What happened to being bored?
In this Off Script minisode, Tyler McAndrew, Director of Business Systems and Technology and Mitch Graybill, Director of Property and Casualty Operations, take a trip down memory lane and talk about the things kids today might never experience.
Technology has made life easier in a lot of ways, but has it also taken away some of the freedom, disappointment, and random adventures that came with growing up in the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s?
No insurance talk. No big business lesson. Just two Accel teammates shooting the breeze about growing up, raising kids, and the things they kind of miss.
Welcome to Off Script! Where our team gets to step away from the day job and just be themselves.
