In Episode 39 of The Enlightened Agent, Jason Keck sits down with Natasha Kiemnec for a candid, no-filter conversation about artificial intelligence, risk, and how the role of insurance professionals is evolving. Natasha shares the story behind Lion Specialty and how she and her team built a modern brokerage focused on high-touch service, data, and thought leadership. As AI reshapes the industry, the goal is not just adoption, but rethinking how work gets done across underwriting, claims, and client service. They explore the less-discussed side of AI, including emerging risks, regulatory considerations, and how carriers and brokers are beginning to adapt. From hallucinations and errors & omissions exposure to real-world underwriting use cases, the conversation highlights why a human-in-the-loop remains critical.
