The Insurance Chatter with Reghan Brandt

🌟Let's get to it.

Today I am so excited to sit down with Dr. Billy R Williams today. He’s a true genius, mentor, investor and leader in the insurance industry. 🔥 We are grateful for his military service and when he was getting ready to retire from the military in 1999; 💯he knew he was ready to dive into his true entrepreneurial spirit and make his family generational wealth. 💪 Listen to him share how he did not “land” in insurance but chose it because he knew insurance drives the entire economy and is SO important to our entire financial model.

He is the CEO of the Williams Family Investment Group,💵 a group of more than 160 partner insurance agencies that produce almost a billion dollars a year in new and renewal insurance premiums. 🏆He is also the founder and president of Inspire a Nation Business Mentoring Services, 📱America’s best insurance agent and Small Business coaching and mentoring company.

LRP, The Loss Run Pro is so honored to be sponsoring his 📍 “Fix My Insurance Agency Process Implementation Workshop” next week that is teaching every agent how to Build a $10 Million Revenue Insurance Agency- 💻 if you have not registered check out this podcast and go register!

Today's guest is Jeremy Gluck, president of AEGIS General Insurance Agency 🏡 where he manages nearly $200 Million of annual affordable housing premium. Jeremy Gluck 🎓 graduated from Western Colorado University and at the last minute pivoted from ski bum ⛷ to the reinsurance industry.
He was fortunate enough to start his career 💼 under Rod Fox (founder of TigerRisk Partners🦊) and credits Rod with instilling a winning attitude, grinding harder than anyone else, and above all advocating and putting your customers first.🥇
Jeremy Gluck is refreshing to talk to because he genuinely loves this insurance business and stated 💯"This is an industry that if you work hard and you care about your partners and your customers, you're going to do really well financially 💵. It's not the geeky old insurance of yesteryear, this is a real deal business and there are a lot of people making significant amounts of money." 👀

Chris Senskible is no stranger to success 💯. He is one of the top talents to come out of the Silicon Prairie, and today I could not be more excited to share his story🏰.
Chris is a man who knows his purpose, and he's not afraid to pursue it with everything that he has. He is a competitor who lives for the thrill of competition—whether it's on the football field 🏈(glory days at University of Nebraska at Kearney) or in business, he's always going hard.
About a decade ago, Chris would take his work stress out on the basketball court and found out his pick up ball team🏀 was a group of top notch producers an Unico. The quickly filled him in on the industry and Chris was all in on Insurance.
Chris is a great communicator 🎥with a laser focus on detail. He is an excellent advocate for both his clients and colleagues alike—you'll often hear him say that "it's all about the people." 💪 As he was winning middle market clients he knew there had to be a better way to reduce the work load on his customers and enhance their customer experience....he knew the status quo could continue but that is not in his DNA - he had to give his customers the best. 🙌 This led him to found Ferro - 📝 Ferro was born to speed up renewals by 75% by giving producers and policy holders a single source of truth for schedules and other policy-related information 💵so they could actually ENJOY the insurance process!
Follow his journey and listen to what he has to say- this man is on fire🥊!
