  • Stop Replacing People and Start Developing Them with Ashley Napier

    Stop Replacing People and Start Developing Them with Ashley Napier
    2026/09/02
    In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers is joined by Ashley Napier of Solomon for a conversation about recruiting, developing, and retaining talent in an insurance industry increasingly obsessed with artificial intelligence. Ashley explains that development cannot stop after hiring. Agencies need intentional onboarding, clearly defined expectations, and a progression where leaders demonstrate the work, perform it alongside the employee, allow the employee to take the lead with assistance, and eventually step back and observe. David and Ashley challenge the idea that AI should automatically replace employees who struggle in certain areas. Instead, leaders should identify what people do exceptionally well and use technology to strengthen their weaknesses. AI should assist people rather than become the entire agency strategy. David also warns that agencies can become so consumed with the latest AI tools that they overlook foundational technology such as CRMs, processes, data collection, and training. The conversation then moves directly into producer development. David shares his own experience of having to reset the training process with a producer after realizing that both of them had drifted away from the established framework. The lesson: having a process isn't enough—you have to execute it and hold people accountable to it. They also discuss the value of immediate post-appointment coaching. David credits the "curbside chats" he received early in his insurance career—immediate conversations about what worked, what didn't, and what needed to change—with accelerating his development as a producer. Finally, David translates leadership development into a middle-market sales strategy by explaining the Stop, Start, Continue exercise. Producers can anonymously gather feedback from a client's employees to uncover operational problems contributing to workers' compensation, commercial auto, and general liability losses.

  • Stop Recruiting Producers. Start Building the Right Culture with Matt Kistler

    Stop Recruiting Producers. Start Building the Right Culture with Matt Kistler
    2026/08/26
    In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and Matt Kistler of ForgePoint Growth Partners discuss how agencies can recruit, develop, and retain high-performing producers. They explore David’s strategy of recruiting proven B2B salespeople from outside insurance, the importance of intentionally building agency culture, and Matt’s “blueberry” philosophy of identifying and replicating successful producer behaviors. The conversation also tackles accountability for veteran producers, transferring knowledge to the next generation, and looking beyond compensation when attracting talent. Ultimately, David and Matt emphasize that successful agencies must build a culture where great producers can succeed, feel supported, and have a reason to stay.

  • Premium Is for Show, Revenue Is the Dough: Building a Data-Driven Insurance Agency with James Geyer

    Premium Is for Show, Revenue Is the Dough: Building a Data-Driven Insurance Agency with James Geyer
    2026/08/19
    David Carothers sits down with James Geyer, co-founder of AccountAim, for a conversation about one of the insurance industry's most underutilized assets: data. The discussion explores why agencies need to build the right foundation before chasing AI,automation, and the latest technology. David and James explain how clean data, defined processes, meaningful metrics, and consistent reporting can help agency owners make smarter decisions about production, cross-selling, marketing, staffing, profitability , andultimately agency valuation. David shares lessons from both his insurance agency and his earlier career in the grocery industry to illustrate how real- time data allows leaders to make faster, more intelligent decisions. The conversation also examines how agencies can identify profitable niches, improve workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and use AI without sacrificing the human relationships that remain critical to insurance. The takeaway is simple: agencies already possess enormous amounts of valuable data. The winners will be the agencies that organize it, understand it, and turn it into action Connect with: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David Carothers LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠James Geyer Linkedin ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit Websites: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Killing Commercial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Crushing Content⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Power Producers Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Policytee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Dirty 130⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Extra 2 Minute⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
