Ian White and I have known each other for nearly 20 years, and intertwined through several parallel entrepreneurial adventures. I was excited to finally record one of our conversations and let him talk about Koffie Financial, the company he co-founded a few years ago, that is disrupting the $100B+ commercial truck insurance market.
We also talked about some of his prior entrepreneurial endeavors, our shared love of data and its value in the world, and one of my favorite stories about how he used Craigslist to recruit for his business and ended up on an FBI list. He has great stories and perspectives, and is the type of entrepreneur I love - obsessive about learning and figuring out how and why things are the way they are, and could be better.
We always laugh and explore when we're together and he always manages to enlighten me on a new topic or 2. There were many in this episode!
