Rebuilding LA: EP1 Fire Insurance

02/05/25 • 42 min

The Taking Inventory podcast was originally about the digital economy and advertising, but after our co-host's house burned down—thanks to LA’s chaos—we’ve shifted our focus to fixing what could be the best city in the world. In our first episode about rebuilding LA, we have Jennifer Fitzgerald, the co-founder and former CEO of Policy Genius. Jennifer is working full-time on recovery and rebuilding efforts after losing her home and most of her neighborhood in the 2025 Palisades Fire in LA.
