Key Quotes:

• “Look, I’m willing to accept being unprofitable, but I need to make sure I understand why I’m unprofitable.” – Kyle Nakatsuji
• “But on our side, it’s just about being aware of the ethics of the tool that you’re using, and making sure that you don’t get too wrapped up in what’s possible, and pay attention to what you should actually be doing with the tool.” – Kyle Nakatsuji
• “If you read a bunch of terrible business, which you subsequently offload to a reinsurer, who then loses their apps on it, you’re not going to have a reinsurance deal in a year or two, which means it’s all going to come back on your balance sheet.” – Kyle Nakatsuji
