In this episode of the Agency Intelligence podcast, guest host Mitch Gibson interviews Ben Zimmer, CRIS, CAWC, the Founder, and CEO of Ethos Insurance & Risk Management. Ben talks about his approach in the insurance industry and why hustling has been his passion. Episode Highlights: What has attributed to Ben’s success, skill or luck? (9:08) Ben mentions why the independent insurance agent is the greatest connector there is. (14:49) Ben shares the real agent experience and explains what the word hustle entails. (19:35) Ben mentions why hustle is a passion. (20:02) Does Ben feel that being a collegiate athlete has given him an avenue and a platform (23:36) Ben shares the biggest difference in separation between him and the competitors in his community. (25:50) Key Quotes: “Ultimately, it's about adding value. I don't want to miss out on an opportunity because I wasn't prepared and I think that just comes from a lot of mistakes. I would say hard work more than luck just because I guess I've been lucky to be surrounded by mentors.” - Ben Zimmer “I continue to develop relationships because of insurance, people have to have it and it's so fun. All I gotta do is go be a good person and give back to my community.” - Ben Zimmer “Every opportunity and every day someone else adds energy to you. Hustle to me is energy and time well spent.” - Ben Zimmer Resources Mentioned: Agency Intelligence Reach out to Mitch Gibson Ben Zimmer LinkedIn Ethos Insurance & Risk Management

What does Ben think about the team moving forward in a tough division? Also, a look at this weekend's Winter Warm Up. Does Ben expect any news to come out of it? Maybe Molina?

We open the doors of perception and step into the 1960s this week as we review the Oliver Stone film “The Doors” (1991) and the Mike Nichols film “The Graduate.” (1967)  Will Jim and Ben ever figure out what to do with their lives?  Can Matt get over his feelings about the female lead of “The Doors” and still enjoy this exploration of one of our favorite bands from the 60s?  Does Ben even know Mrs. Robinson’s first name?  Will Ben get the girl?  He certainly tries.   Today, December 8th, would have been Jim Morrison’s 77th birthday.  The world has been without this legend almost 50 years.   WARNING - The Podcats are very talkative this entire episode.  They took a few hits of catnip to have the full Jim Morrison experience.   #thedoors #thegraduate #moviepodcast #siblings #jimmorrison #benjaminbraddock #mrsrobinson #dustinhoffman #valkilmer #oliverstone #mikenichols #annebancroft #katharineross #megryan #the60s #simonandgarfunkel #lightmyfire #touchme #lovehermadly #breakonthrough #lloyddobbler #sayanything #ucberkeley #plastics #mrgladstone

Today on the Toy Power Podcast, it’s a bit of everything as we check in on the team to see how are they managing the beast that is 2020. Where are we at with collecting? Trent in particular makes a big call about his future in the hobby – it sparks a great conversation about the psychology, trails and tribulations of this crazy world we love. And for it all, there is about 3 seconds of respect? Sheesh, tough room… With all these re-releases of our fave properties, do we all just end up with a room of the same stuff? Can ones toy room ever be TOO full? Does Ben have a DinoRiders problem and how long exactly has Darren been stalking Frank… Then it’s some Reading Watching Playing where the game is not the present – the TIME to play it is! Ben tries to get us addicted to Monster Energy drinks while Trent produces a new sound effect that might just be as famous as the BOOONG! Next up is Would You Rather with a bevy of tough choices. How many Transformers does Darren have (just wait, he’ll tell you!)? Did Ben see a man floating down the street? And Frank annoys everyone with an annoying question about annoying sidekicks….

It can be tough at the top for many clinical directors but does being in the role as a nurse offer an alternative perspective? Do the challenges differ or are there additional benefits to coming to the role from a slightly different background?

Bus Go VROOOM!!!!! The classic action movie SPEED! Ben seriously hasn't seen it yet, UNTIL NOW!! Sure, he has seen Keanu Reeves face on the cover of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS VHS tapes, but he has never once popped it into the VHS player... (do people still use those?) Does Ben like it? Mike makes sure he is emerged in goodness that is SPEED!

