À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to Almost Nowhere, the podcast where we explore the cutting-edge intersection of data science, AI, and actuarial science in the P&C insurance industry and beyond. In the world of insurance, there’s a lot of talk about progress, but it often feels like we're "almost nowhere" in terms of real-world change. The path to innovation can be slow, but the possibilities are infinite. This is exactly what we want to explore on Almost Nowhere—the road to transformation, the hurdles we face, and how data and AI are propelling us toward new frontiers. If you're a professional in the insurance industry, whether you're an actuary, data scientist, or a curious outsider, this podcast is for you. Each episode offers deep insights into how emerging technologies are changing the way we think about risk, data, and predictive modeling, with an emphasis on real-world applications and challenges faced by professionals every day.The CAS Institute Gestion et leadership Économie

    On Chain, On Point: Reinsurance, Stablecoins, and the Tech That Actually Matters

    Reinsurance, blockchain, capital structure innovation, and that “actuarial charm”—Jonathan Lim, FCAS joins Alicia Burke and Max Martinelli to map where the future of insurance is headed and who’s actually building it. From AI in underwriting to the hard truths about data silos, from the promise of stablecoins to the myth of fully autonomous insurers, this episode examines the shifts in risk, value, and tech adoption. If you've ever wondered what underwriting with DeFi looks like—or whether legacy carriers will keep up—we've got you.

    Capital Modeling with David Mamane, FCAS
    Jul 9 2025

    What’s capital modeling really about, and why should actuaries care? In this episode, we sit down with David Mamane, FCAS, from RSM to unpack what capital modeling is, why it matters, and how it’s evolving.

    David shares what it was like helping European companies navigate Solvency II, how capital modeling is moving from the CRO’s office to the CFO’s, and why understanding the full balance sheet matters more than ever. We also explore how AI is starting to shift what’s possible (and what’s not) in this space.

    If you’ve ever wondered how pricing, risk, and capital actually connect, or how smarter capital modeling can give your team an edge, this one’s for you.

    Reserving isn’t just about closing the books. It’s a signal. A feedback loop. Maybe even a warning. Why listen? Because ignoring reserves is risky business.


    In this episode, we’re joined by Charlie Stone, Partner at Lane Clark & Peacock, and Brian Fannin, FCAS, to unpack why reserving deserves a front-row seat in strategy conversations. From deterioration trends flagged by the NAIC to using reserving insights for faster pricing pivots, we explore how reserves can be your secret weapon—not just a regulatory checkbox.

    We talk about:

    • Why ignoring the reserving-pricing feedback loop is a competitive miss

    • How regulators (and you) can use machine learning to spot red flags

    • Reserving for the unknown: inflation, catastrophes, and the surprises you can prepare for

    • The promise (and pitfalls) of individual claims reserving

    Whether you’re a pricing actuary, data scientist, or product leader, this episode will change how you think about reserves—forever.
