbiting, too close to collide.


(Pre-Chorus )

Breath on my neck, the world blurs at the seam,

Say forever like it’s currency — is it real or a dream?

Heart on repeat, a metronome I can’t refuse,

Close enough to burn, not so close I lose.


(Chorus )

Pulse — fast, pulse — slow, keep me in between,

Say my name like a prayer, then forget what it means.

We move like verses — quick then we stall,

Sex, love, silence — we risk it all.


(Verse 2 )

Rap the confessions, clipped lines and broken grace,

Your words drum on my ribs, I memorize the pace.

Heat in the hallway, cold on the other side,

We ride the contradiction, swallow pride for the ride.


(Bridge )

Hold me like a secret you don’t plan to keep,

Soft in the awake and hard in the deep.

Maybe we’re a moment, maybe we’re a crime,

Either way — stay until the pulse runs out of time.


(Outro )

Pulse — echo in the drywall, pulse — under skin,

We’re indefinite and urgent, whatever that means within.

PULSE

Piers is joined by mathematician and university lecturer Dr Ian Storey to discuss how lessons from business school on understanding risk can provide useful life lessons. Ian explains how fear of losing prevents many people from making a good bet and how success depends on a degree of risk. But risk is everywhere - from investing in equities to fixed income from bank deposits.
