And I love the metaphor of a tree creating coverage, I love that it grows, and it was a name that ended up sticking, as we incorporated and went to market.” - Steve Lekas “I think we come at it from a little bit of a different angle because of the experience of working with consumers and understanding their buying, and shopping behaviors. And architecting a business that was built to solve the problems I couldn't solve in some of my past lives.” - Steve Lekas “I think our mission is to make insurance less expensive, and by making it less expensive, we can help more people be insured, which we most explicitly go after through our nonprofit arm safety nest.” - Steve Lekas Resources Mentioned: Agency Intelligence Reach out to Ryan Hanley Steve Lekas LinkedIn Branch Insurance Advertisers: Tarmika We Got Your Podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