Seamus and Ben are joined by Young Democrats of Wisconsin President Charles Meyers. The most importamt question to be raised: which Harry Potter caracters are which American political figures? Also, in no particular order: has anyone invented a meat smoothie and is that the origin or the Slim Jim? Does Ben look like a Republican? What is Charles really growing in his basement. But, most importantly, if Seamus and Ben are able to raise $200 by next week, Seamus will cut his hair into a fauxhawk (Venmo: @Seamus_Campbell).

Everyone's taking a financial haircut with the coronavirus situation but, this morning, we take a few minutes to talk actual haircuts. Grooming tips aside, we happily discuss the latest negative decision the Rams are dealing with in regards to leaving St. Louis. We hear Ben Fred's take on why, how and when the city could see the suit reach an end. Whether settling or seeing it through to court, what does Ben see happening? We get details on what Kevin Demoff might have come out in the news about the relocation. If we don't see college football this fall, what does Ben Fred think happens to the sport in general? Will NCAA see a significant dent; enough to make changes? Some tough conversations about financial decisions may be looming. Unnecessary facility upgrades, coaches salaries and irresponsible spending could be under the microscope soon. What about having sports in college without fans? Does Ben think it's possible? Again, the TV contracts come into play. The NHL is taking a look into having neutral locations to return to play. Hockey's plan could have a higher chance of player approval though because there are such few games left. Free agents and those looking for new contracts likely want these games more than others so the salary cap gets some kind of increase. Ben says it's ok to talk and plan but the same issues apply... what happens if someone contracts the virus? We revisit Alex Pietrangelo's potential contract too. Listen here:

Gravel bikes have gone soft! By which of course we mean suspension has become a stable in some form or another on most gravel bikes.

And Cavallari chats with Zack Vestal from Niner Bikes to get deeper into the design considerations behind the MCR (Magic Carpet Ride), the first full-suspension gravel bike to hit the market.

Drop your buffs and join Brianna and Jen's tribe as they breakdown the second episode of Survivor Winners at War. Does Ben even understand the concept of the game? Is it possible for Denise to make worse choices in alliance partners? Was Tony punking all of us with that ladder, and do he and Sarah really think Cops R Us will work? Have some of the contestants suffered traumatic brain injuries since their wins or are they just that stupid? All this and more, including awarding their fire-token-worthy and torch-snuffing moments of the week! Join them on Tuesdays for a memory refresher and some laughs before each new episode.

Evans & Mondy are back to bring you news and views from across planet shred, although mainly focused on their own narrow, blinkered versions of the universe and their online echo chambers. After Margaret's CT events wrapping up and John and Steph in Jeep Yellow Jerseys, the lads ask, should we just call the year off now? Meanwhile, a new campaign in underfoot to #SendSlaterToCoventry. Remember when the UK media weren't allowed to broadcast Gerry Adams' voice? Paul advocates similar measures for Slater. Elsewhere, the big questions are dealt with: Does Ben really like Women's surfing, or is it just in it for the WSL day rate? Should you ask folk you don't really know or particularly like/trust 'So, been surfing?' What does the Book of Exodus have to say about daughters? What's Nigel Slater's new cookery series on the Middle East like? DCI Evans and Constable Mondy return with a charge sheet bigger and more star studded than Brian Cox's recent revelations about the size of the observable universe, as the Social Media Police feel collars belonging to Defay, Igarashi, the Keramas ducks, Bob Hurley, Strider & Kingy.

This is the unique story and music of the original Special Air Service (SAS) rock band, ‘The Externals'.   MUSIC REVIEW “Do not ever, ever, ever go see this band unless your IQ is lower than the entrance price'-  David Coggin's music review on The Externals    DISCLAIMER We recommend disengagement of brain prior to listening. Just sit back and enjoy the ripping yarn and great music of The Externals.    CAUTION Numerous references to beer and rock and roll.   WARNING May insult those who like to wear cardigans and/ or listen to pop music.     The Story (So Far)……..  Formed in 1991, The Externals were full time SAS soldiers who used the band as an outlet from their high pressure work in the SAS. The idea for the band was born during a SAS interrogation course and the band grew to playing most major Australian festivals, opening to iconic Australian bands and also being profiled on Triple J Unearthed. Over time they realised, that The Externals were more than that- they became part of the rich tapestry of the SAS. Assisting during times of tragedy, including the mass fatality event of the Blackhawk disaster in 1996. They have inspired SAS operators preparing for dangerous tasks and missions.  The band played regularly at the Hotel with many sold out performances to manic crowds of beer and sweat drenched surfers and soldiers in search of the 'four on the floor' style guitar charged rock music the band passionately played. The Externals still hold the record attendance numbers for a local Perth Band's record release to this date.    Show Notes -1:20 : Inspired by their SAS interrogation course – How to start a rock band! - 06:00: Shaky starts -  07:40 : Ben's story about ‘I Don't Believe It'….

