The insurance industry often hires for pedigree: the right degree, the right school, and a polished background. But my guest, Misty Carson, proves that grit outperforms a resume every time. Her journey starts in extreme poverty in a trailer park, navigating life as a teen mom, and leads all the way to the top of the insurance game.In this episode, Misty shares the raw reality of how she went from surviving to thriving. We discuss how she translated the hustle of the car sales floor into insurance success, why non-traditional talent is the industry's biggest missed opportunity, and how she turned being "battle-tested" into her greatest competitive advantage. This is the story of what happens when you refuse to let your circumstances define your future.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) She Went From Poverty to Top Producer (00:00:56) The Origin Story: Escaping Poverty and Defying the Odds (00:07:06) The Turning Point: Learning to Bet on Yourself (00:09:34) How Selling Cars Prepared Her to Dominate Insurance (00:18:49) Why the Best Producers Don't Always Have "Perfect" Resumes (00:24:28) "Battle-Tested": Turning a Hard Past Into a Powerful BrandCONNECT 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/
