About M&M Insurance Podcast - Australian Insurance industry topics & issues affecting Brokers
Calling all Insurance Brokers! Are you over Webinars? Over formal presentations? We certainly are! So we've decided to do something about it. We've started our very own podcast so we can dive deep into insurance industry topics and issues, affecting us all.
Speakers:
Mick O'Bree - General Manger of Operations, Ausure

Hi all, in this episode we are fortunate to have the A Team from Emergence, Hayley Morice and Chris White.
When the podcast talks about kinetic warfare, you know you're in for a good ride! We were lucky enough to hear Chris' journey from the navy through to insurance, and the similarities definitely got our attention.
Another interesting part was a deep dive into how Cyber claims can run very similar to catastrophe claims, where "make-safe" repairs are completed with urgency, and a team of experts come in immediately after to work through the damage.
There is a lot to take away with this podcast, especially around a product that is severely under utilised in Australia, but is a clear and present danger for us all.
I hope you enjoy this one.

Millsy & Mick Podcast #57 – Daniel Orrell - Steadfast Life
Hi all, we have a different type of podcast for Ausure today, as we welcome back Daniel Orrell, the Chief Distribution Officer for the evergrowing Steadfast Life. We are also very excited to announce Steadfast Life as a Training & Promotion Partner with Ausure, which will serve to help our brokers continue their ongoing training and advice to our clients. Thank you Daniel and Steadfast Life for your support to the Ausure network.
In this episode, we deep dive into the significant success Steadfast Life has had with creating referral relationships across the Ausure network. These relationships have driven amazing results for our clients and our branches, and in fact Daniel gives us a couple of examples where Steadfast Life provided incredible savings and advice to our clients who needed it.
We deep dive into the 3 key models of Steadfast Life, all of which are aimed to provide essential advice to our clients and our branches.
I especially enjoyed the Key Person discussion, and the support it provides business owners. We also had a bit of trivia...which in a race of only 2 people, Millsy and I didn't even place...
I hope you enjoy this one.

Hi all, welcome to one our regular Housekeeping podcasts, this time with Craig Barnden (Head of Compliance) and Darren Free (Head of Claims Operations & Broker Services).
For those who don't know Craig, he has been Ausure's long standing Compliance guru for at least 2 decades. Craig may say it feels significantly longer...And for Darren, he started as a broker a long time ago and decided to join the dark side of running Claims.
He's done so well, he has a team of over 10 that helps manage claims for many offices in Ausure.On top of their main roles, Craig and Darren also help run major projects for Ausure, which sparked the idea of getting them together to provide hints and tips for our brokers.Spoiler alert, there is gold in this episode.
We deep dive into key patterns they find across Compliance and Claims, along with their insight and recommendations to help brokers.We will definitely do more of these, as it's a quick summary of relevant issues from the viewpoint of 2 key departments within Ausure.
We hope you enjoy this one.
