E7. How to protect
your business
Feat. Chris Johnson of Johnsonese Brokerage LLC
“Money doesn't solve every problem, but it solves a lot of problems. If you have insurance, you have some peace of mind that you would not lose everything.”
- Chris
Insurance is not the most fun thing to think about when you're starting out your career, but it's a vital component of building peace of mind into your journey. Hafsah and Yen grill Chris on what to cover when you're an individual creative versus a mid-sized organization versus a big-sized production. Chris helps us to navigate how to get started with the insurance process and most importantly, and how to cover our butts when the worst case scenario becomes real.

Google your area of speciality or medium + insurance and get a couple quotes from at least two insurance companies. Keep in mind, it may take some time to educate the agent about what you do, so be thorough about your needs including how liability, equipment, and copyright affects what you do.
