The 3 Things Holding Your Insurance Agency Back

In this solo episode of The Agent Leader Podcast, Brent Kelly delivers a direct and powerful challenge to insurance agency leaders everywhere: Why not you?

Too many agency leaders get stuck playing small—trapped by limiting beliefs, unclear vision, or fear of taking bold action. But the truth is, the difference between a good agency and a truly great one isn’t talent, intelligence, or luck. It’s mindset.

🚀 Brent unpacks the three essential shifts that separate average agencies from high-performing ones:

1. Clarity of Vision – Without a clearly defined future, your team drifts. Brent explains why elite leaders set bold, inspiring goals—and help their people see themselves in that vision.

2. Massive Action – It’s not about doing everything. It’s about doing the right things with urgency and consistency. Learn why action always beats overthinking and how to overcome the inertia that holds so many agencies back.

3. Leadership Development – The best agencies don’t just build producers—they build future leaders. Brent shares why creating a culture of growth multiplies your impact and value.

Whether you're running a small independent agency or a growing regional firm, this episode will help you challenge assumptions, think bigger, and lead with more purpose.

🎯 You don’t need to be the smartest or most experienced leader—you just need to ask the right question: Why not me?
