Insurance Owners
Agency owners who turned policies into prosperity.
10 profiles, published in one list. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.
Ten profiles of insurance agency owners — people who turned policies, the least glamorous product in business, into prosperity.
The list features Bob Stahl, Chris Cole, Dan Garzella and David Duford. Each profile looks at how an agency is actually built: book by book, client by client, renewal by renewal, until a practice becomes a company.
Insurance rewards patience and punishes shortcuts, which makes its owners some of the most instructive builders on any of our lists. Their stories are told here in full, with sources linked.
