How Did The Passion Start?

Sure, you see me now and you see passion for a life in and around insurance.  But it wasn’t always this way.

Initially I just had a job that equaled a paycheck.  It wasn’t even a career at that point.  Never mind a “calling.”

We all have a back story to how we became so passionate.  How we became Insurance Nerds.  Hell, if I wore a red blazer with a Superman t-shirt, it might be called an Origin Story.

In this episode of The Insurance Nerdery, I share a story about the claim that changed my life.  Even this many years later, it is still emotional speaking about.

I’d love to hear your story as well.  When did the passion start for you?
