If somebody is connected to the internet, it has the potential to be hacked. And so, everything that we are doing on a day to day basis is getting more and more technology driven.” - Pat Costello Resources Mentioned: Pat Costello, CPCU LinkedIn Evolve MGA Reach out to Ryan Hanley Learn more about your ad choices.
