  • Grateful

    I listen to the podcast regularly. I have only been in insurance for 3 years and had no prior knowledge. I was given keys to an office with a very small book of business. You all have been my saving grace. I have learned so much. Thank you for offering your time and guidance.

  • Great Podcast

    Michael and Courtney are beasts. They have the Meidas Touch - everything they touch turns into gold. I’m honored to know them and I promise you they are giving you the best knowledge there is on insurance. They don’t gate-keep knowledge and wisdom like other podcasters out there. They give it you real and honest, whether you like it or not, and they say the things that needs to be said. Not for fame or money, but to genuinely help out your insurance business.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

495. Why Most Insurance Agencies Aren't Ready for AI (And What to Fix First)
Q: What is the first foundational element an agency should build to scale with AI?
People and clear role definitions, including a dedicated operations-minded leader, form the foundation; only after this is set should automation and AI be layered in.
481. How to Streamline New Hire Licensing So You Can Actually Run Your Agency Like a CEO
Q: What is the biggest disconnect between recruiting and licensing, and how can agencies fix it?
The gap is the speed and complexity of licensing; agencies should set explicit timelines, connect recruits with a clear study plan, and leverage specialized pre-licensing providers to keep candidates engaged and on track.
459. How to Recruit Insurance Agents and Build a $500M Agency Model with Jay Wolfberg
Q: What does his training and development look like in a continually recruiting environment, and how do they prepare new agents for leadership?
The guest explains that they emphasize systematized training, automation, and a culture that supports growth, with a focus on consistent, scalable processes and a long-term vision rather than quick, short-term gains.
459. How to Recruit Insurance Agents and Build a $500M Agency Model with Jay Wolfberg
Q: So tell me when you were considering what you're going to do next, why did this one stand out?
He chose WeInsure largely because of the people and the culture, and because the franchise model aligned with his desire to scale a sales-centric business without getting bogged down by service and administrative work.
460. Beat the AI Gatekeeper With This Simple Insurance Voicemail Script
Q: Ray asked, Michael, I need help with voicemail scripts that get you past the AI gatekeeper in everyone's phone now.
The host explains a simple, repeatable framework: keep it short, create curiosity, and state a clear, important purpose so the recipient is compelled to call back or engage, using scripted lines that can be read quickly by AI gatekeepers.
