The Insurance Dudes: Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman
Recent Episodes
In this episode, we’re joined by Dan Garzella, a highly respected entrepreneur and the founder of The Garzella Group, one of the fastest-growing independent insurance agencies in the U.S. Dan has built multiple successful businesses, mentors leaders across industries, and continues to guide entrepreneurs on scaling teams, simplifying systems, and creating long-term, sustainable success.
In this episode, we talk about building confidence when you don’t feel ready, why showing up consistently is more about mindset than motivation, what most new creators get wrong about visibility, how Dan built systems, discipline, and clarity during the hardest seasons of his life, and strategies to grow without burning out.
If you’ve been struggling with motivation, self-doubt, or the pressure to “perform,” this conversation will feel like a warm, grounding pause.
