Description

Brett Kemp is the President of Flood & Peterson, an employee-owned insurance brokerage since 1939, and the strongest market share among property & casualty insurance brokerages in the region.  With career chapters in the Air Force, pharmaceutical sales, and manufacturing, Brett was a darkhorse candidate for ascendance to leadership. 

Aaron Eide visited Fort Collins almost exactly 25 years (to the day!) before we recorded this podcast.  He’s a UND graduate and came through the same Credit and Management Training program at Community First National Bank as yours truly - only a few semesters later.  Aaron had come out to scout out an apartment and see the town before moving to Fort Collins weeks later.  I gave him the nickel tour, took him out to see some live music at Lucky Joe’s and then to Elliot’s Martini Bar - and we don’t remember much after that!  

But/and - though we only worked together for about a year and in different offices - we’ve maintained a professional relationship through all these years, and that’s part of the theme of today’s podcast.  Brett’s prior experience in the military, and in manufacturing, and likewise Aaron’s career in credit and banking gave them added perspective on business and risk - and especially, people - that propelled their career growth.  

Lot’s of great business and relationship sales content in this one, and a bit of inside-baseball on the insurance industry, and three guys who all moved to the region in a short span of time - giving us a shared perspective - and so please enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Brett Kemp and Aaron Eide.
