	$6 Million Non-Renewed - Then Everything Changed with Dan Kitajima	26 août 2026	00:46:04
Shoot Us A Message! Struggling to stay profitable when carriers change the rules on you overnight? Dan Kitajima shares the brutal moment his captive agency lost $6 million of book in six months, right as he had just signed a $20,000-a-month office lease - and how that shock forced him to rethink everything. We pushed Dan into the numbers behind the move from captive to independent, from broker fees and comp plans to closing ratios, retention, and why hyper-specializing can beat trying to sell everything. You’ll hear how Dan retained most of the affected book, why charging $150 to $250 in broker fees can actually improve service, and how independence gave him more control over pricing, appetite, and client outcomes. If you’re a captive agent wondering whether the independent model is worth the leap, this conversation gives you the real-world pros, cons, and ramp-up lessons without the hype. Essential listening for agents who want more control, better margins, and a business built to survive the next market disruption. Steal the AI Tools Running Our Agencies...FREE!

Shoot Us A Message! How do you really know if someone will succeed as a producer before you hire them? In this Mailbag episode, we discuss the real traits that separate average producers from the ones who consistently perform, stay longer, and fit the culture.

In this Mailbag episode, we break down a simple 5-step hiring framework designed to remove guesswork, reduce unknowns, and help you consistently find the right people faster.
