Mike McDonough and I have more in common than just insurance. Mike shares his journey from working as a sous chef for Hilton and Marriott hotels to becoming a successful insurance agent. Despite having no prior knowledge of insurance, Mike took the opportunity and learned about auto, fire, and life insurance. Mike specializes in workers’ compensation insurance and even wrote a book to help employers understand and reduce the cost of workers’ comp claims. He emphasizes the importance of creating an operational plan for businesses to address various issues, building trust with employers, and expanding into other areas of insurance. Mike believes in the potential of the insurance market and advises listeners to focus on thriving areas of the industry. Mike encourages taking consistent action and learning from others.
