Ep 014 - Financial Advisors: The Insurance Industry is a SCAM? The Hard Truth No One Talks About - feat. Steve Zeiger and Barry Flagg
The insurance industry is actively fighting against transparency.
They lobby against client protections, hide critical data, and push policies that no one understands—and most agents don't even realize they're part of the problem.
But today, we're pulling back the curtain.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ The dirty little secret insurance companies don’t want you to know.
✅ How 95% of agents are unknowingly selling overpriced, bad-fit policies.
✅ Why brokers who don’t evolve will be obsolete in the next 5 years.
✅ The one question that exposes the flaws in any life insurance policy.
This will make a lot of insurance professionals uncomfortable. But if you care about doing right by your clients, you need to hear this.
💬 Drop a comment below: Do you think the industry is broken beyond repair?
⚠️ If you’re an agent, broker, or financial advisor—this episode will change how you see your business.
