    This is a raw, real conversation about leadership, pressure, mental resilience, and what actually creates momentum when things aren’t perfect.

    What’s in this episode:
    If you want consistent life insurance production, this episode shows you how to build it on purpose.

    This highlight breaks down how one producer submitted 52 life insurance applications in 5 months—not by grinding harder, but by installing time blocks, role play, and intentional daily activity. This is the same system behind the 30 in 5 Challenge, where agencies write more life in one week than most do all year.

    [00:00] Why consistent activity always beats motivation
    [01:00] 52 life apps in 5 months — breaking down the math
    [02:30] Momentum matters: small wins that restart production
    [03:15] Time blocking explained (and why most agents avoid it)
    [05:30] How time blocks eliminate procrastination
    [06:45] Role play: the confidence multiplier agents resist
    [08:15] How feedback sharpens conversations and closes more apps
    [10:00] The real reason agents stay inconsistent
    [11:30] When outbound life calls actually get done
    [13:00] Who to call: homeowners, renters, and 50–65 markets
    [15:00] What to say so you’re not “pitching” life insurance
    [17:00] Turning service and P&C conversations into life apps
    [19:00] Why 30 in 5 works (and why agents repeat it)

    Want to see how this actually works inside an agency?
    Live demo + Q&A here 👉 Save My Seat

    Watch the full episode on YouTube: HERE

    What’s in this episode:
    Most agencies believe growth requires more managers, more oversight, and more payroll. Steven and Lindsay Mills prove that assumption wrong. In this episode, they share how they’ve scaled a multi-location agency by building clear roles, strong processes, and real accountability—without adding middle management, slowing production, or burning out as owners.

    If you’re trying to grow in 2026 without burning out or bloating payroll, this episode is for you.

    [00:00] Why they chose to scale without adding managers
    [02:30] The early husband-wife challenges (and how they defined roles)
    [06:30] The 5-year planning exercise that changed everything
    [10:00] Why people + processes always beat talent alone
    [14:00] The mistake most agencies make when hiring managers
    [16:30] How AI replaces micromanagement and call monitoring
    [18:00] Using AI to ramp producers faster (and better)
    [21:30] Why role-play is critical—and how AI finally makes it consistent
    [25:00] Producer resistance, buy-in, and real feedback from the team
    [29:00] Scaling locations without losing culture or quality
    [32:00] Recruiting obsessed talent (not “job seekers”)
    [37:00] Why younger producers demand development paths
    [41:00] Final advice on building a scalable agency for 2026

  • 415. HIGHLIGHT: The Exact WHO (Not How) You Need to Scale Your Agency in 2026
    Jan 1 2026

    This episode made one thing clear: top agencies don’t scale solo.

    This episode breaks down the WHO you need to scale in 2026.
    Once you have the right people in place, the fastest way to lose momentum is trying to build training from scratch. Let us help. 👉 Book your call: Let’s Talk

    Watch the full episode on YouTube: HERE

    What’s in this episode:
    This is the first highlight episode heading into 2026, and it sets the tone for what actually drives scalable agency growth — WHO you surround yourself with, not another tactic or tool.

    If you’re serious about longevity, production, and leadership endurance in 2026, this episode is a wake-up call.

    [04:30] Third-party validation and why your team hears it differently
    [05:30] The second non-negotiable: outsourcing recruiting
    [07:00] Why most agents hate recruiting (and what to do instead)
    [08:30] Training future agency owners without fear
    [10:00] Determination: the one trait you cannot teach
    [11:30] Staffing mistakes that cost quarters — not weeks
    [13:00] Why you should always be hiring (even when fully staffed)
    [15:00] Mentorship gaps and how to solve them fast
    [17:00] “Who has already solved this?” — the scaling shortcut
    [18:30] Final takeaway: stop doing it alone in 2026
