In this episode of Industry News, Jeff sits down with Greg Crawford, editor at FT Specialist and a seasoned journalist with over 35 years in the media industry. Greg takes us on a journey through his storied career—from his start at AM Best and fast-paced reporting at Reuters during the Gulf War, to covering financial markets in Hong Kong and eventually landing in the insurtech world via P&C Specialist.

Greg shares the changing landscape of insurance journalism, the importance of curiosity in newsrooms, and why property and casualty insurance is far from boring. He also dives into how storytelling in insurance is evolving, the impact of mental health awareness in industry coverage, and why the media is playing a larger role in how consumers and professionals understand risk, regulation, and innovation in the p&c sector.

Whether you're in underwriting, claims, or just passionate about the insurtech space, this episode is packed with rich historical context, compelling stories, and real-world advice on careers, content, and curiosity.
