Agency Nation Radio - Insurance Marketing, Sales and Technology
On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, we explore technology and its real-world impact on independent agencies. Join host Bobbie Collies, chief insurance officer at Coterie Insurance, as she unpacks how technology is not just about tools and software—it's about people. Collies is joined by two industry leaders: Chris Cline, executive director of the Big “I” Agents Council for Technology (ACT), and Todd Jackson, Big “I” Chairman and owner and partner at McGowan Insurance Group. Together, they discuss the challenges, opportunities and future of technology in the independent agency system. Cline discusses the evolution of ACT, including an overview of the “Letter to the Industry,” which highlights the pillars critical to technology success: data, connectivity, AI and people. As an agency owner, Jackson brings perspective to listeners who may want to see their agency use more technology, but aren't sure the best path for leadership buy-in. “Understand that you may be working in an agency that's owned by someone like me, and you may find resistance, you may find challenges and this may frustrate you at times,” says Jackson, “And this hopefully will be a perspective for you to see how to talk to these folks, who are intimidated and don't understand what's available to them and give them avenues and insights on ways to embrace that.” Whether you're a tech-savvy agent or just starting to explore what technology can do for your agency, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you thrive in today's digital landscape. Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success, and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today. From Main Street USA to the pages of Independent Agent magazine—we've got the stories you want to hear.

Send us a Text Message.This episode comes with Poopourri.Jason, Jim, and Joseph treat the listeners with some of the best live action dog performances in television and movies.Jim tries to get one of his selections on the list by declaring that his dog is the only one that is still alive.Jason is a friend to all animals... except Collies. You can't trust a Collie.You don't have a soul if your don't cry watching Old Yeller.You also have a bad teacher if you watched Old Yeller in school.You lost Busy Bee!!!You may know him as Toto, but his real friends still called him Terry.Put me down! I'm Walt Wizney!!Which dog is so good that he gets two names in the movie?Which celebrity feud was caused by Beasley the dog?
A complete guide to finding a dog to perfectly match your personality and lifestyle. With hundreds of dog breeds to choose from, which one would perfectly suit you and your needs? Dogs are the funniest, cutest and friendliest ever! They're not called “man's best friend” for nothing, right? But with hundreds of breeds to choose from, which one would perfectly suit your lifestyle and needs? Let's find out! But first, while you're searching for your perfect canine companion, also keep an eye out for 3 Bright Side lightbulbs hidden throughout this video. Once you've found all of them, comment the time stamps down below! Good luck! Guard dogs 0:42 Family-friendly dogs 1:22 Athletic dogs 2:00 Lap dogs 2:34 Dogs for busy singles 3:06 Dogs for seniors 3:56 Dogs for an apartment 4:27 Dogs for multi-pet households 5:00 Dogs that do well in hot climates 5:36 Dogs that do well in cold climates 6:15 Hypoallergenic dogs 6:44 Dogs for a newbie 7:40 SUMMARY - If you're one of these people and you want your pooch to look after your home, you should probably consider a Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, or German Shepherd. - If you have a big family full of kids or just welcomed a newborn into this world, it can seem challenging to pick the perfect dog breed. But this is the territory where a Labrador or Golden Retriever would be completely unbeatable! - Consider getting a Pointer or a Setter since they're pretty much built for running. If you want something a bit smaller, a Jack Russell Terrier can be a good choice as well. - If you're looking for a furry cuddle buddy who will always be happy to laze around on the sofa with you, a French Bulldog or a Maltese is your perfect fit. - Some breeds deal with being home alone better than others: think about getting a Shar Pei or a Basset Hound. - If you're retired and have decided to welcome a dog into your home, a good option for you would be a Boston Terrier, a Pug, or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. - . If the dog is small, it doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be happy living in smaller space. Consider getting a Yorkshire Terrier or a Bulldog for a small apartment. - Retrievers, Collies, and Spaniels are always happy to have company to play with, so they'll likely make a great match with your other pets. Terriers or breeds typically used in dogfighting can sometimes be a bit complicated. - Most Terriers can take the heat, and they come in lots of sizes. At the same time, St. Bernards, Samoyeds, and Boxers won't feel good in hot weather. - Breeds that prefer a colder climate normally have a thick double coat and more body fat. So, as you can probably guess, a good choice is a St. Bernard, Malamute, Husky, or Samoyed. - German Shepherds aren't a good breed for you due to their dry skin, which results in a lot of dander built-up. The same goes for long-haired breeds as well. - Getting a dog for the first time ever is both exciting and nerve-racking. There are so many breeds to choose from, and they're all so cute and adorable! If you're new to the dog-owning world, then a Labrador, Border Collie, or Poodle will be perfect for you.

