Hello and welcome to the Leadership in Insurance podcast, otherwise known as the Liip.   On today's episode, we talk to Naby Mariyam, CEO and Founder of Coverhero.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nabymariyamCoverhero is an Australian based Insurtech platform that this year launched its first product, Hustle cover, aimed at the rapidly growing gig economy workforce   https://www.hustlecover.com/ Naby was one of the first people I wanted on the show when I thought of the idea. A host of her own podcast #Hustlechat, she is an experienced and insightful guest - not your typical insurance professional.https://www.hustlecover.com/events Naby was incredibly honest, open and direct in this podcast. We cover such topics as: Her unusual route into Insurance and entrepreneurship (Academia - Filmmaker - Entrepreneur -  Insurance?)  The challenges and opportunities of Innovation labs Pitching for funds  The true cost of entrepreneurship - money and family and the sacrifices required  Embracing serendipity to get moving  Building teams in startups  Effective communication  Being "Human" in business  Mental Health  What's next for Coverhero  I really enjoyed this podcast.
