RIP to a media legend. Ted Turner's legacy of transformation is still being felt across many industries, included. As we touch on often in this space, the pace of change around tech, data, distribution and customer expectations continues to accelerate. Organizations willing to adapt early to structural change tend to look unconventional right up until the market catches up to them.

Not all leadership happens in the boardroom.

Paragon's Andrew Bustillo was just recognized as a "Distinguished Visitor" in Antigua, Guatemala for his work supporting Covenant House Internationalvand vulnerable youth. Turns out the same guy who knows his way around complex risk also knows how to show up where it matters most.

"Andrew, you represent a type of leadership that is rare today: that of someone who has been at the highest echelons of business success but has not lost the ability to be moved by the pain of the most vulnerable,” Antigua Mayor Juan Manuel Asturias said at a ceremony earlier this month. "Let’s keep working, because the Antigua we dream of is built this way: with excellence, with character, with honest partnerships, and with our hearts set on our children.”

That message hits close to home. At Paragon, our team shows up each year for the Covenant House SleepOut, spending a night outdoors to raise awareness and funds for youth facing homelessness. It’s a small sacrifice with real impact, powered entirely by people who care enough to get involved.

The mayor of Antigua bestowed the honor on the longtime Covenant House supporter and founder of Pa’Lante, a group that champions our mission in Guatemala.

Insurance isn’t exactly known for its bubbly personality (understatement?). Too many wonky reports. Too much corpo jargon. Not enough people saying what’s actually going on.

So we took it upon ourselves to build the weekly Paragon Rider newsletter, where we absorb everything, cut through all the noise and deliver the part that usually gets left out.

If you’re in the business, you’ll get it.

Follow along with almost 5,000 other subscribers on LinkedIn, and you'll be the hit of the next insurance mixer: https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=6999451077465030656

The E&S market just crossed a milestone... and sent a signal. U.S. E&S premiums topped $105 billion in 2025, breaking through the $100 billion mark for the first time. But, according to the latest data dive from S&P Global Market Intelligence growth slowed to 7.8%, the first single-digit year since 2018, as commercial property flipped from tailwind to headwind.

Take a deeper dive into the numbers:

The E&S market surpassed $100 billion in direct premiums written for the first time in 2025, but its growth rate fell to 7.8% — the lowest in eight years, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
