Podcasts about complete game

The insurance industry often hires for pedigree: the right degree, the right school, and a polished background. But my guest, Misty Carson, proves that grit outperforms a resume every time. Her journey starts in extreme poverty in a trailer park, navigating life as a teen mom, and leads all the way to the top of the insurance game.In this episode, Misty shares the raw reality of how she went from surviving to thriving. We discuss how she translated the hustle of the car sales floor into insurance success, why non-traditional talent is the industry's biggest missed opportunity, and how she turned being "battle-tested" into her greatest competitive advantage. This is the story of what happens when you refuse to let your circumstances define your future.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) She Went From Poverty to Top Producer (00:00:56) The Origin Story: Escaping Poverty and Defying the Odds (00:07:06) The Turning Point: Learning to Bet on Yourself (00:09:34) How Selling Cars Prepared Her to Dominate Insurance (00:18:49) Why the Best Producers Don't Always Have "Perfect" Resumes (00:24:28) "Battle-Tested": Turning a Hard Past Into a Powerful BrandCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Volunteer fire departments and EMS organizations face risks that most businesses can't even imagine. From wrongful termination claims to the unique dangers of the job, they need more than a standard policy, and they need a partner who understands the fire service from the inside out.My guest, Ed Mann, served as the Pennsylvania State Fire Commissioner for 15 years before joining Provident Agency. In this episode of The Broker's Voice, he shares the game plan for protecting first responders. We get into the critical importance of Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) for volunteer departments, how Provident's lifetime benefits protect those injured in the line of duty, and the powerful educational resources they provide to keep departments safe and compliant. This is the guide for brokers who want to serve the people who serve our communities.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Jones and Keefe were blown away with how aggressive the defense was last night. Was that a statement game for the Pats and are they the most complete game of the year?

The status quo is a lack of desire to do something different simply because what you've always done is comfortable. In the insurance industry, this mindset is a death sentence. Agencies are still training producers on sales tactics from two decades ago, ignoring the reality that the game has completely changed.If you want to scale, you have to kill the status quo. In this episode, I'm giving you the framework to modernize your entire sales process. We break down how to use AI to automate your pre-meeting research, the 7-step formula to take total control of the discovery meeting, and why your current proposal strategy is losing you deals. This is the guide to stop doing what's comfortable and start doing what works.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) The "Status Quo" Sales Process is Killing Your Growth (00:05:35) Stop Evaluating AI: It's Here to Stay (00:07:46) Stage 1: Using Tech to Prepare Your Prospect for a Win (00:14:06) Stage 2: Controlling the Discovery Meeting (The 7 P's) (00:19:51) Stage 3: The 3-Step Proposal FrameworkCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

There is a dangerous myth in the industry that building a personal brand means you never have to pick up the phone again. Producers start posting on LinkedIn and assume the leads will just roll in, using content as an excuse to avoid the hard work of prospecting. It's a mindset that leads to a dry pipeline and missed targets.My guest, Micah Salas, proves that the most effective strategy is doing both. Despite being a top producer with a published book and a strong following, he still commits to making 40 cold calls every single day. In this episode, he breaks down the math behind his daily volume, why he believes "more is still more," and how combining a strong reputation with high-volume outreach makes every dial more effective. This is a reality check for anyone hoping to replace the hustle with a hashtag.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Why This Top Producer Still Makes 40 Cold Calls A Day(00:03:29) From Unemployment to Top Producer: A Journey of Persistence (00:14:03) The "Brother-in-Law" Test: Creating Authentic Content (00:26:42) How to Never Run Out of Content Ideas (00:30:51) The Introvert's Approach to Cold Calling(00:33:36) The Math Behind 40 Calls A DayCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

MadDawg, The Dawgologist and Tim talk the Complete Texas game, including that suprising on-line kick that killed the horns.

Most employers are wasting money on "cost containment" solutions that nobody uses. They buy a 1-800 number or a wellness app, hoping for savings, but get zero engagement because employees don't trust a stranger at a call center. If your advocacy solution has no engagement, it has zero ROI. It's like playing slots in the "Healthcare Casino"—you keep putting money in, but the house always wins.Real ROI requires real trust. My guest, Matt McQuide of Synergy Healthcare, joins me on The Broker's Voice to break down the financial impact of Embedded Clinical Advocacy. We discuss why assigning a dedicated nurse to a specific client (not a random voice on a phone line) is the only way to drive the engagement necessary to redirect care and prevent catastrophic claims. This is the strategy for turning advocacy from a line item expense into a massive return on investment.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Agency leaders make a fatal assumption: that their million-dollar producers are self-sufficient. The reality is, these all-stars drive 80% of your revenue, and they're often the most neglected. They're a massive flight risk, not because they're unhappy, but because they're stuck.The strategies that got your top producers to their first million won't get them to the next level—they've hit a new plateau and need a new set of tools. In this episode, I'm giving you the new framework for supporting your best people. We get into why building their personal brand is the only strategy that matters for scaling, how to use platforms like LinkedIn to build their credibility, and why the agencies that "rent the brands of their producers" are the only ones who will win the future.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Why Your Top Producer Is About to Quit (00:00:47) The Fatal Flaw: Neglecting Your Top Producers (00:04:44) The 80/20 Problem: Your Revenue Is at Risk (00:05:31) The Scaling Solution: Building Their Personal Brand (00:14:09) The New Agency Model: Rent Their Brand, Not YoursCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

