Reinsurance Nation – Video Podcast
Conversations with administrators and industry leaders on dealer reinsurance structure, transparency, and long-term value
Reinsurance Nation is a podcast focused on pulling back the curtain on dealer reinsurance programs by sitting down with the administrators behind them. Hosted by Michael Aufmuth, the show features in-depth conversations with industry administrators to discuss how their programs are structured, how they operate in the real world, and what differentiates one approach from another. Each episode explores the nuances, philosophies, and “secret sauce” behind reinsurance programs, giving dealers a clearer understanding of how different models work so they can evaluate fit, structure, and long-term strategy with confidence.
Why This Podcast Exists
Dealer reinsurance is often discussed, but rarely explained in a way that allows dealers to truly compare options. Too many conversations happen behind closed doors or are filtered through sales narratives.
Reinsurance Nation was created to change that.
This platform is designed to:
-
Give administrators a space to explain how their programs work
-
Help dealers understand differences in structure and execution
-
Encourage transparency across fees, reserves, reporting, and claims handling
-
Elevate the overall quality of reinsurance conversations in the industry
These are real discussions, not scripted presentations.
What We Talk About
Each episode focuses on practical topics dealers care about, including:
-
How different reinsurance structures are set up
-
The role of administrators versus reinsurance entities
-
Claims handling philosophy and customer experience

The objective is clarity, not comparison shopping.
