What's in this episode:

David Wetoskey didn’t just survive his first year as an agency owner—he built a high-retention machine and nearly hit 1,000 PIF in 12 months. In this raw, tactical conversation, David breaks down exactly how he structured his team, delegated with purpose, and built systems for consistent production. From building a “brand-based” staff to letting go of the wrong fits, you’ll walk away with real strategies you can implement today—especially if you're still in your first few years of ownership.

What’s in this episode:

Think a "maybe" means progress? Think again. In this solo episode, Michael Weaver explains why all buyers are liars until they give you a clear yes or no.

• “Let me think about it”
• “Can you follow up next week?”

Whether you’re an agent, a producer, or running a sales team, this episode will help you stop chasing, start closing, and finally cut through the noise.

[00:00] Why all buyers are liars (until you get the yes or no)

[01:15] How “Hopium” is killing your pipeline

[02:45] Why clients ghost you—and how to stop it

What’s in this episode:

Let’s be real—if you’ve ever felt sleazy selling life insurance, you’re not broken. You’re just missing the right framework.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a live training that helped agents 4X their life insurance production in less than 20 days. We’re talking real talk on why the traditional way of selling life insurance feels pushy—and how to flip that script using better words, smarter questions, and a proven conversation flow that turns "just checking a box" into meaningful, premium-rich sales.

This one’s for the agents who want to feel confident, close bigger deals, and actually help people—without feeling like a walking pitch deck.

[00:00] – Why life insurance sales feel sleazy

[03:00] – You’re not the problem—your framework is

[07:00] – What changed everything in 2016

[10:30] – How to pivot into life like a pro
