Outro: Processory - Take Me To Your Leader https://sugars.bandcamp.com/track/take-me-to-your-leader

We talk about insurance technology as Jathan gives the lowdown on a big grant he just received to do a multi-year project investigating the political economy of the insurtech sector. We then discuss the FIRE sector more generally and look at recent reporting on how property tech companies are buying up homes.
