## Resource

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Hannah Hage of First American Insurance to talk about business, insurance, burnout, and faith. Hannah shares how she got into insurance after people kept telling her she would be good at it. Now she helps people protect their homes, cars, businesses, and assets while also helping some buyers find coverage that allows them to close on a home. We talk about how insurance is often misunderstood. It is meant for major losses, not home maintenance. Hannah also explains how storms and claims can cause insurance companies to tighten up, raise rates, or stop taking certain business. Her biggest lesson in business comes from learning she cannot help everyone. After working 16-hour days and damaging her health, she hires help and learns to build the business without burning herself out. Her advice is simple: keep going, even when business gets hard.
