Welcome to the first episode of The Unusual Finance Chat for 2025! This week, host Tinus de Jager dives into the latest developments shaping the insurance and financial industries.

We kick off the year on a sobering note, with the devastating wildfires in California causing an estimated $40 billion in insured losses, marking the largest wildfire insurance event in history. What could this mean for the global insurance landscape?

Then, we’re joined by Gideon Galloway, the innovative founder and CEO of King Price Insurance. From decreasing car premiums to a quirky offering of free alien abduction insurance, Gideon shares how his company is reshaping the way we think about coverage.

We also relaunch our stock picks segment with a look at how major South African and international stocks are performing at the start of the year.

Tune in for a thought-provoking, insightful, and even out-of-this-world episode! 🎙️
