Episode description

In this week's episode we hear from Alex Bond, FinPro founder and the Leadership in Insurance Podcast host himself. 

We wanted to do something slightly different with this podcast and it reflects some of the wider initiatives we are developing with FinPro. FinPro is a recruitment business specialising in the Insurtech sector and have been fortunate to work with some of the most exciting and innovative people operating within the sector. We have had fantastic guests who have shared their journeys and their experiences all with the objective of moving the Insurtech industry forward. Something we have done less is get to know the people behind the stories. Businesses are an net result of the talent and efforts of the people employed within them. This is a statement of the obvious but when we operate within the tech sector it can be easy to forget that despite how tech focussed you might be it is the people that drive the business and its innovation. We wanted to get to know more about the challenges that are not directly the work – particularly we wanted to know the challenges founders face when trying to drive fledgling businesses to success.

We didn’t feel we could ask our guests to share their fears, hopes and aspirations if we do not share some of our own biggest challenges so we have taken a different path with the podcast today and we have our host Alex discuss his challenges with mental health, his experiences with managing his mental health and what he thinks we can do to accommodate and help people manage their mental health in the world of start-ups.

We hope by doing this we will be able to have more honest and transparent conversations that touch on the founders challenges on a personal level – hopefully if we make the first move we can encourage more conversations about mental health.

We hope you enjoy it.
