What an absolute blast this episode was to record!
I often interview irrepressible, energetic and ultra-enthusiastic executives on the podcast – it goes with the territory after all.
Indeed I have had both of today’s guests on the show before, but there is something about bringing them together that caused sparks to fly and brought a different dynamic into play.
David Howden of Howden Group and Rod Fox of TigerRisk Partners are both founders of their respective businesses and are two of the most successful broking entrepreneurs of their generation.
The two are combining their firms in an M&A deal that is creating a highly credible challenger reinsurance broker to the big three.
This podcast is almost like a metaphor for what they are trying to achieve together.
One and one seem to add up to quite more than two and both were already larger than life before we started!
No questions were off the table. It’s all here.
There’s nothing left out.
