Greetings, insurance aficionados! Mitch Gibson here, ready to share some incredible insights from the latest episode of The MVP Podcast. Get your notepad and pen because this episode is worth filling a whole notebook! In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with two industry experts: Andy Mathisen from Glovebox and Brett Young from Erb & Young. Together, we delved into the importance of building a strong foundation and establishing our own 4 Pillars for success.

Let's dive into the highlights of this enlightening conversation:

To kick off the episode, Andy Mathisen and Brett Young engaged in a series of rapid-fire questions, giving us a glimpse into their experiences and perspectives. It set the tone for an engaging and insightful discussion.

We discussed the significance of having a process in place to achieve our goals. It's not enough to have lofty aspirations; a well-defined process helps us stay focused and navigate the path to success.

Brett Young shared a valuable technique he learned: curating his social media feed every quarter. By actively choosing the content he consumes, Brett ensures that he is consistently exposed to information and ideas that align with his goals and aspirations.

Andy Mathisen emphasized the importance of four pillars for a strong foundation: operations, education, marketing, and growth. These pillars serve as a framework for success and provide a solid structure to build upon.

Brett Young discussed the four pillars of success at Erb & Young, highlighting their significance not only in the insurance industry but in all aspects of life. These pillars lay the groundwork for achievement and should be foundational to any career or pursuit.

Consistency and showing up were key themes throughout our conversation. Brett stressed that if we can consistently show up in the right way, with a positive attitude, we already surpass the majority who struggle with consistency. The power of perseverance and a strong work ethic cannot be overstated.

Andy emphasized that our individual journeys contribute to establishing our own grounds. By incorporating the expertise and experiences of others while adding our own unique concepts, we create our own secret sauce, ultimately establishing our own pillars for success.

We discussed Tim Grover's book, "Relentless," which serves as a reminder to Andy to push himself every day, regardless of the objective. This dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence are crucial elements in achieving our goals.

Brett Young shared his perspective on production, emphasizing that it's not solely about the numbers but rather the progress and impact of the activities we engage in. Focusing on meaningful activity is key to long-term success.

We touched on the One City World Tour, an exceptional conference that Brett highly recommends. It's an opportunity to learn from industry leaders and gain valuable insights to propel our careers forward.

Andy provided a quick rundown of the One City World Tour speaker lineup and what attendees can expect from this remarkable event. It's a chance to connect, learn, and be inspired by industry experts.

Andy concluded by emphasizing the importance for young producers to prioritize their referral network. Building strong relationships and cultivating a network of referrals can be a game-changer for their success.

As we wrap up this episode, remember the significance of building a strong foundation with your own set of pillars. Operations, education, marketing, and growth should be at the core of your strategy. Stay consistent, show up with a positive attitude, and never stop pushing yourself. And if you have the opportunity, be sure to attend the One City World Tour for an immersive learning experience.

Until next time, keep building your empire on a strong foundation!
