W ealth is a number, sure, but it’s also a feeling. I grew up living with my mom and maternal grandparents, while my dad played and coached in the NBA. For a time, our family’s safety net was held together by my grandfather’s HVAC business, but in 2001, it nearly came apart.

According to IBM, only 43 percent of consumers trust the insurance industry. In fact, this lack of trust in insurance providers has remained above 50 percent since 2007. Accenture, meanwhile, notes that digital customer communications are taking a front seat in insurance company evaluations, with 4 out of 10 insurance customers reading online reviews and basing their insurance buying decisions on them.
