Welcome to Untitled Success!

Season 3 is HERE! 🎙️

In this episode, host Timothy Towfeless sits down with Michael Shehata, owner of Bethany Insurance, one of Southern California's most respected independent insurance brokerages.

What started as a family business born from his mother's tears after 40 years of loyalty to someone else's company has grown into a 23-employee operation with departments, benefits, HR support, and a client base spanning residential, commercial, and specialty lines... all out of San Dimas, California.This one hits different.Michael gets completely unfiltered about the moment his company's sales dropped 50% after losing one key employee, how he swung from micromanaging everything to letting go of too much, and why both nearly destroyed the business. He breaks down the real cost of starting an insurance brokerage today, what California's wildfire crisis is doing to the insurance market, and the heartbreaking stories from Palisades and Eaton fire victims he reached out to personally, even when they weren't his clients.

If you're thinking about starting your own business, trying to protect what you've already built, or just want to understand why your California home insurance bill is spiraling, this episode is for you.
