There’s a trillion-dollar wave of capital chasing AI in insurance. The question is — will your agency ride it or get rolled by it?

In this episode, Michael Jans lays out the 5-Step AI Playbook for Insurance Agencies:

1. Know – What’s real and what’s noise
2. Grow – Where AI actually drives revenue
3. Integrate – How to blend humans + automation
4. Buy – Smart investment decisions in tech
5. Scale – Building a system that compounds

Straight talk. No hype. Just a clear path from overwhelm to opportunity.

Subscribe, listen, and get your agency ready for the AI age.

AI is accelerating faster than any technology in history — doubling in power every four to seven months. What does that mean for the independent insurance agency system?

Michael Jans sits down with Marc Lanzkowsky, founder of Lanzko AI and 30-year veteran of the insurance world — attorney, carrier exec, and IT innovator — to explore how AI is reshaping compliance, claims, and operations.

You’ll hear:

• The biggest AI compliance traps agencies are walking into right now
• Why “free” AI tools might expose your client data to model training
• What smart agencies are doing to integrate AI safely and intelligently
• Why AI won’t replace the human element — but will multiply your impact
• How custom GPTs and prompt libraries are becoming an agency’s secret weapon

A fast, thought-provoking conversation — one that might just reshape how you lead your agency through the next 36 months of transformation.

Follow for new episodes of AI for the IA — where independent agencies learn how to think, act, and grow with intelligence.

When you’ve spent decades inside the independent agency system, you know the pain of underwriting chaos — juggling dozens of carriers, appetites, and rules that never seem to match up.

That frustration drove Trace Meek, a third-generation agency owner, to build something extraordinary: Ask Fetch — an AI-powered underwriting and quoting platform that cuts hours of manual work down to under 90 seconds.

In this episode, Trace shares:

• How he turned a daily headache into a nationwide insurtech.
• The “21x MIT Rule” that proves speed wins every time.
• Why 400,000 industry veterans leaving the business will make AI essential for survival.
• What the next 36 months look like for independent agencies who adopt (or ignore) AI.

Listen in — this one’s not theory. It’s the future unfolding, one frustrated agent at a time.