TJ Stephens and Matt Christy stop by to play some fun movie games that Brad came up with...Does Ben pull off the win in the IMDB game by jumping in WAY too early as always?

Listen up!

Well it was bound to happen. Does Ben's bloodlust know no bounds! All it takes is one failed spot check and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down...

The aftermath of Maddy's murder and the reveal of Laura's killer leads us into the realm of dramatic irony for the first time in Twin Peaks! Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman get closer to figuring out the truth the audience already knows—that Ben Horne did not kill Laura—and Cooper gets reacquainted with his intuition, much to the Sheriff's consternation; meanwhile, Bobby dabbles in blackmail, and Norma gets a surprise visitor at the Double R. Also! Does Ben need a new lawyer? How hard is it to keep the One Armed Man from escaping? And where does one go in a town like Twin Peaks for good, quality showtunes? (Apparently, all you need is a car and a set of golf clubs...) We may as well call this The Jerry Show since so many of our clips selected for this week's episode feature his classic deadpan humour, but after the darkness of last week's episodes, we were just so glad for Jerry Horne we couldn't resist! Notes: 'Fahrt' translates to 'Journey', according to good ol' Google Translate. And now that we think about it, maybe farting (in English) is kind of like a journey...

They produced 60-second PSAs profiling various Canadian wildlife. Ask any Canadian who grew up into the early 1990s and they'll remember HWW. Here's the entry on the loon The meaning of Hank's domino has never "officially" been stated as far as I can tell...but Chris Mulkey claims it was meant to be another instance of doubles (the two 3's equaling 6 total on the domino) while others claim it may be linked to the number of people he's killed. The blog Twin Peaks Explained states that the change in the numbers on his domino wasn't on purpose but was simply an error, owing to the fact that the original domino was lost during production and another was substituted.

A weekly chat tackling the issue of educational technology from both sides. Ben Rimes, a former teacher turned educational technologist, chats with Pete Poggione, an Information Technology Professional from the private sector turned School IT Director.This week we focused entirely on questions from our school district, including some seriously geeky responses from Pete about RAM, cache, and how to best avoid the "beachball of death". We even make a recommendation for Memory Clean, a Mac App that will help you regain some "snap" in your Mac's step. Once Ben gets Pete back on track we attempt to tackle some big questions about the direction of technology in our school district, and Pete is completely stumped by a musical trivia question about the Beatles.Timestamps for this week's questions:1:30 What has Pete been doing at his big conference?2:03 So this conference you were at is seriously techie?4:30 Any tips for people to get their Macs to run faster?5:28 For non techies, what does Cache or RAM stand for?5:58 Does Ben’s desktop analogy work for understanding RAM?7:50 What can teachers do to help free up space in RAM?13:20 Did we really just spend six minutes being geeks about RAM, hard drives, and caches?14:00 How does Pete see his job changing when our bond passes next month?16:30 What’s your big picture for technology in Mattawan Schools?20:06 What is the only Beatles’ song that none of the four band members play instruments on?21:05 Ben questions whether Pete can really call himself a musicianYou can talk about the show or continue the conversations on Twitter using the hashtag #TechDirectorChat or chatting up Ben (@techsavvyed) or Pete (@ppoggione) on Twitter.

The dog days are here. To help get through them, we welcome Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News on to our little radio program this week to help wade through the mess that was the Simon Gagne trade. Paul Holmgren has made a bit of a mess of our team in the last few weeks, and Frank joins the show to help us figure out exactly what the general manager has up his sleeve. Will the Flyers chase a goalie, perhaps one who's name begins with Marty and ends with Turco? Will they be after another winger? mikefive also joins the program and we play a rousing match of trivia. Does Ben finally go down in defeat? Find out by listening to this week's episode. We've hit the quarter-pole!
