The Modern Insurance Agent

• Leveraging social media (with JSG playbooks) as a recruiting engine
• Using AI dashboards to monitor team recruiting activity in real time and adjust quickly
• Building a values-driven, 1099 community of agents who help more families and each other
• Unique river-guide → advisor approach: trust, calm, and clear direction through uncertainty
   Stances/Hot Takes:
• Human connection > automation (charisma and real skills will be rare & valuable)
• 1099 path creates freedom, upside, and ownership vs. W-2 ceilings
   Great Topics to Tap:
• Social recruiting funnels (messaging → screening → interviews)
• AI as a coach’s HUD (what he’s tracking daily/weekly)
• Translating guiding a raft to guiding buyers/career-changers

Our philosophy is that when it comes to financial decisions, Never say Never. Never say Always. It Depends!

I help Christian Realtors build profitable, referral-based businesses that honor God, serve people with excellence, and create more time for what matters most—without cold calling or door knocking.

When I started in real estate, it took 5+ months to sell my first home. I was told selling 50 homes a year by referral while working under 40 hours a week wasn’t possible.

They were wrong.

10+ years later, I’ve sold 650+ homes and $250M in volume—all by relationship. No burnout. No hustle culture. Just simple, intentional systems.

Now I help other Christian agents redefine success, win at work, and thrive at home.

Let me coach you how to take care of your CLIENT with multiple products and they will be YOUR client for LIFE!

If you have yourself or a team of 100 +, we can set up a training that will help you improve your revenues instantly.

Affordable to Platinum level health benefits and protection for Individuals, Families, Self-Employed.
