In this week's episode of Insurance Town, I had the privilege of sitting down with my good friend Kelly Smith.Kelly is one of those people who has truly lived the insurance industry from every angle. She grew up in a family agency, spent time at the front desk, worked in personal lines, commercial lines, agency operations, underwriting, carrier sales, and now helps independent agencies grow through her work with FirstChoice.What I loved about this conversation is that Kelly's story is not just about insurance. It is about curiosity, hard work, education, family, leadership, and finding your place in an industry that can open a lot of doors if you are willing to keep learning.We talked about what it was like growing up in an independent agency, hiding under desks, messing with paper files, and learning the business from the inside out. Kelly shared how that agency background gave her a completely different perspective when she moved to the carrier side. She understood the urgency agents feel because she had sat in that seat herself.We also talked about her passion for education. Kelly shared a powerful story about being homeschooled, feeling behind academically when she started college, and how that experience fueled her desire to keep learning. Since then, she has earned multiple designations, completed her CPCU, and recently finished her MBA in insurance. The best insurance professionals don't just master one job. They learn the entire ecosystem. Kelly's career took her from an independent agency to the carrier side and now to helping agencies grow through a network. Each step gave her a new perspective that made her more valuable. Whether it's earning a designation, volunteering with an association, mentoring others, or simply staying curious, investing in your education compounds over time. Your next opportunity often comes from something you're willing to learn today. One of my favorite parts of the episode was our conversation about the next generation. Kelly's daughter recently attended risk management camp at App State, and we talked about how important it is to show young people that this industry is bigger than home and auto insurance. There are opportunities in sales, underwriting, claims, marketing, leadership, technology, agency ownership, and so much more.Kelly also shared what it means to be recognized as one of Insurance Business America's Rising Stars. Her humility really came through in this part of the conversation. She talked about being grateful for the opportunities she has had, but also wanting her story to encourage others, especially women and young professionals, to see what is possible in this business.00:00 Welcome 02:35 Born Into Insurance  06:00 Agency vs. Carrier: Seeing Both Sides  09:10 Can We Attract the Next Generation?  12:20 From Homeschool to MBA  17:45 Why Education Creates Opportunity  23:45 Leadership Through Service  26:00 Becoming an Insurance Rising Star  30:15 Helping Independent Agencies Grow  31:45 The Truth About Insurance Networks  35:45 Connect with Kelly  36:50 Sponsors & ClosingIf you're looking for one of the most innovative events in the insurance industry, check out Insurance Fest, hosted by Insurance Business America.

On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with country superstar Luke Combs for a wide-ranging conversation that starts in the football locker room and ends on the main stage. The boys kick things off debating whether concussions exist before getting into Luke’s high school football days, including being teammates with Caleb Pressley and watching Brandon Spikes be an absolute man amongst boys.

Luke opens up about moving to Nashville, learning the music business the hard way, and the relationships that helped him find his lane. He talks about breaking the mold in country music, whether he ever got jaded after blowing up, and who he wanted to meet when he first arrived in town.

We compare Adam King to Aaron Rodgers with how their wives/girlfriends might not be real. And we do Name Dropping with Jeff Rimer.

We're gearing up for a monster slate of games in Week 5 and our trip to the massive Penn State-Oregon contest this weekend. But first, we start with the news, including a tough season-ending injury for Syracuse QB Steve Angeli, a fine for the Orange for faking injuries, and the SEC's official ruling on Oklahoma's controversial trick-play touchdown. We also touch on the SEC's newly announced annual opponents for the next four years and share the heartbreaking news of former App State coach Shawn Clark's unexpected passing. Then, we dive into the latest AP and Verballer Top 12 polls, breaking down the disparities and debating which teams are ranked too high or too low as we enter Week 5. From there, we ask whether we've seen enough to truly believe in five discussion-worthy teams: Florida State, Miami, Indiana, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma. And finally, we turn our attention to a loaded Week 5 schedule, giving our full breakdowns and predictions for the three biggest matchups of the weekend (No. 4 LSU at No. 13 Ole Miss, No. 7 Alabama at No. 4 Georgia, and No. 3 Oregon at No. 5 Penn State).
