Today, Clayton is joined by Ryan Letzeiser, the CEO and co-founder of Obie, to talk about all the challenges that the state of Florida has when it relates to property and flood insurance and how hurricanes and other coastal weather patterns are currently impacting and going to impact the insurance market in the future.
