Substantive conversations about real technology in real insurance agencies.

About the Show

The Insurance Perspectives Podcast is presented by HawkSoft and is the launch pad for our podcast efforts. The show releases every Tuesday and has finished its first iteration (“Season 1”), which focused on HawkSoft’s vast ecosystem of API and Solution Partners as they’re used by our agency customers.

Season 1 featured two-part series divided as 30-minute episodes with a focus on an API or Solution Partner (Part 1) and on a mutual customer using HawkSoft with that Partner (Part 2).

Season 2 (to be released in August of 2024) will feature three five-part series on the following topics:

  1. Conversations with former captive insurance agents and how they made the change to the independent insurance world.
  2. Mental health in the insurance workplace featuring conversations with agency owners and other industry members.
  3. Creating the Ideal Tech Stack – discussions with thought leaders in the insurtech space about tech stacks they’d build for agencies of all sizes.

Episodes in season 2 will vary in length, culminating with a special end-of-the-season episode featuring HawkSoft leadership discussing one of HawkSoft’s core values, “Attitude of Gratitude.”

The goal of the Insurance Perspectives podcast is to provide agency-focused, HOT (Honest, Open, and Transparent) conversations with industry members. The podcast will take a summer break in July as well as a winter break in December.

Podcast Hosts

Kenneth Hendricks, Director of Partner Integrations

Kenneth (“Kenny”) Hendricks started at HawkSoft in 2015. Following just shy of a year as a Product Support Representative, Kenny transferred into HawkSoft’s nascent Marketing department to focus on Product Marketing. Through engagement with the HawkSoft User Group (HUG) and traveling to industry events Kenny developed a strong rapport with both HawkSoft customers and peers in the insurtech space. With the advent of HawkSoft’s Partner API Kenny was tapped to become Director of Partner Integrations to oversee HawkSoft’s push to embrace an open platform that can meet the complex and unique needs of independent insurance agencies. Most importantly to any podcast – Kenny already owned a quality microphone and has a face for radio.
