Key Quotes:

“If it was as easy as putting it in a box and just saying, hey, do this do that, we’d all be successful insurance agencies. So, watching them figure it out and kind of having that curiosity of figuring out what works for them is the best part of my job.” – Jack Hertvik
“You always need to be thinking about how your replacement is going to handle it, not necessarily because you’re going to be gone. But, because you might advance or you might have somebody else that needs to do that job. You have to be thinking about that stuff in the future.” – Jack Hertvik
“I think that empowerment thing that Jack mentioned, is very important. And I think that’s huge, especially in like, smaller agencies it’s probably even more important. Because if you have that embedded in your culture from the beginning, it’s just, it’s huge.” – Andrew Ryan
