19 Sep 2025
What do you do when your world collapses? When your son is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer, and you meet another father in the hospital who has lost his job and can't afford a $2 parking fee? This isn't a hypothetical, it was the reality for my guest, Tom Sutter. It's a level of tragedy that can break a person and force them to give up.But Tom didn't just survive; he found his life's mission in the middle of the wreckage. In this episode, he shares his incredible journey of co-founding Cal's Angels, a foundation that supports children and families fighting pediatric cancer. We get into how this purpose reshaped his entire approach to his insurance career, teaching him that real success is built on authenticity, transparency, and a genuine desire to help people. This is a powerful conversation about how the worst moments in life can unlock your greatest purpose.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) How Tragedy Drives Purpose: The Journey of Tom Sutter (00:16:07) The Catalyst: Cal's Story and a Father's Unimaginable Fight (00:25:55) The Mission: Building Cal's Angels on a Foundation of Transparency (00:27:16) The Shocking Truth About Pediatric Cancer Funding (Only 4%) (00:36:32) The Transformation: How This Journey Reshaped His Insurance CareerCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY📲 Schedule a free discovery call:https://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionSubscribe and listen to the Accelerate Your Insurance Sales Podcast 🎙 here:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andy-neary7 🎯 Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube 🎥:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyqBg5tL_1G1tf7Wo98tMgg💬 Join the Complete Game text community:Text the word BROKER to 414-622-1462Connect with Andy Neary on social media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyneary/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_neary/
