Episode Highlights: Katlyn thinks that one of the greatest factors about guest hosting a podcast is the opportunity to interview such amazing guests and be joined by rock stars in the industry.

(8:30) Jason discusses the podcast episode with Alejandro Velez entitled, Competing with the Goliaths. (10:14) Katlyn shares that some call centers do effective tasks. Therefore, the challenge is to not let our disdain, for the things that they're doing poorly hold us back from being able to pull the curtain back. (11:17) Katlyn thinks that efficiency is more significant than speed. (11:49) Katlyn mentions one of the huge challenges they had as local insurance agents was to achieve economies of scale. (13:44) Katlyn shares that the Age of Indiependence has been valuable for her because she started as a captive agent, and it was a big milestone for her, transitioning from the captive world to being an independent agent. (23:15) Key Quotes: “My goal with these episodes has been, to bring a perspective that is new and fresh, but it's something that an agency of any size could walk away with some tangible takeaways, some new ideas, and some things that you can put into practice, every once in a while.” - Katlyn Eggar “At the end of the day, we're going to create more opportunity for people in our communities that need the best job in the world which we have waiting for them in our offices, and it's going to change our lifestyle because we're going to go from just slogging it out every day trying to get out of doing things the same way, to being the coaches, the leaders, and the world changers that we want to be.” - Katlyn Eggar Resources Mentioned: Agency Intelligence Reach out to Jason Cass Jason Cass LinkedIn Katlyn Eggar LinkedIn Advertisers: Podium Veruna
