What a SUPERFANTASTIC event! 🙌

Brittany Martinez and I had the privilege to represent Bridge Specialty Group - @braishfieldassociates at the 2026 @fl_agents Sales and Leadership Conference, hosted by the FAIA Young Agents Council last week. 👍

⚡️Casey Nelson⚡️ took us to school on the topic of AI in the insurance agency space.

Then the one and only Ryan Hanley knocked it out of the park with his keynote on Modern Leadership in a Gen Z World. 👏

We also had a panel of AI enthusiasts Carlos Miranda, MBA 🇺🇸, Charley Todd, Michelle Silvester and Greg Thomas, that shared great insights in their experiences.

To cap things off, we learned a Five-Step Framework to Persuade People to Action with Shannon GaNun.

A BIG Thank You to Taylor Hendrickson Hodges and the team for all the hard work on putting this together! 🙏

As I’ve said before folks…#InsuranceIsFun! 💯
