*Insurance is back on the menu!*

The past few years have been tough as *insurance carriers* were tight on bringing new customers on while raising rates on old ones. But that is changing... [Polly](https://www.polly.co/) is here to tell us **why insurance was a tough business and how the books are opening again**. We are excited to host **Michelle Walker **and **Mike Burgiss **because this dynamic duo can dive deep into a side of the industry most dealers aren't always keeping an eye on.

Conversation highlights:

- **Soaring repair costs**
- **More tech, more problems**
- **An uptick in uninsured motorists**
- **Policyholders who hired more**
- **Frequent extreme weather events**

And we're very excited the page has finally turned on car insurance policies.
