EXPERIENCE 23 | Making an Insurance Business Journey Cool with Brandon Avery
Brandon Avery is a VP Risk Advisor for IMA Financial Group, heading the Commercial Insurance Division. Sounds pretty boring, and Brandon would tell you that insurance isn't very exciting overall.
BUT - Brandon's business journey is very exciting! Brandon formed a partnership in 2013 with Josh Fyhrie and together they built Colorado Insurance Advisors into a regional brand and 10X'd their revenues in just 7 short years. We explore his life and business journey, much of which was spent as a member of LoCo Think Tank, and reflect upon the critical skills needed and decisions made along the way.
Brandon is passionate about business & family, dedicated to excellence in golf, and he's all about making no excuses and working hard every day to be your best. He's recently become a LoCo Facilitator, serving the Thinkers Too chapter based in Fort Collins. This is a fun and useful conversation with a good friend and business mentor, B-Money he prefers to be called. (not really!)
