  • Selling Life Insurance: Why Some Agents Win (And Others Don't)
    Mar 18 2026

    Most agents don't fail because of lack of talent…
    They fail because they don't win the day.

    In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, Zach McElwain breaks down the "90 Day Split"—a simple but powerful comparison between two agents who start in the exact same place… but end up with completely different results.

    One commits to daily discipline.
    The other negotiates with the day.

    Fast forward 90 days:

    • One is writing $20K–$30K/month

    • The other is stuck at $3K–$5K/month, questioning everything

    So what made the difference?

    In this episode, you'll learn:
    ✔️ The daily standards top agents commit to
    ✔️ Why success is built on ordinary days executed extraordinarily well
    ✔️ How to structure your day for maximum production
    ✔️ The power of follow-up (and why most agents lose here)
    ✔️ How to develop the mindset required to win consistently
    ✔️ A proven daily schedule you can implement immediately

    This isn't about motivation—it's about execution.

    Because you don't need 90 perfect days…
    You just need to win one day at a time, 90 times in a row.

  • No Training. No Support. Now Thriving in Life Insurance.
    Mar 11 2026

    What if the confidence you've been waiting for… is built by taking one brave step?

    In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, Roger sits down in studio with Kayt Cabigas from Nashville, Tennessee — a single mom, former project manager, and first-year agent who made the leap into life insurance less than a year ago.

    Kayt didn't grow up dreaming about insurance. She was working a stable job, raising her son on her own, and juggling a second income just to make ends meet. But deep down, she knew something was missing.

    No training.
    No support.
    No roadmap.

    So she did what most new agents are afraid to do — she searched for answers, invested in herself, got in the room, and found a community that changed everything.

    In this episode, Kayt shares:

    • What it's like entering a male-dominated industry as a woman

    • The power of ethical, principled selling

    • Why "getting in the room" accelerates growth

    • How community builds confidence

    • What it takes to leave a comfortable job for something greater

    • How she went from zero support to consistent $10k–$17k months

    • And the exact income goal she's chasing (yes, down to the dollar)

    Most importantly, this is a story about belief — in yourself, in your future, and in the example you're setting for your family.

    If you're new to insurance…
    If you're stuck in a comfortable but capped career…
    If you're a single parent wondering if you can really make the leap…

  • Selling Life Insurance: This Simple Fix Turns Calls Into Commissions
    Mar 4 2026

    Are you losing sales in the first 7 seconds?

    In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, we break down four simple adjustments that can dramatically increase your close rate — especially if you're new or still finding your rhythm in telesales or final expense.

    After a high-production bootcamp (60 apps, $70K in 2.5 days with 21 agents), we noticed patterns. The difference between agents who struggle… and agents who stack "fat stacks"… often comes down to clarity, confidence, and control.

    Here's what we cover:

    ✅ How to get past the first 7 seconds without getting hung up on

    ✅ The #1 communication mistake new agents make (speed kills)

    ✅ How to sound confident — even if you're naturally introverted

    ✅ Why having clients write things down increases closes

    ✅ The fastest way to erode trust (and how to avoid it)

    ✅ Mastering the 5-step sales framework: Belief → Trust → Stakes → Option → Solution

    If you're putting clients on hold, rushing your script, or sounding unsure — this episode is for you.

    Remember: It's not about being loud. It's about being clear.

    It's not about being pushy. It's about being principled.

    Help more clients.

    Serve with confidence.

    Then go make those "fat stacks."
