Covering It All Podcast

Meet Kristin and Kyle—married, fully remote, and running a thriving life insurance agency from home (yes, often times in sweatpants). This podcast is your backstage pass to the world of entrepreneurship, building a business with your spouse, and designing a life that doesn’t revolve around the typical 9–5. We’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to grow a freedom-based business—no filters, no fluff.

We’re always on the lookout for go-getters who want the same kind of freedom. If that’s you—don’t be shy, reach out!

If you’ve ever dreamed of working from home and calling the shots—this is your kind of place.

In this episode of the Covering it All podcast, we share how we've created a business that lets us prioritize family, travel, and fun without giving up income or success. We talk about the freedom and flexibility of owning a life insurance agency, how simple the business model is, and how it allows us to live life first. From managing our schedule to setting boundaries and supporting our team, we dive into how we’ve made our business work around our lives. Plus, we give a peek into our day-to-day—whether it’s celebrating family birthdays, taking trips, or training for a half-marathon!

This week, we’re making way too many fire references and catching you up on everything from the past two weeks! Kristin shares about her trip to Mexico, and we dive into our experience at an incredible insurance conference in Dallas.

From Employee to Entrepreneur: Rewiring Your Mind for Success!

If you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, your mindset has to shift first. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the five biggest mindset shifts that will take you from thinking like an employee to operating like a business owner.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why trading time for money will keep you stuck—and what to do instead

✔️ How to take full ownership of your success (no more waiting for permission!)

✔️ Why failure isn’t the enemy—it’s part of the process

✔️ The difference between getting a paycheck and building long-term wealth

✔️ How to start thinking bigger so you can create real financial freedom

Key Takeaways:

Shift #1: Trading Time for Money → Creating Value for Money You don’t get paid for hours—you get paid for results. Learn how commission-based income changes the game.

Shift #2: Waiting for Direction → Taking Full Ownership No boss is telling you what to do now. You have to set your own schedule, goals, and standards for success.

Shift #3: Fear of Failure → Seeing Failure as Growth Mistakes are stepping stones, not setbacks. The faster you fail, the faster you learn and grow.

Shift #4: Expecting a Paycheck → Building Long-Term Wealth Entrepreneurs play the long game. Passive income, renewals, and scalability create financial freedom.

Shift #5: Thinking Small → Thinking Big Stop hoping for a raise—start thinking about how to 10X your income.

💡 Our Take: Mindset is everything. If you don’t rewire your thinking, you’ll stay stuck in old habits that don’t serve you as a business owner. These shifts are the foundation for success in entrepreneurship!

We’ve heard it all.

“Isn’t life insurance a MLM or pyramid scheme?”

“There’s no way that can be a full time career.”

“Most people fail in life insurance.”

“Only pushy salespeople succeed.”

“You only make money if you recruit people.”

Have you ever talked to someone who is actually IN the business, specifically at Symmetry Financial Group? My guess would be no, because that’s not the posture of the people we get to learn and grow beside everyday. We are happy to provide some clarify for you today.
