In this episode of the Insurance Perspectives podcast, Kenny Hendricks interviews Niki Henley from Extra Mile Insurance Solutions about her transition from being a captive insurance agent to becoming an independent agent. They discuss Niki's background in insurance, the challenges she faced as a captive agent, and the resources she utilized to aid in her transition.

Takeaways

• Finding a community of independent agents through platforms like Facebook can provide valuable support and guidance.
• It's important to focus on learning insurance in general, not just the underwriting guidelines of a specific carrier.
• Don't feel pressured to adopt every new technology or tool in the market. Only invest in solutions that address specific problems in your agency.
• Timing is important when making the transition to independence, but there may never be a perfect time. If it feels right, go for it.
