À propos de cet audio

 In the fourth installment of the "Becoming the Protégé" series on Power Producers Shop Talk, host David Carothers welcomes contestant Brian Shaw, the Principal at Alamo Insurance Professionals. Brian, a veteran of the US Army, law enforcement, and the financial services world, shares his powerful "why" for joining the competition. He discusses his unique challenge of feeling like he's "running in quicksand" while trying to grow his two-year-old agency and simultaneously train his son, who has Asperger's and type 1 diabetes. The conversation is a candid look at the father-son dynamic, the need for proven systems, and finding the discipline to succeed. Key Highlights: A Veteran's "Why": Building a Legacy Brian Shaw explains that after 20 years in the industry and a near-fatal battle with COVID that cost him his medical device business, he returned to commercial insurance. He joined The Protégé to find the systems and discipline he needs to train his son effectively, break his own "bad habits," and build a lasting legacy for his family. The Father-Son Dynamic & Overcoming Challenges Brian opens up about the unique joys and frustrations of working with his 31-year-old son, who is on the autism spectrum. He shares his personal struggles as a father and trainer, noting that his son is a "sponge" for information but struggles with focus and the father-son dynamic. Brian's goal is to use The Protégé's framework to become a better teacher and provide a clear path for his son to follow. Niche Focus: Construction and Agriculture With a deep personal background in agriculture (growing up on a farm in Indiana, 4-H, and FFA) and a strategic focus on construction (HVAC, electrical, and plumbing), Brian is working to establish his agency as a true risk management partner, not just a "policy peddler," in these specific niches. Fear of Failure: "I'm Most Concerned About Myself" When asked who he's most worried about in the competition, Brian gives the honest answer: himself. He shares his fear of letting his family and son down and his self-identified shortcoming of "tweaking" systems that are working instead of just executing. David's tip is to focus on the process—which is the real victory—rather than the competition.
