Key Quotes:

“I feel like I'm on a mission now, and I think that could happen to anybody. It’s so interesting because it's just a different tweak of how you think about things. So, if you feel like you're stuck somewhere, there's light at the end of the tunnel, things could change tomorrow, and something great could come about.” - Kim Beach

“We have the consumers and then we have the female agents that were trying to really create a community. I mean, as far as I can tell, there's not a national community of female agents. So, InsureWomen would love to be that community, where we can come together with best practices and that kind of thing.” - Kim Beach

“I'm older, but I'm doing new things every day that I never thought I would be doing because of this. And it's exciting to me, like, my whole world is different and that can happen to anybody. I just think you have to be ready for that to happen, kind of be looking for that opportunity that could change what you're doing.” - Kim Beach
