In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Jason Cass, Owner of Agency Intelligence and managing partner at The Insurance Alliance. Jason explains the differences between IndieTech and InsurTech and how the technology can help independent insurance agents. Jason also discusses IndieTech 2023 and how it will be an experience for independent insurance agents and technology like none other.

  • Jason highlights several things they’re doing at IndieTech 2023 to benefit both attendees and vendors. (16:07)

  • 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