Time to get in behind a record breaker at a Central Otago dog trial. The Tarras Collie Dog Club is celebrating its centennial trials, which kicked off in Lindis Valley today. At 83, life member Pete 'PL' Anderson is the oldest competing club member - and PL's got a couple of senior dogs to boot. Lisa Owen caught up with him after his first run of the day.
In this second installment of guide dog history, we introduce you to a new generation of service dogs and the growing, often unexpected, range of breeds being deployed. Today, in every part of the world service dogs are being trained and certified to guide the visually and hearing impaired. As scientists explore new frontiers in canine capabilities, evidence suggests that dogs can modify their behavior when a human's biochemistry changes. This incredible olfactory sense offers humans yet another reason to appreciate, admire, and adore the canine counterparts who stay by their side in service. Bonafide Bits: Sorry, triviaphiles but Timmy never fell down a well on Lassie's watch. In 1938, an engineer who was hard of hearing relied on his canine pal, Rags, to know when the city water station pumps started and stopped. In 1976, college students in Massachusetts began training dogs as four-legged prosthetic “ears” for human handlers. On July 26, 1990, President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which gave widespread accessibility to service dogs. In 2018, the non-profit, Medical Mutts, trained five dogs to identify and respond to the scent of someone who is having, or just experienced, a seizure. Featured Breeds: Golden Retriever The Golden Retriever, an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, stands among America's most popular dog breeds. They are serious workers at hunting and fieldwork, as guides for the blind, and in search-and-rescue, enjoy obedience and other competitive events, and have an endearing love of life when not at work. Discover more about Golden Retrievers at AKC's Golden Retriever Breed Biography. Labrador Retriever The sweet-faced, lovable Labrador Retriever is America's most popular dog breed. Labs are friendly, outgoing, and high-spirited companions who have more than enough affection to go around for a family looking for a medium-to-large dog. Labs are famously friendly. They are companionable housemates who bond with the whole family, and they socialize well with neighbor dogs and humans alike. But don't mistake his easy-going personality for low energy: The Lab is an enthusiastic athlete that requires lots of exercise like swimming and marathon games of fetch, to keep physically and mentally fit. Discover more about Labrador Retrievers at AKC's Labrador Retriever Breed Biography. German Shepherd Dog There are many reasons why German Shepherd Dogs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherd Dogs will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” Discover more about German Shepherd Dogs at AKC's German Shepherd Dog Breed Biography. Doberman Pinscher Sleek and powerful, possessing both a magnificent physique and keen intelligence, the Doberman Pinscher is one of dogkind's noblemen. This incomparably fearless and vigilant breed stands proudly among the world's finest protection dogs. Discover more about Doberman Pinschers at AKC's Doberman Pinscher Breed Biography. Collie The majestic Collie, thanks to a hundred years as a pop-culture star, is among the world's most recognizable and beloved dog breeds. The full-coated “rough” Collie is the more familiar variety, but there is also a sleek “smooth” Collie. Discover more about Collies at AKC's Collie Breed Biography. Shetland Sheepdog (aka Sheltie) Shelties bear a strong family resemblance to their bigger cousin, the Collie. The Shetland Sheepdog is a small, active, and agile herding dog standing between 13 and 16 inches at the shoulder. The long coat is harsh and straight, with a dense undercoat, and comes in black, blue merle, and sable, with white markings. Discover more about Shelties at AKC's Sheltie Breed Biography. Boston Terrier The Boston Terrier is a lively little companion recognized by his tight tuxedo