Hello and welcome to the Leadership in Insurance Podcast - Today I am lucky enough to be joined by Mike Minnett
https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeminett/
Mike is founder and CEO of Portabl an Insurance solution for the gig economy workforce.
Mike is a serial entrepreneur and great fun. We met "stalking each other" on Linkedin (Mikes words not mine). This is a far-reaching chat and in it we cover:
- What is an ideas guy?
- Impact of Covid19 on the gig economy
- How the gig economy is much more than Uber and Deliveroo drivers
- Elevator pitches
- How the workforce dynamic has changed
- What you don't know about starting a business.....until you do
- The experience of growing and selling a start-up in the health and benefits space
- The challenges of fitting a small, nimble startup into large corporate business
- How Mike could have been YouTube before YouTube and it still hurts that he isn't!
- Are we in a bubble behind ideas at the moment in Insurance?
- Who is right for a start-up? The people that take you the first 3 years are they the right people for the next 3 years?
- Building a team in a start-up
- The importance of start-up incubators for networking
- The importance of storytelling in recruitment
- Teams by design
- Direct value versus indirect value in networking
- Does Networking have a negative connotation?
And much more in between.
This I a really interesting chat with an engaging founder with a great business concept.
