Episode 61: Super CEO Jorey Ramer



On this week’s podcast is Jorey Ramer, the CEO of a company called Super, that provides subscription care of home appliances and home systems. It’s in a category of services called insurtech that takes the more familiar home warranty to the next level with the addition of preventative care capabilities and the use of a consumer-friendly app and web interface. A service provider like Super isn’t the typical guest on this podcast, but Jorey wrote a really good guest article for the RTT website on how smart home owners expect more from their service providers, and we wanted to learn more about his company and how they find service technicians to fix various products and systems in the home.
