Ep 60 Fear breeds discipline, alignment and innovation: Talbir Bains CEO Volante Global

Today’s guest is someone highly thought of in the London Market
whose skills are in high demand.  Three years ago he set out
to start his own business and reshape the MGA model in a highly
radical way that seeks to align the agent as closely to the
carriers backing them as possible. Many businesses say they are
going to break the mould but what Talbir Bains is trying to
achieve at Volante has never been done before. He and I had been
introduced and briefly shaken hands a couple of times over the
years, but I had never interviewed him in depth.


I am very glad that I did. Talbir is as smart and visionary as
you would expect, but I had no idea of the depth of his
conviction, the scale of his ambition and the radical nature of
the new type of MGA he is bringing to market. Listen on if you
want to learn what the MGA of the future is going to look like.
