Hello everyone and welcome to At Barrens.

I'm Andy Surwer. And welcome to our guest, Tom Gainer,

CEO of Markell Group. Tom, great to see you. Thanks for joining us.

Andy, thanks so much for having me. Good to be here. I know this is a question you often get,

but please explain to us what Markell Group is exactly. Well, Markell Group is an insurance-based holding company.

Been around since 1930s. We're coming up on 100 years. We started out in North Virginia,

insuring Jitney transportation devices and taxi cabs of its day and kept in sort of specialty forms of insurance for a long time. We've been

investors in public equity securities for a very long time and started about 20 years ago.

We moved from buying publicly traded securities to buy and wholly owned businesses. We have

a collection of insurance and investment and non-insurance businesses

that comprise the Markell Group.

All right.

Well, a lot of people might say that sounds a little bit like Berkshire Hathaway.

You get that a lot, but you're a little Berkshire Hathaway.

Is that the case, Tom, and how intentional is that?
