Hosted by Stanley Meytin and Dominic Piccirillo, co-founders of Elevate Teams, the show dives into the real journey—growth, chaos, culture, and the systems that unlock time and revenue.
You’ll hear from independent insurance agency owners, entrepreneurs, and operators who are in the arena: how they hire, how they lead, and how they use world-class talent to level up. It’s fast, funny, and practical—no jargon, no theory, just the plays that actually work.
Who it’s for:
Owners, principals, and operators who want real leverage—better processes, better people, better outcomes.
What you’ll get:
Actionable hiring and ops strategies, culture-first leadership insights, and memorable stories that push you to think bigger and build bolder.

The Queen Bee of Connecting: Why Culture-First Hiring Changes Everything for Insurance Agencies ft. Kelly Bailey
"Do you know Kelly Bailey?"
If you're in Florida insurance, the answer is yes, and you're probably best friends. (And if not, you will soon.) 🐝
In episode 2 of Elevate the Hustle, Stan and Dom sit down with Kelly Bailey—founder of Hive Recruiter and serial connector who turned decades of "side hustle" placements into a full-time business.
They dig into:
- Why fear of failure keeps people from starting, and why Kelly did it anyway
- What actually drives people to leave their jobs (spoiler: it's not always money)
- The "vibe check" that matters more than checking boxes on a resume
- Why most agency owners are hiring the wrong people for the wrong jobs
- How Stan finally convinced Kelly to stop working until 1 AM and hire her own VA, and what happened when she finally did
Real talk, real stories, and occasionally real bad language.
If you're an insurance agency owner or entrepreneur who wants straight talk and stories from the trenches, hit play.
