  • The Advisor Gap: CPA vs Broker (S1E2)
    May 5 2026

    Most business owners have a CPA, an insurance broker, and maybe a financial advisor. The problem is they’re rarely working together.

    In this episode of Uncovered, Blake Erickson sits down with Kevin Kuhn and Michael Marshall of Kuhn & Company to break down what happens when those conversations don’t happen and where gaps start to show up.

    They cover the real differences between compilations, reviews, and audits, common payroll and benefits mistakes that create tax issues, ACA reporting pitfalls employers are running into, and how better coordination between advisors can uncover savings, reduce risk, and improve decision-making.

    If you’re a business owner or part of a leadership team, this episode will help you ask better questions and get more out of the advisors you already have.

  • Own Your Risk? Inside Captive Insurance (S1E1)
    Mar 17 2026

    What if your insurance premiums didn't just disappear into a carrier's pocket every year?

    Captive insurance lets qualifying businesses form their own insurance company, retain underwriting profit, and take real control of their risk program. In this episode of Uncovered, host Blake Erickson sits down with DSP P&C producer and shareholder Mike Pohl to break down captive insurance from the ground up.

    They cover what a captive actually is (no jargon), the financial case for mid-market businesses paying $250K+ in commercial premiums, a real client case study showing $1M+ in five-year returns on a $700K annual program, who should explore a captive and who should stay away, and what the evaluation process looks like before you commit.

    Whether you're a business owner, CFO, or advisor to companies navigating complex insurance decisions, this one's worth 20 minutes of your time.
