## Resource

In this episode of The Insurance Guys Podcast, hosts Scott Howell and Bradley Flowers welcome Ben Walker of Custom Insurance Solutions and CIS Private Client. Ben shares his remarkable journey from owning a KFC franchise and managing movie theaters to building a thriving high net worth personal lines agency. He opens up about the early churn and burn days of writing any business possible before niching down after buying out his partner, sparked by a visit from a Pure Insurance rep. Listeners will hear practical strategies for marketing to affluent clients through targeted direct mail, understanding their mindset around risk management rather than price, and building deep relationships that win business. Ben also discusses the story behind his book Fortified, his ambitious five year plan to lead nationally while quadrupling premium, and why he values independence over selling the agency. A must listen for agents ready to elevate their high net worth game. Find Fortified on Amazon or by messaging Ben directly.
