[ Antonio Canas ](https://insnerds.com/insights/author/antonio-canas) : Oct 2, 2015 12:00:00 AM [Crazy Ideas](https://insnerds.com/insights/tag/crazy-ideas) ![#InsuranceRocks – Let’s Start a Movement!](https://insnerds.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Super-Tony-100x100-Jan-03-2025-02-53-57-3433-AM.jpg) **#InsuranceRocks – Because Insurance is an Awesome Industry!** Those of us who work in the industry know that insurance is an awesome industry to work in. Unfortunately it’s also a complex industry, and we are misunderstood by the public, especially the younger generations. This has caused many people to have a negative impression of the industry. Today, is the day we change that stereotype! Join us in starting a movement where we show the world how proud we are of the work we do and how much we love it! **We want to encourage every insurance professional who has had a fulfilling career and who loves the industry to make their love public by sharing just how and why #InsuranceRocks.** Help us reverse the tide, and change the rhetoric about our industry. Help us get to the point where a high school or college kid Googles information about working in the industry and find multitudes of positive and encouraging information. This will help us all to attract the best talent! You can help in 3 ways with varying degrees of commitment: 1. The quick way: Simply start tweeting the reasons you love insurance using the hashtag #InsuranceRocks. 2. The even better way: to also share this article with all your insurance friends and encourage them to participate. 3. The best way: If you’re willing to put a little more time into it, help us by sending us your story for the “Why I Love Insurance Series”.  We will publish your article here on [InsNerds](http://www.InsNerds.com). Email your submissions to [afcanas@gmail.com](mailto:afcanas@gmail.com).  You can read a couple stories already by clicking[ here](https://insnerds.com/category/why-i-love-insurance/). **It’s no accident that we’re launching this movement to coincide with the start of the 2015 CPCU Society Annual Meeting in Indianapolis #CPCU15. Carly and Tony will be at the event equipped with awesome #InsuranceRocks ribbons for your lanyard, and the only way you can get one is by finding us and showing us your #InsuranceRocks tweet!** ![](https://insnerds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Super-Tony-100x100-Jan-03-2025-02-53-57-3433-AM.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=Super-Tony-100x100-Jan-03-2025-02-53-57-3433-AM.jpg) ![](https://insnerds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Super-Tony-100x100-Jan-03-2025-02-53-57-3433-AM.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=Super-Tony-100x100-Jan-03-2025-02-53-57-3433-AM.jpg) ### About Antonio Canas Tony started in insurance in 2009 and immediately became a designation addict and shortly thereafter a proud insurance nerd.
