What if the best insurance agents weren't focused on selling policies but on building a legacy?
🎙️ In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, David Denning sits down with Duane Brown, a life insurance professional with Symmetry Financial Group, to discuss how purpose-driven selling creates stronger client relationships, more referrals, and a business built to last.
After the unexpected loss of his twin brother, Duane completely changed the way he approaches insurance. Instead of chasing commissions, he now focuses on helping families prepare for life's biggest uncertainties through trust, education, and meaningful conversations.
Along the way, he shares how authentic relationship-building, social media, and AI can help agents grow without losing the human connection that matters most.
