Ep 32: The Insurance Agency Owner Who Turned His Biggest Pain Point Into a Business | Justin Goodman

SEP 14, 202644 MIN

Description

Justin Goodman, founder of Total CSR, joins Stan and Dom to break down how he turned his own agency's biggest problem, watching big houses poach every employee he trained, into an online trade school now used by 1,400+ insurance agencies across the country. Justin shares his path from a golf career cut short by a degenerative spinal disorder, to building his own agency with his brother, to eventually stepping away from it entirely to go all in on Total CSR. He talks about why the first few months of sales made it obvious he had something real, why he believes AI is quietly making agencies dumber if it's used the wrong way, and the mental health journey that led him to launch Project 55, the industry's first tactical training on how to step in when someone is struggling. If you're an agency owner tired of training people just to lose them, or you're trying to figure out where AI actually fits into your business, this one is packed with lessons on training, leadership, and building something that outlasts you.
