The insurance industry often hires for pedigree: the right degree, the right school, and a polished background. But my guest, Misty Carson, proves that grit outperforms a resume every time. Her journey starts in extreme poverty in a trailer park, navigating life as a teen mom, and leads all the way to the top of the insurance game.

In this episode, Misty shares the raw reality of how she went from surviving to thriving. We discuss how she translated the hustle of the car sales floor into insurance success, why non-traditional talent is the industry's biggest missed opportunity, and how she turned being "battle-tested" into her greatest competitive advantage. This is the story of what happens when you refuse to let your circumstances define your future.
