Former Athlete’s Memoir Unveils How She Broke Free From Her Very Own Monster

“Triumph: Taming the Monster Within” by Ingrid Kern is truly an inspiring account of the author’s turbulent journey in finally achieving real freedom and reaching her lifelong dream. This beautifully written book conveys her struggles growing up as a physically, emotionally, and psychologically abused child.

Kern reveals specific and sensitive moments of her father’s influence on her; an upbringing that would later greatly impact her individuality and mental health. The pages also disclose how she faithfully trained as a sprinter for four years and how her whole career abruptly ended with a torn hamstring.

In spite of her strong desire to move forward and leave the ugly past behind, she still suffered from anxiety, leaving herself helpless and searching for answers to the infinite questions she could possibly make about her life. It takes a tough person to fight the restless voices in one’s head and to practice commitment to conquer one’s monsters — the biggest fears each of us have. How does one woman who suffered from abuse finally heal and free herself from her monster?

Kern, who was born in Vienna, Austria, has been a trained athlete. Having finished seventh during the National Games in 2011 with an extremely nasty injury, she turned to modelling and acting on stage in Europe for 11 years. She then moved to New York before finally settling down in Los Angeles. Kern is now an award winning poet, with several awards received from the International Society of Poets. She is happily juggling her time writing, doing photography, working in real estate, and pursuing her physical fitness. She successfully participated in the Summer Senior Olympics despite having not to run for 49 years.

Former Uber, Yahoo!, and Liberty Mutual Execs Unveil DigiSure: Automated Peer-To-Peer Mobility Insurance Within Seconds

) — DigiSure, the first company to go beyond credit and driving history for mobility and shared economy businesses, today announces the launch of its embedded protection platform to offer instant, individualized micro-insurance policies for better, safer coverage. The company is also announcing $13.1M in funding led by Morado Ventures, with participation from Xplorer Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Clocktower Technology Ventures, True North Cos, and ex-Upwork CEO Fabio Rosati, to help grow its team and scale operations.

Millennials and Gen Z are increasingly turning to car rentals and alternative mobility options like rideshare, scooters and bicycles, fueling the need for a digital-first insurance solution that safeguards against the risks and complexities associated with new forms of mobility. DigiSure’s Protection Suite applies machine learning and AI to effectively manage large amounts of data elements in real time, resulting in more nuanced risk assessment and better pricing. The outcome: tailored coverage options through one seamless protection platform where customers can easily file and manage a claim — in seconds.

“The growing popularity of non-owned vehicles is leaving renters, merchants and vehicle owners alike more vulnerable to fraud, which is why we’ve built a frictionless solution that upholds the highest trust and safety standards for all parties involved,” said Mike Shim, DigiSure co-founder and CEO. “We’re leading with data and customer-centric technology to enhance the safety and accessibility of peer-to-peer vehicle markets like RVs, motorcycles, and EV subscription services, which have seen skyrocketing demand as a result of the pandemic.”

  • Data Validation: AI-powered identity verification utilizing biometrics technology, advanced fraud detection, credit checks, driving history and telematics data integration.

  • Risk Modeling: Data models are monitored, analyzed and proactively updated by DigiSure’s data science team to mitigate potential risk.

  • Automated Approval: Automated approvals and manual reviews to manage edge cases and maintain confidence levels.

DigiSure is co-founded by three-time founder and ex-Yahoo! executive, Mike Shim (CEO), and the former VP of Innovation at Liberty Mutual and experienced insurance executive Paul Smith (COO). The DigiSure team is composed of experienced entrepreneurs and operators from companies including Yahoo!, Uber, Mastercard, and JPMorgan. Their combined backgrounds in marketplaces, insurance, and risk and financial services, is bringing technology-powered solutions to reimagine the future of insurance for marketplaces, starting with scaling mobility businesses’ Trust & Safety operations.

“DigiSure is converging and simplifying insurance with trust and safety as its number one priority,“ said Ash Patel, Managing Director at Morado Ventures. ”The company’s seasoned team possesses deep operational expertise in marketplaces, insurance and data analytics, and we’re thrilled to support them as they build a category-defining business in the $4 trillion insurance industry.”

The company proudly serves innovative mobility and shared economy customers, including EagleRider, Envoy, Fetch, and more, with plans to expand into additional industry segments and markets in the future.

“The most important thing is making sure our community is safe, so when EagleRider searched for an insurance partner to launch EagleShare, our groundbreaking new sister company, the first global peer-to-peer motorcycle rental business, we quickly concluded that DigiSure was the perfect technology-forward provider prioritizing safety above all else” said Karsten Summers, EagleRider and EagleShare CEO.
