Show Notes

In this special episode of The Underwriting Intelligence Podcast, Amrit sits down with Mark Geoghegan, founder of The Voice of Insurance podcast, to explore the intersection of journalism, insurance, and how the industry really works beneath the surface.

Drawing on his unique journey from Spanish-speaking broker to leading insurance journalist, Mark shares how he “accidentally” found his way into the industry before ultimately building one of its most trusted media voices. At the heart of the conversation is perspective; how stepping away from the day-to-day grind of underwriting and broking reveals the bigger picture of how the market functions, evolves, and occasionally breaks.

In this episode, Amrit and Mark dive into: How Mark transitioned from insurance into journalism and why he ultimately came back to cover the industry The difference between working in the market versus observing it from above What makes great insurance journalism, and why trust and human relationships still sit at its core Why podcasts and new media formats are reshaping how insight and intelligence are shared across the market

Whether you’re an underwriter, broker, insurance executive, or simply curious about the forces shaping the industry, this episode offers a candid, wide-angle view of insurance through the eyes of someone who has spent decades asking the questions others don’t.