The fee-for-service model isn't just failing your clients; it's actively burning out the very doctors they're supposed to trust. My guest this week, Dr. John Van Der Veer, isn't just a critic of this broken model; he's a refugee from it. After hitting his own breaking point as a primary care doc and Chief Medical Officer, he built the alternative: a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. In this episode, Dr. Van Der Veer gives you a doctor's firsthand account of why the FFS system is designed to fail. We get into the new framework that DPC provides, how it actually aligns incentives to save your clients money, and how he's scaling it through a massive partnership with Hy-Vee. This is the proof you need to finally lead your clients away from the problem and toward the solution.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) A Doctor's Take On How Fee-For-Service Is Failing Your Clients (00:09:05) The DPC Fix: Realigning Incentives with Patient Care (00:09:24) The Gateway to Smarter, Cheaper Advanced Care (00:11:29) More Time, Better Outcomes: The DPC Patient Experience (00:24:01) Scaling the Solution: The Hy-Vee Partnership (00:32:22) The Engagement Strategy: Getting People to Actually Use DPC CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

The benefits market is flooded with solutions that promise innovation but deliver total chaos. They're built on "razor-thin margins" to chase top-line revenue, and the service inevitably collapses, leaving you, the broker, to clean up the mess and take the blame. It's a broken model that ruins your reputation.But what if you could offer a plan with the stability of a BUCA, the innovation of a tech company, and get a quote in 48 hours? My guest, Caleb Parker of Angle Health, joins me on The Broker's Voice to share his framework. We get into why Angle is built on an "AI-native" chassis to deliver precision underwriting, how they avoid the margin trap that kills other solutions, and why they can deliver a Jan 1st quote on Jan 10th. This is the game plan for finally having a stable, scalable alternative.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

The Seattle Seahawks cruised to a 38-14 victory over the Washington Commanders in front of a national audience on Sunday night. The gruesome injury late in the game to Jayden Daniels soured the win and we hope Ernest Jones and Josh Jobe come out of the game ok for our Seahawks. Sam Darnold was on point for Seattle and Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued to dominate, supported by a well-balanced offense orchestrated by Klint Kubiak. The defense stifled Washington's offense and controlled the game from start to finish. Mike Macdonald made the right call on defense with Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe getting the start and Nick Emmanwori demonstrating why he should never be on the bench. Without Cooper Kupp on the field, Tory Horton hauled in a couple touchdowns to make his case for future WR2 on the team and Cody White jumped up from the practice squad to add a long touchdown of his own.

The American way of selling is a high-stress, quantity-obsessed grind. We're taught to chase more prospects, make more calls, and just do more: a relentless chase that inevitably leads to burnout. But what if the real path to scaling your business was built on a foundation of "less, but better"?I just got back from Italy, where the entire culture is a powerful reminder that there's a different way to live and work. In this episode, I'm sharing the "Italian Approach to Sales" - a game plan for growing your book with a lot less stress. We get into the three lessons I learned: the artisan's power of consistency, the focus on quality over quantity (in both food and clients), and the genius of simplifying your process with modern tools. This is the strategy for achieving more success, not by doing more, but by being more effective.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) The Italian Approach to Sales: Less Stress, More Success (00:05:33) Lesson 1: The Artisan's Consistency (Your Pipeline Game Plan) (00:10:24) Lesson 2: Quality Over Quantity (The Food & Client Formula) (00:13:51) Lesson 3: The Secret to Less Stress (Simplifying Your Process)CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

World Series Recap Games One and TwoLos Angeles Dodgers (93-69) @ Toronto Blue Jays (94-68)The Fall Classic has begun in Canada, with the Blue Jays hosting the Dodgers for the first two games of the World Series. With George Springer's epic homer in Game Seven against Seattle, Toronto captured its first AL Pennant in 32 years. Vlad Guerrero, Jr. took home ALCS MVP honors, while Alejandro Kirk and Ernie Clement racked up a ton of hits throughout the series. There is no let up in manager John Schneider's lineup. And they should see an additional boost, as star infielder Bo Bichette returns to the team after missing thprevious two rounds with an injury. The Dodgers look to defend their World Series crown as they rolled through the NLCS against Milwaukee, thanks in large part to their outstanding starting pitching. Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Shohei Ohtani combined for 28.2 innings, 35 strike outs, just nine hits, six walks, and two runs allowed across four games. The task will be much greater against this deep Toronto offense, and if the starters aren't as effective, Dave Roberts will be forced to turn to a much maligned bullpen (which will be without their best lefty, Alex Vesia, due to an unfortunate family emergency.) Shohei Ohtani has appeared to break out of his postseason slump with a 3 homer day in game four (not to mention six shutout innings and ten strikeouts on the mound!). The rest of the offense has done enough to get by, but they'll likely need more from the likes of Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Max Muncy, and the “Brothers Hernández”.In Game One, the youngster Trey Yesavage will take on Blake Snell. Yesavage is making just his seventh career start (and 4th of the postseason), and he's the second youngest to ever get a game one start (Ralph Branca for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947!). Blake Snell has been absolutely dominant, but he relies on hitters to chase outside the zone, which these Blue Jays avoid better than anyone.For Game Two, expect a lot of splitters as Kevin Gausman and Yoshinobu Yamamoto face off. Gausman has been the Blue Jays best pitcher in these playoffs so far, but it will be tough to match the Japanese star. With the first complete game in the playoffs since 2017, Yamamoto looks to have the first complete game in the World Series in a decade, and he would the first with consecutive complete games since 2004. Tune in for what should be an excellent series!Toronto Radio SN590 - Ben Shulman and Chris LerouxLos Angeles Radio AM570 - Stephen Nelson and Rick MondayAudio clips from MLB.tvAs always, thank you to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, box scores, background information, and much, much more.Catch you next time,P.C.O.

Most independent agencies lack a compelling story, have no true specialization, and fight to be seen as anything more than a commodity that can be replaced by a cheaper quote.

For decades, the insurance industry's default answer to every growth problem is to "hire more people." Need more sales? Hire a producer.
