Reimagining Insurance & Health Access


Listen Later

🎧 Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Philly Tech Connect Podcast!

This week, we're joined by Alison Hummel, the founder of Activated Health, a trailblazing insurance agency focused on access, transparency, and community wellness.

🔹 About This Episode:

Alison takes us on her journey from top-performing insurance salesperson to launching her own agency—during a divorce, no less—and explains why the word “insurance” didn’t make it into her business name. We dive deep into why tech, strategy, and trust are at the core of Activated Health's growth.

🔸 In This Episode, You'll Discover:

  • Why “Activated Health” has a K in it — and what that has to do with IP and identity.

  • How Alison uses platforms like RetireFlow to streamline compliance-heavy processes.

  • Why seminars, local partnerships, and showing up IRL are part of her go-to-market strategy.

  • Common insurance misconceptions (spoiler: don’t wait for an emergency).

  • What’s ahead for Activated Health and how Alison balances being a business owner and a mom.

    🔹 Why Listen?

    Whether you're a founder, a techie, or just someone who puts off their insurance paperwork 😅 — Alison’s story will give you a new perspective on building a business that cares.
