Get ready for a deep dive into Eddie’s understanding of how insurance is written, how risk is assessed, and the opportunities in the insurance market. We discuss living in the pandemic world today, how the Lloyd’s market is facing the same insurance battles as the U.S., the link between David Beckham and Marilyn Monroe, and much more!
