What happens when you ditch the studio and take the podcast to the skies?

In this episode of the I Hate Insurance Podcast, host Rick Lindsey takes flight—literally—for a candid, unscripted conversation with The Collector.

Set in a helicopter flying over the Utah mountains, the conversation weaves through a wide range of topics: the broken incentives in insurance, the hidden value in salvage, building shooting ranges, vetting firearms policies, and the frustrations of dealing with clueless lawyers and adjusters. With no pretense and no filter, Rick lays out his unapologetic views on why the system is broken and how common sense—not bureaucracy—should drive decision-making.

From ATV stories and elk hunting to policy loopholes and hurricane recovery, this episode is part rant, part wisdom, and part altitude-induced adrenaline. If you’re tired of insurance talk that dodges the truth, this one hits hard—with rotor blades whirring in the background.
