(56:31) Key Quotes: “I'm very much community focused in the way that I bring in business and I inbound. And so I'm still trying to train kind of the community and different things that I have now with T5, right? But it's been an easier transition because most of my branding and stuff has been around the personal brand of me.” - Stephen Turnbull “The experience and the headaches and the feeling of banging my head into the wall time and time again because I've had those experiences, I now know what I want to do differently now that I'm in the role of the owner to provide that young producer, that new producer, the tools that they need to build their brand with T5, and not have any roadblocks.” - Stephen Turnbull “I just want to say if anybody's listening to this, and there's a similar situation, maybe they feel like they're stuck, and they can't get out. Just remember and I wish somebody had said this to me earlier, that you're the only person that's going to make a change in your life. Right? You are the only one. There's a reason that the flight attendants tell you to put your mask on before helping others. And if you don't take that hard decision to do it, nothing's gonna change so just do it.” - Stephen Turnbull Resources Mentioned: Stephen Turnbull LinkedIn T5 Insurance Reach out to Ryan Hanley Rogue Risk Finding Peak Learn more about your ad choices.
