On this edition of Declaration of Independence on the Agency Nation Radio podcast, Dean Giem, president of Paradox Insurance Agency in Montana talks about technology. The self-proclaimed technology geek shares his journey from a captive agency to independent agency ownership. Now, as a member of the NetVu board and the AUGIE executive council, he explains technology is accessible and affordable for small and mid-size agencies. From chatbots to AI, he explores the future of insurtech. “I think the way data is collected, the way data is consumed and shared, is going to be a major shift in the next two to three years,” says Dean.