jacket, sporty but compact body, and the friendly glow in his big, round eyes. His impeccable manners have earned him the nickname “The American Gentleman.” Discover more about Boston Terriers at AKC's Boston Terrier Breed Biography. Chihuahua The Chihuahua is a balanced, graceful dog of terrier-like demeanor, weighing no more than six pounds. The rounded “apple” head is a breed hallmark. The erect ears and full, luminous eyes are acutely expressive. Coats come in many colors and patterns and can be long or short. The varieties are identical except for the coat. Chihuahuas possess loyalty, charm, and a big-dog attitude. Even tiny dogs require training, and without it, this clever scamp will rule your household like a little Napoleon. Compact and confident, Chihuahuas are ideal city pets. They are too small for roughhousing with kids, and special care must be taken in cold weather, but Chihuahuas are adaptable as long as they get lots of quality time in their preferred lap. Discover more about Chihuahuas at AKC's Chihuahua Breed Biography. Akita Akitas are burly, heavy-boned spitz-type dogs of imposing stature. Standing 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder, Akitas have a dense coat that comes in several colors, including white. The head is broad and massive and is balanced in the rear by a full, curled-over tail. The erect ears and dark, shining eyes contribute to an expression of alertness, a hallmark of the breed. Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of strangers and often intolerant of other animals, Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love. They must be well-socialized from birth with people and other dogs. Discover more about Akitas at AKC's Akita Breed Biography. Pembroke Welsh Corgi Among the most agreeable of all small house dogs, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a strong, athletic, and lively little herder who is affectionate and companionable without being needy. They are one of the world's most popular herding breeds. Discover more about Pembroke Welsh Corgis at AKC's Pembroke Welsh Corgi Breed Biography. For more information about a specific breed visit the breed's parent club or AKC.org. Shareables: Dogs can be trained to sense a growing list of health conditions including the onset of seizures, heart attacks, and strokes. It is a myth that humans discovered the potential of hearing dogs in the 1970s. Hearing dogs have been in service for generations. No technology exists that can replicate the vast range of the canine sense of smell. Because dogs are just that awesome.

In this podcast episode, we introduce you to a pivotal moment in the story of humans and canines, the training of guide dogs for the blind and visually impaired. Historical data suggests that throughout the millennia, dogs have been in service to humans. From a town square in Ancient China to the perilous battlefields of World War I, dogs have sacrificed their own needs and desires to care for, save, and guide us. Trainers spend months working diligently with guide dogs and their human partners in complex training exercises to prepare them for the tasks. It just may be that dogs are the only animal on earth that provide unconditional obedience paired with unconditional love. Bonafide Bits: There are 2,100 guide dog teams across North America and 22,000 teams worldwide. A 13th-century Chinese scroll depicts a dog guiding a visually impaired person. Several breeds of dogs were trained to assist WW1 soldiers who were rendered sightless by poison gas. In 1927, Dorothy Harrison Eustis wrote The Seeing Eye, a Saturday Evening Post magazine article that introduced America to the concept of training dogs to guide the blind and visually impaired. In 1926, Minnesota Senator Thomas D. Schall introduced a bill that allowed guide dogs to accompany their humans on public transit and in restaurants, an early precursor to the public access rights given to guide dogs under the Americans With Disabilites act Featured Breeds: Golden Retriever The Golden Retriever, an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, stands among America's most popular dog breeds.

