The stories will be hilarious, the content will help you grow as an industry professional, no matter if you are a senior leader at a carrier, or a brand new Captive or independent agent. On this podcast you will hear interviews from three different Segments: First and foremost, AGENTS. How are they and what are they doing to provide “So Much More to their clients and Carriers”. Their funniest stories. And More. Second, the Carriers. Senior leaders, Local leaders. Carriers have deep bench strength in their knowledge vault. How they do “So Much More” for the Agents... We’ll introduce you to their side of the equation, in a way you have not seen yet. Third, Insurance vendors. #Insuretech. CRMs, lead providers, All things that we should consider as agents and carriers to make life better for the Independent Distribution channel. These are going to be no nonsense interviews on what the product does, why it is worth it, etc. I’ll push them to know what makes their Tech or angle better than the next tech company.I’ll try to get one done a week.
