  • The film reel is awful to listen to

    I like the podcast but have to fast forward through some of the best parts because the film reel sound is tough to listen to in my AirPods. Would be nice to remove that and then I would continue to tune in. Anyone else feeling that way?

  • A Must Listen for Every Insurance Professional

    Yes, there’s a lot of content.

    A lot.

    But that’s what makes it great.

    Ryan, Joey, and Syd all have their own individual format which allows you to pick the one you want to roll with or all 3.

    Every person in the Insurance industry needs to be subscribed, and listening, to this channel.

    The value and energy they provide every episode is unmatched.
