Can Satellite Data Lower Your Insurance Premium?

Today's journey on the good ship SS Tomorrow we explore spacefaring technology.

First, we travel to the year 2171, a quick tour of our cosmic neighbourhood sees a hive of mining activity throughout the solar system.

Today's main guest is Richard Joffe, CEO and founder of Honey Insurance in Sydney. When Richard emigrated from the US to Australia he found our insurance sector antiquated. Coming from a tech background, Richard sought to disrupt a decades-old business model with big data and high tech.
