About This Podcast

Scale Your Insurance Agency Podcast is the executive-level show for independent insurance agency owners who are done with fragmented systems, inconsistent producer performance, and being the “glue” holding everything together. Each episode delivers straight, operator-grade insight on how top agencies create predictable growth by installing a unified operating system across leadership, sales, and automation—so the agency runs without constant owner rescue. 

Hosted by Daniel Metcalf & Mike Stromsoe and built for the ONYX-caliber operator, we focus on the real levers that move an agency from “successful but maxed out” to strategically led, system-driven, and scalable—including the Time Dividend (10–15 hours recovered), Private Profit Dashboard visibility, workflow automation, team adoption, and revenue engines that actually stick. 

If you’re a growth-minded agency leader (typically $3M–$10M+ revenue with a team that’s ready to execute), this is your weekly edge: leadership alignment, AI & automation that reduces friction, retention and cross-sell expansion, and the discipline to collapse years of progress into months - without burning out your people.
