In Episode 39 of The Enlightened Agent, Jason Keck sits down with Natasha Kiemnec for a candid, no-filter conversation about artificial intelligence, risk, and how the role of insurance professionals is evolving.

Natasha shares the story behind Lion Specialty and how she and her team built a modern brokerage focused on high-touch service, data, and thought leadership. As AI reshapes the industry, the goal is not just adoption, but rethinking how work gets done across underwriting, claims, and client service.

They explore the less-discussed side of AI, including emerging risks, regulatory considerations, and how carriers and brokers are beginning to adapt. From hallucinations and errors & omissions exposure to real-world underwriting use cases, the conversation highlights why a human-in-the-loop remains critical.

In this episode, they discuss:

• How AI is changing risk profiles across underwriting and claims
• Where AI introduces new exposures, including hallucinations and E&O risk
• Why redesigning workflows matters more than simply adopting AI
• How leading firms are using AI to compress weeks of work into hours

If you are an agent, broker, or insurance leader trying to understand not just the opportunity but the risk of AI, this episode offers a practical look at what’s changing and what to watch next.

Jason Keck sits down with Reghan Brandt for a candid, no-filter conversation about loss runs, operational complexity, and what it really takes to build in insurance today.

Reghan shares the story behind Loss Run Pro and how she turned one of the most painful, manual processes in commercial insurance into a scalable, automated workflow used by thousands of agencies. From fax machines and follow-ups to APIs and automation, the goal is simple: eliminate friction and get agents the data they need, faster.

They explore how AI is actually being applied across the industry, where it’s overhyped, and where it’s driving real impact. The conversation also dives into how modern agencies are thinking about build vs. buy, integrations, and creating more connected technology ecosystems.

Together, they discuss:

• Why loss runs remain one of the most complex and critical workflows in insurance
• How automation and APIs are reshaping agency operations
• Where AI adds real value vs. where it’s just noise
• The shift toward more connected, flexible tech stacks

If you are an agent, broker, or insurance leader looking to streamline operations and better understand how modern tools are changing the industry, this episode offers a practical look at what’s working and what’s next.

In the Series 4 kickoff of The Enlightened Agent, Jason Keck sits down with Ryan Hanley for a direct, no-filter conversation about artificial intelligence and what it means for insurance agencies right now.

Jason shares the vision behind Broker Buddha AI, a new enterprise-grade platform designed to unify CRM, task management, e-sign, service workflows, rating, loss runs, and more into a single AI-powered system integrated with major AMS platforms. After nine months of rapid development, the goal is simple: fewer systems, more flexibility, and faster innovation.

Ryan challenges the comfortable narrative around AI, arguing that transactional work will be automated and agencies must refocus humans on what they do best: building relationships, solving complex problems, and selling.

Together, they discuss:

• Whether AI replaces jobs or reshapes them
• Why agencies still need a secure core system of record
• The shift from bloated software bundles to modular tools
• How AI-driven development enables real-time product iteration

If you are an agent, broker, or insurance leader trying to understand what is hype and what is real, this episode offers a candid look at where the industry is headed and how to prepare.
