Another Bald Broker

Kate is our first guest who has flipped between the light and the dark side of the force... I mean the insurance industry. Before joining AHI, Kate sat within an insurer administration team before finding love at an insurance brokerage. That's no metaphor, Kate legitimately met her future husband at AB Phillips and then defected to the dark side of insurance. So buckle up as we unpack Kate’s unconventional career path, industry insights and how one job interview changed far more than just her CV.

No full episode today due to the Easter break however, episode 3 with Kate Quinlan from AHI, is in the can and will be released on the 10th of February 2026 at 9am.

Starting as the quiet receptionist at Advantage Jonstan Insurance in Frankston before moving up the ranks to manage clients then an office then a branch and now broking operations at Austbrokers Countrywide. Don't let her nervous nature in this episode fool you, Em is no shrinking violet. Emma Latcham is the life of the party with a heart of gold."Happy Alley" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"RetroFuture Clean" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

From working for an insurer in NZ, moving across Australia with a multi-Nat to finally settling down in Melbourne with his Nat. This is the insurance story (so far) about my great mate and great broker, Jonathan "Jono" Allen.
