Real Life Superpowers

In this episode, we speak with Oded Barak. Having identified a need in the insurance landscape, he left a promising career as an executive in leading global corporations, to co-found his startup Five Sigma. To date, they’ve raised $26 Million USD, and dozens of insurance carriers and Insurtechs use their solution. We discuss: • The motivations of stepping outside of your comfort zone and walking away from a stable career to “hunt your own food”. • Identifying a supply and demand gap and doubling down on it. • The importance of experimenting and testing ideas, embracing uncertainty, and navigating with it as a given. • The power of agility, paying attention to feedback and not sticking to a “set in stone” plan. • What you need to consider in your go-to-market strategy. • How to work your way up to tier-1 clients for your startup. • Navigating stress. • Actively seeking blind spots. • And much more!
