The insurance industry is on the edge of a technological revolution — and most independent agents are missing it.

In this episode of Insurance Technology Amplified, we sit down with industry trailblazers to unpack why 90% of independent agents are lagging behind on AI, what the top 10% are doing differently, and why this moment might be the single greatest opportunity of your career.

We dive into:

• How forward-thinking agencies are automating 80% of workflows

• Why AI adoption is different this time — and how it compares to VoIP and API integrations

• The emotional landscape of AI for agents: excitement, nervous energy, and a healthy dose of FOMO
