INTERVIEW

JBKnowledge podcast network. On episode 38 of the InsurTech Geek podcast, talking about movement intelligence with Nan-Wei Gong from FIGUR8.

JAMES: I cannot believe I am saying this. As we record this today, it is Friday, October 23rd. We are within two months of the nuttiest year of my 41 years on this planet being over. That is right. 2020 is only two months from being over and I think I am not the only person who is moderately excited about that. Do you know what I mean? Oh yes. The studio audience is really excited too. They are like, yes, we are ready for 2020 to be absolutely and completely over. I do not know. Rob Galbraith, the most interesting man in insurance. What is going on, dude?

ROB: Not a whole lot. Definitely counting down the end to 2020. I do not know if I told you and the listeners before, but my wife convinced me this year to put up a political sign with the election coming up. So, we do not have the presidential candidates or the senatorial candidates here in Texas. It actually says: "Giant Meteor 2020 Just End It Already".

JAMES: Because the giant meteor would win. It is going to come. It is going to win. Literally. It would be a landslide. You set me up good for that one. I am a sucker for dad jokes, Rob. You seem to be a source for dad jokes, and I will accept that.

ROB: Yes, unfortunately. Guilty as charged.

JAMES: I do a couple of podcasts. I had another guest from Boston today. On the wicked awesome Friday of podcasting, I have got with us, another Bostonian, another wicked smart person. Just to give you an idea of how smart, Masters in Ph.D. from MIT Media Lab. If you do not know about Media Lab, then get informed quickly because it produces some absolutely amazing products and people and ideas. Nan-Wei, so nice to have you on the show.
