INTERVIEW
JAMES: Back with another episode of the InsurTech Geek podcast. We have got another international episode. A very interesting international man of mystery. Is he French? Is he from Luxembourg, is he Israeli? We do not know. We are going to find out. He is joining us from Israel. Mr. Simon Schwall. Simon, how are you doing?
SIMON: I am very well, thank you. Thank you for having me.
JAMES: Yeah. Glad to have you on the show. And with us, my fellow Texa-Gander, Rob Galbraith. The most interesting man in insurance. Rob, what is going on, brother?
ROB: Hey, welcome back to the heat of Texas my friend.
JAMES: It is back. It is hot and muggy. My girls went outside this morning. They stepped outside for five minutes to go jump on the trampoline. Came back in. And I was like, man, that was quick. Like, man, it is already hot and muggy, seven o'clock in the morning. I am like, yeah, it is not Michigan anymore. It is terrible. It is truly terrible temperatures. But we love the great state of Texas, even despite this little three-month period that we call Hades. It gets better pretty fast in the fall, and then it stays good through the winter. So that is why we are here, that and the low taxes and the great Tex-Mex. Good to have you, Rob on the show. Oh, and Simon, we are going to get back to you in just a second.

Back to Mr. Simon Schwalbe from Oko Crop Assurance. Simon, we love talking about insurance, we love talking about technology more than that. We love talking about the people behind it. Now, you have an interesting educational background and you are kind of half French, half Luxembourgian. What do you call someone from Luxembourg?
SIMON: A Luxemburger.