Poodle Forget those old stereotypes of Poodles as sissy dogs. Poodles are eager, athletic, and wickedly smart “real dogs” of remarkable versatility. The Standard, with his greater size and strength, is the best all-around athlete of the family, but all Poodles can be trained with great success. Discover more about Poodles at AKC's Poodle (Standard) Breed Biography. Boxer Loyalty, affection, intelligence, work ethic, and good looks: Boxers are the whole doggy package. Bright and alert, sometimes silly, but always courageous, the Boxer has been among America's most popular dog breeds for a very long time. Discover more about Boxers at AKC's Boxer Breed Biography. Doberman Pinscher Sleek and powerful, possessing both a magnificent physique and keen intelligence, the Doberman Pinscher is one of dogkind's noblemen.

Pointer The noble Pointer is the ultimate expression of canine power and grace. Unquestioned aristocrats of the sporting world, Pointers carry themselves proudly and are capable of great speed and agility. The coat comes in several colors, solid or in patterns but as the breed's devotees like to say, a good Pointer can't be a bad color. A large male can stand 28 inches at the shoulder and weigh up to 75 pounds; a small female might weigh as little as 45 pounds and stand 23 inches. Discover more about Pointers at AKC's Pointer Breed Biography. Airedale Terrier His size, strength, and unflagging spirit have earned the Airedale Terrier the nickname “The King of Terriers.” The Airedale stands among the world's most versatile dog breeds and has distinguished himself as a hunter, athlete, and companion. Discover more about Airedale Terriers at AKC's Airedale Terrier Breed Biography. Giant Schnauzer The Giant Schnauzer is a larger and more powerful version of the Standard Schnauzer, and he should, as the breed standard says, be a “bold and valiant figure of a dog.” Great intelligence and loyalty make him a stellar worker and companion. Discover more about Giant Schnauzers at AKC's Giant Schnauzer Breed Biography. Newfoundland The massive Newfoundland is a strikingly large, powerful working dog of heavy bone and dignified bearing. The sweet-tempered Newfie is a famously good companion and has earned a reputation as a patient and watchful “nanny dog” for kids. Discover more about Newfoundlands at AKC's Newfoundland Breed Biography. Puli No other breed can be mistaken for the Puli, a compact but powerful herder covered from head to tail with profuse, naturally occurring cords. Bred to work closely with humans, these agile and faithful little dynamos are quick learners. First, there are those dreadlocks, the instantly recognizable feature of the Puli (pronounced "Poo-lee", "Pulik" is the plural). The coat's naturally occurring cords are wooly, dense, and weatherproof. Either corded or brushed out, Puli coats require lots of attention. Under the dreads there's a compact but powerful dog, standing 16 to 17 inches at the shoulder. Pulik are remarkably agile and light on their feet, earning a reputation as the “acrobat of the dog world.” Discover more about Pulick at AKC's Puli Breed Biography. For more information about a specific breed visit the breed's parent club or AKC.org. Shareables: In 1843, Charles Dickens wrote of guide dogs in his classic “A Christmas Carol.” A freak cigar-lighting accident led Senator Thomas D. Schall to introduce a bill that is the basis of guide dog accessibility laws in place today. When her guide dog Emma began having vision problems, newly sighted Sheila Hocken switched roles to guide the Labrador Retriever during the final months of her dog's life.

In this episode of Power Women In Insurance, Teresa Kitchens sits down with Bobbie Collies, Chief Growth Officer at Coterie Insurance. Bobbie and Teresa talk about data and how it is changing our industry. Episode Highlights: Bobbie shares how she got into the insurance sector and what she's been doing in the insurance technology space. (1:09) Bobbie mentions that many Insurtechs companies started out wanting to disrupt the industry but have since shifted to figuring out how they can best support the current operating model of the industry. (5:06) Bobbie explains how utilizing data is the only way to survive in this industry. (10:03) Bobbie discusses how technological advancements are changing the value proposition of independent agencies. (16:16) Bobbie mentions that Coterie Insurance launched “Simply Bind” in July of this year, which is their underwriting engine paired with their quoting engine, that provides agents with a legitimate quote within seconds or minutes.
