But we're pouring a lot of effort with a lot of smart people to improve and try to get better, and to try to do things just a little bit differently.” - Raymond Lynch “Behind the scenes, it may not be the traditional underwriting relationship that you're used to, but know that we have some really strong underwriting minds that are kind of keeping the guardrails in place and making sure that we're writing the right business.” - Raymond Lynch Resources Mentioned: Raymond Lynch LinkedIn Coterie Insurance Reach out to Ryan Hanley
