If you are in sales, insurance, business, or any client-facing role, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you present value and engage with others.

Throwback to My Very First Episode of Risk Intelligence.

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:00:00 -0400

Throwback to my very first episode of Risk Intelligence.

In this episode, I share how everything started. What began as daily reflection during my 40-minute commute turned into a desire to make insurance easier to understand for those outside the industry.

Before the podcast, there was “Monday Momentum,” where I created short, one-minute videos to share simple insurance insights. The feedback and unexpected recognition I received showed me that people truly want clarity when it comes to insurance.

That realization led me to create Risk Intelligence. A space where I can share experiences, answer common questions, and talk about real-life scenarios in the insurance world.

This episode is a look back at the beginning, the purpose, and the journey.

If you want to understand insurance in a simpler way, this is where it all started.

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Risk Intelligence, host Karen Adamsbaum explains what really happens behind the scenes when someone requests an insurance quote.

While many expect quick results, quoting often requires gathering key business details and going through underwriting, especially for more complex operations. Karen also shares why early quote requests before renewals don’t always move faster and how the typical 60–90 day underwriting window works.
