Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Never Lose—You Either Win or Learn ft. Mike Stromsoe
Q: What inspired you to start UPP and share with our audience what it means?
The inspiration came from a turning point after a day at a conference where a mentor suggested reframing himself as a marketer who happens to own an insurance agency. This shift toward marketing and brand-building, plus subsequent coaching events, led to formalizing UPP in 2013 to help agency owners grow with a systematized approach.
What Drives Insurance Agency Valuations ft. $19B M&A Expert Al Sica
Q: What do private equities look for when acquiring an agency?
They look for capital backing, a leader with a track record in growth and acquisitions, and a clear path to scale; they want to back people who can take the business to the next level and have an exit strategy through growth-driven value creation.
Leaving a $65B Insurance Program to Start From Scratch ft. Allen Hudson
Q: What role did niche specialization play in your growth strategy?
Specializing in a few core markets allowed us to present a stronger value proposition, develop tailored collateral, and build deeper relationships with carriers and clients, which ultimately helped us scale faster than generalists.
Leaving a $65B Insurance Program to Start From Scratch ft. Allen Hudson
Q: How did you navigate carrier appointments and the hard market early on?
I focused on carriers that would appoint me and avoided those with long wait times. I used a targeted approach, building relationships where possible, while gradually creating exclusive programs to regain underwriting authority and scale.
Leaving a $65B Insurance Program to Start From Scratch ft. Allen Hudson
Q: Can you walk us through what pushed you to leave the corporate insurance world and start your own agency?
It was a combination of not owning the business I helped create, not being challenged enough, and wanting to build something with equity and control over the future. I saw an opportunity to leverage my network and start fresh, even though it meant taking on significant risk.
