Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CO-OWNER, Chris Rupp of Rupp-Fiore Insurance
Q: So tell us a little bit about, because you have how many locations? Eleven. Tell us about your team and how you operate across those offices.
We operate with a mix of personal and commercial CSRs and producers across eleven locations, supported by a central rating team; we meet regularly to align on markets, rate trends, and service delivery to ensure strong collaboration and consistent customer outcomes.
CO-OWNER, Chris Rupp of Rupp-Fiore Insurance
Q: Now, insurance has changed quite a bit in just a short period of time. How has insurance changed? Why has it changed? And what do you want people to know about that change?
Rates rose due to lawsuits, large losses, and post-COVID cost increases; despite expectations, independent agencies can navigate by leveraging a broad carrier base to obtain better pricing and coverage, while staying adaptable to market shifts and continuing to grow through acquisitions.
PRESIDENT, Andy Mecs of Chicken of the Sea
Q: So tell me how you ended up in this role and what led you to become CEO?
I'm a Pittsburgh native with a legal and business background who joined Del Monte Foods and, after various roles, worked my way up. I've always focused on running the business like it's my own, collaborating with great talent to drive growth and responsible leadership.
CEO, Chris Franklin of Essential Utilities
Q: So tell us everything we should know about your company.
Chris Franklin explains the merger of Aqua and Peoples Natural Gas, the combined scale, and the focus on safety, reliability, and community investment, as well as growth through acquisitions and ongoing capital investment.
CEO, Jeff Hancher of Jeff Hancher Enterprises and Best Selling Author
Q: What is the bedrock of good leadership according to you?
The bedrock is three things in this order: set clear expectations, give meaningful feedback, and hold people accountable, because without clear expectations and proper training, accountability can become punitive rather than productive.
