Welcome to the Knack 4 Business podcast.

Today's guest is Thomas Watson from Guardsman Insurance Services

Watson distinguishes between businesses actively undermining each other and those that, while operating in the same space, support and share best practices for mutual benefit. The conversation delves into the collaborative nature of the Ontario insurance industry, the sharing of information among competitors for collective improvement, and the approach towards handling business differently across various sectors of insurance.

He also was a guest speaker in our Season 1, Episode 94 titled:
