In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers sits down with Steve Bruder from Foxen to discuss how Foxen integrates renters’ insurance compliance and risk management solutions into property management. The conversation highlights how property managers can use Foxen’s system to ensure compliance with insurance requirements, prevent gaps in coverage, and generate ancillary income through revenue sharing. Steve provides insights into how Foxen’s innovative approach addresses the often-overlooked problem of tenants canceling insurance policies, which can leave property owners vulnerable to costly claims. This episode emphasizes how commercial insurance agents can leverage Foxen’s solutions to differentiate themselves in the habitational real estate space, improve client retention, and enhance the value they offer to clients managing larger property schedules.
Foxen ensures consistent renters insurance compliance, protecting landlords from uninsured claims—an issue their founders faced firsthand.
Foxen helps agents differentiate by providing a revenue-sharing model for property managers, making renewals easier and adding value beyond insurance.

Influence is one of the most powerful tools we have in business, leadership, and personal life. Used well, it inspires people, builds trust, and creates ethical results. Used poorly, it can slide into manipulation and self-interest.
Reinvention is one of the most powerful themes in the insurance industry. Some of the best commercial producers in the country did not grow up wanting to sell insurance. They did not study risk management in college. They did not come from an agency family. They found this industry after they tried something else. They found it after life pushed them toward a career where performance, autonomy, and mindset determine the outcome.
The most successful producers in the middle market did not get there because they quoted faster, smiled bigger, or knew how to talk longer. They got there because they learned how to differentiate themselves so clearly that prospects had no choice but to see them as trusted advisors. They learned to operate like businesspeople first and insurance technicians second. They learned how to tie operational mechanics to insurance outcomes. They learned how to control their time, their pipeline, and their future.
In commercial insurance, the most dangerous threats to your book of business aren’t always visible on the loss runs. One of the most overlooked vulnerabilities for middle market producers is ignoring the personal lines needs of their business owner and executive clients.
The commercial insurance industry is one of the few professions where someone can enter with no experience, no connections, and no background in risk management and still build a long, lucrative career. But success is never automatic. It requires hunger, humility, curiosity, and the willingness to keep showing up even when the process feels overwhelming. That is why the story of Pam Seidler has already started making waves among new and aspiring commercial producers.
In an industry where tradition often outweighs innovation, artificial intelligence and automation are slowly but steadily reshaping how independent insurance agencies operate. The push toward smarter, more efficient workflows is no longer a matter of if—but when. While many agencies are still evaluating how AI fits into their operations, early adopters are already reaping the benefits of streamlined submissions, faster processing, and actionable data insights.
