  • From Submission Bottlenecks to Scalable Growth with Toby Hung

    From Submission Bottlenecks to Scalable Growth with Toby Hung
    2025/11/05
    In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers sits down with Toby Hung, co-founder and COO of 1Fort, to discuss the practical application of AI in commercial insurance agencies. Toby shares his background on both the carrier and tech sides, explaining why he co-founded 1Fort to bridge the gap between insurance and technology. The conversation centers on how AI can automate the most time-consuming, non-revenue-generating tasks—like the submission-to-bind process—allowing agencies to 10x their revenue without 10x their headcount. They also explore why AI is the "great equalizer" for small and mid-sized agencies. Key Highlights: The All-in-One AI Solution Toby Hung addresses the frustration agents feel after buying multiple "point solutions" that overpromise and under-deliver. He details 1Fort's all-in-one approach, which uses AI to automate the entire commercial submission process—from extracting data and entering it into carrier portals to generating high-quality, white-labeled client proposals, coverage comparisons, and marketing summaries. AI as the "Great Equalizer" The conversation highlights how AI levels the playing field, enabling small and mid-sized agencies to compete directly with 100-pound gorillas. By using AI, smaller, hungrier agencies can achieve the same level of output, accuracy, and speed as their largest competitors, who are often backed by massive resources. Solving Agency Turnover and Burnout Toby explains that AI is a powerful tool for employee retention. By automating the manual, repetitive tasks that lead to burnout (like spending nine hours a week on submissions), agencies can empower their staff to do more meaningful, high-value work. It also helps attract younger talent (Gen Z, millennials) who expect modern technology in the workplace. Bridging the Tech and Insurance Gap Coming from both the carrier side at AIA and working in big tech, Toby explains that insurance people and tech people often "don't speak the same language." 1Fort was built with agency feedback to be an accessible tool that integrates directly into existing workflows, rather than being another complex piece of software that requires hours of training.

  • Becoming the Protege with Joe Hollier

    Becoming the Protege with Joe Hollier
    2025/10/31
    In this second episode of the "Becoming the Protégé" series on Power Producers Shop Talk, host David Carothers sits down with Protégé Season 3 contestant Joe Hollier, also known as "Mr. Hotel." Joe, a 20-year industry veteran, shares why he's joining the competition to accelerate his full transition into the commercial insurance space. The conversation covers his deep background in the hospitality industry, his niche focus on boutique and luxury hotels, and how he's building a brand focused on service over sales and improving hospitality culture to differentiate himself. Key Highlights: Why a 20-Year Veteran Joined the Protégé Joe Hollier explains that after 17 years primarily in personal lines, he made the full commitment to "kill commercial." He joined The Protégé to 10x his growth, gain new perspectives from top coaches, and be held accountable by industry professionals as he builds his hospitality and hotel niche. A Call for Industry Diversity & Ciara's Journey The episode opens with a candid discussion about the disappointing lack of female and minority applicants for Season 3. David and Joe champion the need for more diversity to combat the industry's "pale, male, and stale" image, using Ciara Gravier's personal and professional transformation as a powerful case study for how mentorship can build a "powerhouse" producer. Lessons from the Hospitality Trenches Joe shares how his extensive background in restaurants—from cooking school and the kitchen to bartending and management—provided invaluable lessons in human relationships. He explains how the high-stress hospitality world taught him how to read people, handle conflict, and connect with clients on a genuine level, skills that translate directly to sales. Building a Niche: Service Over Sales Joe details the challenges of the hotel niche, from price-shoppers in the economy tier to the difficulty of finding decision-makers. He explains his strategic pivot to move beyond being a "quoter" and instead offer a value proposition built on service over sales, improving hospitality culture, risk expertise, and storytelling.

  • Reclaiming Purpose in a Distracted World with Tania Khazaal

    Reclaiming Purpose in a Distracted World with Tania Khazaal
    2025/10/29
    In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck welcome Tania the Herbalist, a former top insurance salesperson turned holistic life advisor. Tania shares her journey from corporate burnout to helping people become the "CEO of their life" by finding purpose and balance across health, career, and relationships. The conversation delves into the scarcity mindset around time and energy, the societal programming that hinders women's confidence in the workplace, the detrimental effects of the "cutoff culture," and the importance of holistic independence from broken systems. Key Highlights: Becoming the CEO of Your Life Tania explains her core philosophy: you can have it all—a fulfilling career, vibrant health, strong relationships, and time for family—without compromise. She discusses tackling the common scarcity mindset around time and energy through practical audits, revealing that prioritizing even small daily actions can lead to significant life improvements. The Confidence Gap & External Validation Drawing on her insurance background, Tania addresses why women may feel held back or lack confidence in corporate settings. She argues it stems from deep societal programming emphasizing external validation over internal self-worth, exacerbated by social media, which statistically makes women less likely to speak up or pursue leadership roles. Escaping the Matrix: Holistic Independence Tania shares her perspective on achieving true independence by breaking free from reliance on potentially flawed systems (corporate, medical, governmental). This involves pursuing financial freedom, regaining bodily autonomy through holistic health practices (linking to her herbalist roots), and cultivating emotional resilience. Critiquing the "Cutoff Culture" & Distractions The conversation explores the modern phenomenon of estrangement (the "cutoff culture") and pervasive societal distractions. Tania traces its roots to person-centered therapy and pop psychology, arguing it hinders conflict resolution skills and distracts people from their purpose and building meaningful connections.
