What happens when a struggling college student receives a misdirected Instagram DM about insurance? For Kyle Yee, it became the catalyst for an extraordinary transformation from USC economics student to the owner of a thriving insurance agency in LA's Fashion District—all by age 23.

Kyle's remarkable journey began when he answered what he thought was a message about solar consulting. That fateful connection with industry leader Jacob Gardner opened his eyes to the potential of the insurance industry. After selling just a few policies during Thanksgiving break and receiving his first commission check of $955, Kyle made the bold decision to drop out of USC and go all-in on building his business. Fast forward 18 months, and his team now issues over $400,000 in monthly premium, with ambitious plans to expand throughout Southern California.

What sets Kyle apart isn't just his rapid success but his unwavering commitment to team culture and leadership by example. While many agencies try to extract additional profits from their agents through lead markups, Kyle negotiates better deals for his entire team. His personal non-negotiable—selling at least one policy every single day without exception—has created a contagious work ethic throughout his organization. "I'm not letting any of these guys outwork me," Kyle explains, detailing his 7AM to 10PM schedule that begins with team workouts at 5:30AM.

Kyle's refreshingly straightforward advice cuts through industry noise: focus on work ethic and coachability rather than fancy tools or shortcuts. He's never used an auto-dialer, preferring manual calls to stay fully present during conversations. As he puts it, "It's not a very hard business. It's just how hard are you actually willing to work?" This mindset has helped his team members achieve consistent success by focusing on activity metrics (300-500 dials daily) rather than chasing the latest industry trend.

What does it take to build a thriving life insurance business while raising four children? In this episode, Daniel Samano and Brenda Garnica share their inspiring journey from a barber shop and utility company job to consistently selling $60,000 in combined monthly premium with Family First Life.

When Brenda lost her stable job, the couple faced a turning point. With no prior insurance experience, they both got licensed and dove into the business headfirst. Their path wasn’t easy and Brenda admits she would shake during calls and sometimes cry after tough interactions, while Daniel had to learn the industry from scratch. But together, they pushed through fear, leaned on mentorship, and built a system that works.

In this conversation, they open up about:

• Transitioning from barbering and utility work into life insurance
• Attending convention as a pivotal moment in their career
• Overcoming phone anxiety and learning to be authentic with clients
• Effective objection handling strategies they use every day
• Replacing policies that won’t pay out to better serve families
• Balancing marriage, parenting, and business without letting one destroy the other
• Building a team of 40+ agents while recognizing the reality of who actually sells
• Why loyalty and intentionality are non-negotiable for long-term success

Their story proves that with full-time effort the life insurance industry can change your family’s future while giving you the chance to impact countless others.

From the high-stakes world of professional poker to the competitive field of insurance sales, Riad Mourssali's remarkable journey demonstrates how transferable skills and unwavering work ethic can lead to extraordinary success regardless of formal education or background.

After ten years making a living at poker tables, Riad found himself at a crossroads when online poker faced regulatory challenges. When a friend showed him substantial commission deposits after just two months in insurance, his interest was piqued. Despite initial skepticism about whether the opportunity was "too good to be true," Riad decided to test the waters.

What followed was a testament to his commitment. Rather than dabbling part-time, he leveraged his vacation days to work 12-13 hour days, making an astonishing 800-1000 dials daily to accelerate his learning curve. The results were undeniable – within ten months, he earned $200,000 while investing approximately $45,000 in leads. His success continued to scale, reaching as high as $447,000 in annual income.

The parallels between poker and insurance sales are fascinating. Both require reading people effectively, maintaining emotional equilibrium during inevitable fluctuations, and trusting that consistent action produces consistent results. As Riad explains, "You can have a bad day, you can have a bad week, but if you do the same consistent activity, you cannot have a bad month or year."

Currently specializing in Indexed Universal Life products, Riad brings a consultative approach to clients, designing solutions based on their specific needs rather than pushing one-size-fits-all products. His assertive communication style builds credibility and guides clients toward solutions they've already indicated they need.

For those considering a career change or seeking financial growth, Riad's straightforward advice resonates: "This business will change your life, but it's completely on your shoulders. It's not get-rich-quick. It's get-rich-for-sure if you put in hard work and invest in leads." His personal testimony—"I'm nothing special, I'm a high school dropout, all I do is work hard and follow the system"—offers hope that with the right mindset and actions, extraordinary success is attainable for anyone willing to put in the work.

Meet the young revolutionaries transforming the insurance industry. John Egan, Thomas Fox, and Max Konopka—all under 22 years old—have built multimillion-dollar agencies at Family First Life, defying conventional wisdom about success in sales.

Their stories demolish the myth that age equals achievement. John candidly shares his journey from selling drugs at 12 to building an empire.
