What's in this episode:
- How keeping it simple can lead to massive success.
- Transitioning from agency to leadership.
- Making money while having fun.

About Drew:
Born and raised (by the best parents on the planet) in Memphis, TN. Moved to Knoxville, TN to become a VOL 4 LIFE! While in school, developed a love for business - both in theoretical case studies in class and in the real-world projects I had my hands in. I was hooked! Graduated and immediately began working for a local insurance agent with a plan to help this auto and home insurer grow more in the financial advice space. A couple of years later, opened my agency. After 5 years of wildly varying levels of success (consistency… whoof. Lol) I took a consulting and coaching opportunity. Now my job is essentially being and life and business coach to my 50 direct reports and the 200 team members they manage. When not working, I'm either playing outside with my beautiful bride Grace and my son Beau, traveling with a book in hand, or working on some project that will hopefully make the world a little better. God has blessed me more than I deserve. Now just trying to live in a way that says thank you!
