DANG learning curve for personal and professional development. Our awesome guests more than make up for our lack of talent.

Hosted by Jon Isaacson "The Pro" and Bryan Close "The Joe", the dynamic duo discusses the ups and downs of transitioning your company into property insurance damage repairs. These discussion are both casual, often conducted while the hosts enjoy a nice cigar, whiskey and/or a local craft brew; as well as deeper dives into topics with guests who are subject matter experts.
