Everything You Need to Know About Homeow...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

This episode is your masterclass in everything you need to know about home owner's and renter's insurance. Steve Lekas, co-founder and CEO of Branch Insurance, is here to educate and demystify all things homeowner’s insurance.  We talk about it all, how much insurance should you have, how to save money, and some fun tips including my very favorite insurance policy that you need to have in this episode

Steve got his start in insurance at Allstate to put himself through school at Kent State. A decade later he went on to build the first-ever online home insurance business at Esurance. After 18 years in the industry, Steve became increasingly frustrated with how broken insurance had become with lengthy processes and rising costs. Chasing down his entrepreneurial calling, Steve set out to right the wrongs of the industry by creating insurance that’s quick, easy, affordable, and built to do good. In August of 2019 Branch Insurance pioneered the quickest way to bundle home and auto insurance completely online and is now embarking on a national expansion.
