About Humanizing Insurance Meeting the people behind the policies. Humanizing Insurance is brought to you by Daniel Grimwood-Bird. It’s a passion project, driven by the evergreen phrase: “Insurance is a people industry.” Through each conversation, we explore the stories, experiences, and ideas that make our world of insurance more human - from the pioneers and innovators shaping its future to the quiet leaders who hold its traditions together. This podcast exists to remind us that behind every policy, premium, and claim is a person - someone making decisions, taking risks, and protecting what matters most. If these stories resonate with you, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a colleague or friend who still believes in the people side of this business. You can also connect with Daniel on LinkedIn to continue the conversation, recommend our nex
