Expect all new shows to start in early 2025 with frequent posts. We'll also be adding InspectaCast to Medium and YouTube soon. Be sure to check out the older posts because they all have information relevant to risk intelligence today.</p><p><br></p><p><b>InspectaCast: Insider Insights You Can't Get Anywhere Else</b>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>At InspectaCast, we aim to provide the insider details that formal classes can't offer. You need insights from someone who's been in the business, and Tom is the ultimate insider. With years of experience running his own business and contracting with companies to provide risk control services, he's got the knowledge you need.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>"I want to help others achieve what I did—make a living while having the freedom to set my own schedule and provide the services I want. There's no playbook or easy-to-understand business plan for success in this hidden area of the insurance business. The companies you contract with can't provide training, and there are few formal programs to certify you for this work." - Tom&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Tom LeGros has over 20 years of experience in the insurance industry. As a risk control consultant and independent adjuster, he's visited thousands of companies, from small single-owner businesses to multinational corporations.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Ten years ago, Tom joined a group of like-minded entrepreneurs to launch Preferred Reports. In just ten years, Preferred Reports has grown from five employees to over 100, becoming the largest insurance risk intelligence provider to the insurance industry in the country. They offer both physical and virtual inspections on commercial and residential risks across all lines of coverage, in all 50 states.</p><p><br></p><p>Tom holds a BS in History and an MS in Management from Excelsior College in Albany, NY.
