Good News for People Who Love Good News: Brenden Corr of Project 55 on Checking in on Each Other in Insurance

"Insurance is a business that's designed to help others, and yet we somehow forgot to check in on one another."This week, The Salty Adjuster sits down with Brenden Corr of Project 55 to talk about authenticity, burnout, sobriety, mental health, and why insurance professionals spend so much time taking care of everyone else while often neglecting themselves.Along the way, Brenden explains why his LinkedIn feed is just as likely to feature a poll about Panda Express for airport breakfast as it is a conversation about mental health. For him, it's all part of the same mission: replacing polished corporate personas with authentic human connection.Together, they explore the emotional weight carried by adjusters, claims professionals, underwriters, brokers, and everyone else working on the front lines of helping people through difficult moments.In the second half of the episode, Producer Brett joins The Salty Adjuster to reflect on the emotions and memories the conversation surfaced. What follows is a candid discussion about grief, workplace culture, pregnancy loss, catastrophe claims, the importance of checking on friends, and why vulnerability shouldn't be treated like a weakness.There are laughs. There are uncomfortable truths. There are a few stories that still stick with us years later.Most importantly, there's a reminder that behind every claim file, every KPI, and every LinkedIn profile is a human being carrying something you may never see.Grab a salty snack, mute your notifications, and join us for a conversation that matters.ResourcesProject 55: https://project55.orgSuicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or Text 988Email the show: [email protected] this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend.
