Jared Bradshaw: Fighting for Trust in an Industry of Doubt

With insurance brokers on every corner in every city, competition is fierce and can lead to dishonest behavior leaving some business owners having too little insurance or complete gaps in crucial coverage. Knowing who to trust can be hard. How can you be sure if a broker has your best interest in mind or if they are just trying to make a sale? Here's some hints... If they can make the unknown simple enough for you to understand, you're on the right path. The more complicated it's made to sound, the more you should question it.  If they are willing to send your business to someone else who is better suited to meet your needs, you've got a keeper. If they don't respond timely (or at all) to your questions - RUN. My conversation with Jared Bradshaw of MaxPro Insurance in Valencia, California, is proof that good and decent brokers full of integrity still exist. Jared takes us on a journey from his early fighting career to consulting in the cannabis industry, finally landing in insurance as an independent broker building a team to help protect some of the largest and most complicated industries around. It's no surprise that his success is driven by hard work, trust, and you guessed it...curiosity.  FACT CHECKS * 2019 Ridgecrest (Searles Valley) earthquake measured 6.4 on 7/4/2019 followed by 7.1 on 7/6/2019 according to USGS.gov. * Human/Banana DNA similarities here [https://tinyurl.com/humanbananadna] or at https://tinyurl.com/humanbananadna Jared Bradshaw LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jared-beau-bradshaw-6b93a08/]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jared-beau-bradshaw-6b93a08/ MaxPro LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/maxpro-insurance/]: https://www.linkedin.com/company/maxpro-insurance/ Jared Bradshaw Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/jared.bradshaw.insurance/?hl=en]: https://www.instagram.com/jared.bradshaw.insurance/?hl=en MaxPro Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/maxproinsurancesolutions/?hl=en]: https://www.instagram.com/maxproinsurancesolutions/?hl=en MaxPro Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/MaxProInsuranceSolutions/]: https://www.facebook.com/MaxProInsuranceSolutions/ *episode recorded live on January 29, 2021
