Drew describes himself as someone who wants to continually learn and demonstrates that by having attended five colleges, including Oxford University and the University of Birmingham from 2003 to 2018. 

Drew joins us to discuss the importance of risk management and what it takes for independent agencies to grow beyond their scope. He shares what life was like growing up in a family that has owned a food service distribution company for multiple generations. He explains how he works with clients and the steps he takes when they ask for consultations. Drew also discusses captives and the different ways organizations can use them for their business.

“How you manage risk is often the difference between surviving and not.” - Drew Yancey
