  • Key Quotes:

    • “To all my captive friends, independent friends, if you haven't done the captive world, then do the captive world. If you want to stick in the personal lines, or even commercial, man, like, it's so, so awesome to learn how to sell value, man. If you know how to sell value, then you come on this side on the independent channel, you're going to take off.” - Cyrus Jaffery
    • “The four buckets that I was telling you about, that third bucket, which is the business piece of it, I'm super competitive, all that stuff is good, but I just didn't wake up excited about it. And I don't know what it was man, it was just God's way of telling me, "Hey, man, I think you need a change and it's going to be the best thing that's ever happened to you.” - Cyrus Jaffery
    • “Every real estate broker, every mortgage company, every financial advisor, accounting firm, they are having talks, or they have already started an insurance thing. So, why not have the independent agents go to them and do a joint venture with them potentially, because we know we can give the right education to the clients instead of these tech companies.” - Cyrus Jaffery
