  • Jason believes that no matter how great you are, no matter how much you learn a language, people will still butcher it. (33:03)

Tweetable Quotes:

  • “90% of the technology that they use is IndieTech. It’s not InsurTech. It’s a technology that is built specifically for the independent insurance agent, not for the captives, not for the banking industry, for independent insurance agents.” – Jason Cass
  • “I’m trying to create an experience for the attendee, and for the vendor, so that it kind of puts it all together rather than everybody just walking around wondering what they’re doing. So that’s a couple of things that we’re doing differently.” – Jason Cass
  • “Let me tell you this, when you put AI inside the browser, listen to this, this is so important to the listeners…you eliminate the need for APIs and integrations because the AI can do whatever the company is not already set up to do.” – Jason Cass

They found it after life pushed them toward a career where performance, autonomy, and mindset determine the outcome.

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.

Coaching, Competition, and Consolidation: Inside the Protege Mindset That’s Reshaping the Future of Insurance Producers

December 17, 2025

The commercial insurance industry is changing faster than ever—and not always for the better. Consolidation is accelerating. Service levels are declining. Private equity is pushing agencies to scale in ways that strip out the personal touch that once defined the independent channel.
