Matt sits down with insurance powerhouse Jess Walker, who brings 20 years of industry experience and a refreshingly human approach to a topic most people dread: insurance.

Jess breaks down the biggest misconceptions tradies, builders, and homeowners have about their cover — including why that “cheap $1,500 policy” could leave you completely exposed, how to tell if your builder is actually insured properly, and why having a broker in your corner can literally save your home, your business, and your sanity.

From tool theft and dodgy exclusions to contract works, home builders warranty, owner-builder policies, and navigating claims when things go catastrophically wrong… Jess covers it all with straight talk, real stories, and a whole lot of passion for protecting everyday Aussies.
