Nick shares his personal journey from struggling producer to building a world-class BOR model that flips the traditional system upside down. He exposes why quoting hurts your clients (and your bottom line), how BOR truly empowers both the broker and the client, and why niche specialization is the ultimate competitive weapon in today’s market.

This isn’t theory — it’s battle-tested strategy from the trenches. If you want to stop playing the game everyone else is losing, you need this conversation.

✅ Why quoting actually destroys your control — and how the BOR fixes it
