Awkward Insurance

Welcome to Awkward Insurance, the podcast that strives to bridge the thrilling world of insurance with the real-life struggles of those of us in the trenches. For producing and servicing agents, insurance centers around relationships and personal connections but let's face it, building relationships can be awkward.

In this podcast hosted by Dustyne Bryant, CIC, CISR, MBA, and Ashley Fitzsimmons, CISR, our conversations are unscripted, and unplanned, and may have you wondering what just happened.
