A candid conversation on influence, memes, and insurance with the admin behind The Hard Market. The Hard Market jokingly describes itself as a safe place for insurance professionals, and it’s not wrong. Where else would you find memes about additional endorsements? From its humble beginnings in 2019 as an Instagram page for memes about the industry, The Hard Market has grown to over 66,000 followers, a separate website, and a widely followed pay survey. In this podcast, the anonymous insurance professional behind The Hard Market, discusses their history in the industry, the origins of the endeavor, and its role as a sounding board for different generations of workers.
