Description

In this epsisode of Insurance Town the mayor sits down with two of his favorite people Jessica Holder and Keenan Rice on a previously recorded episode of the VIP Podcast. I am so impressed with these two, their marriage, parenting, agency, etc  this forward-thinking power couple are continuing to rise above and face various challenges head on. Jessica and Keenan have such an amazing balance at home and at the office. They have a great balance of community involvement and innovative technology at their fingertips, and lastly, they have a great balance of work and fun in their agency. 

We talk about:

The delicate balance of marriage and co-ownership of a growing agency
How human touch and community involvement is possible with the right technology in your agency
How the emphases on educating their community on the intricacies of insurance is so valuable to their growth
Their powerful message of staying true to yourself and not sacrificing authenticity
