In the latest episode of the podcast Adult Site Broker Talk, Ashlin Hadden of Ashlin Hadden Insurance is the guest. The founder and CEO of the company is also the driving force behind Essence Protection – a specialty insurance program created exclusively for the sexual wellness industry. Licensed in 48 U.S. states, Hadden has specialized in helping businesses secure insurance solutions in situations where traditional carriers often have limited or no options available.

Over the past decade, Ashlin Hadden has gained national recognition as a speaker and educator. She has a talent for explaining complex insurance topics in a clear and practical way. She regularly appears at industry conferences as well as in publications and podcasts focused on entrepreneurship, specialty insurance, and risk management. Her mission is straightforward: help businesses protect what they have built – without judgment – while increasing awareness of the real risks that business owners in this industry face.

Essence Protection operates as the specialty division of Ashlin Hadden Insurance and serves businesses throughout the U.S. adult industry. The team provides tailored insurance solutions designed for the industry’s unique operational and regulatory needs. Rather than relying on standard commercial policies, they work with carriers that understand the marketplace. In addition to placing coverage, Essence Protection helps clients identify potential gaps in existing policies and delivers practical knowledge that supports long-term business growth.

Bruce Friedman, host of the podcast and CEO of Adult Site Broker, said: “It was great to have Ashlin on. It was like a masterclass on insurance for the adult space. Great discussion.”
