In this episode, Sondre Rasch, founder & CEO of SafetyWing, breaks down how his team is building global health insurance and infrastructure for digital nomads, and what it takes to operate in one of the most regulated industries in the world.

* From policy advisor in the Norwegian government to a $50M revenue insurance company

* The legal and regulatory hacks that let SafetyWing serve nomads across 180+ countries

* Why differentiated products can thrive where generic ones die, even under heavy regulation

* The hidden traps of “innovation labs” and how to actually partner with insurers

* How SafetyWing’s Nomad Citizen program is taking first steps toward an “internet country”

* How SafetyWing is the “oddly mature company” within the network state community

If you’re building in insurance, frontier tech, or the network state space, this is a field guide to turning regulatory complexity into a moat — and building systems that outlive any single jurisdiction.
