Embedded Insurance, Risk Carriers, and insurtech Innovation with Theresa Blissing & Michael Waitze

In this episode of Insurtechs.io, host Jeff Shi is joined by Theresa Blissing and Michael Waitze to unpack the dynamic evolution of embedded insurance, the strategic role of risk carriers, and what drives the next generation of insurtech innovation. The conversation dives deep into how customer-centricity is reshaping product development, the differences between U.S. and Asia-Pacific markets, and the broader implications of trust, distribution, and underwriting in modern insurance. Tony and Michael share their extensive industry perspectives—from the necessity of regulation to tech-driven disruption—and challenge listeners to think differently about how insurance can be more inclusive, accessible, and seamlessly integrated into everyday experiences. This episode is packed with insight for founders, investors, and incumbents navigating the future of insurance.
