This episode, we're joined by Lena Bourgeois from Equifax, who shares her fascination with cultural differences and is an expert on credit scores and their impact on car insurance. Lena discusses her experiences as a European in the US, gives us a peek into her life in the automotive industry, and we begin to understand how the world of credit scores intersects with car insurance.  As we navigate through our discussion, Lena enlightens us on how credit isn't just about borrowing money; it's a vital cog in the wheel of auto insurance too.
