Tyler (Vice President of Spire Insurance) and his wife recently had their bathroom remodeled. If you’ve ever taken on a renovation project, you know it can go sideways quickly.
They’ve had their fair share of horror stories — one unplanned kitchen remodel and a botched window replacement later, they were pretty skeptical about starting a new project. But this time was different.
The contractor we hired was everything you hope for:
✅ Communicative
✅ Prompt
✅ Courteous
✅ Cleaned up every day
✅ And their work was top-notch
They listened to our input. They respected our home. And when it was all said and done, they were thrilled with the result.
Here’s what he took away from it: They didn’t give up on all contractors. They just got better at choosing one.
The Insurance Parallel
This is exactly how many business owners feel about insurance. They’ve had one (or more) of these experiences:
- A large claim that wasn’t covered
- Premiums that kept going up with no clear explanation
- Agents who vanished after the sale
- Feeling like they’re paying for something with no real value
So they become skeptical. Jaded. Defensive.
And he gets it — when you’ve been burned, it’s hard to trust again.
But just like with contractors, the solution isn’t to avoid the system altogether or assume every agent is the same. It’s to get better at selecting the right partner.
How to Choose the Right Insurance Broker
There’s no shortage of people who can quote you a policy. But how do you find the one who actually knows how to protect your business?
He’s written a few guides to help business owners figure that out:

- ❌ Why Working with Multiple Agents for Quotes Isn’t Helping You
- 🤝 Finding the Right Insurance Partner
These aren’t fluff. They’re built from years of helping businesses clean up insurance programs that were bloated, ineffective, or downright dangerous.
If you’ve had a bad experience in the past, don’t let it define how you move forward. Let it sharpen your selection process — and find a partner who works for you, not just a policy.
Let’s get this right.
If you’re ready to finally feel in control of your insurance strategy, let’s talk. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what you actually need — and how to get there.
