ATO Podcast
My Name is Brad Boldt, Owner of Ameriguard Insurance Agency. My mission on this podcast is to help insurance agencies become bigger, better, stronger business owners. Most of us are insurance agents that evolve into owning a business. Becoming a business owner is often an after thought. By developing as a well rounded business owner earlier, we can avoid some costly mistakes. I'll be interviewing insurance agents, insurance companies and insurance professionals from across the country to help us grow together. We'll be discussing marketing, growth, hiring, acquisitions, challenges, mistakes and wins. Enjoy!!
