Former actor turned Medicare expert? You read that right. In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, we sit down with David MacNiven, founder of Nutmeg Insurance Advisors and host of the Sounds of Health podcast.
With a decade of experience in nonprofit fundraising and a background in Broadway and indie film, David shares how he brought storytelling, values, and technology together to build a thriving, community-first Medicare agency.

We talk about:

  • How David transitioned from the stage to the world of Medicare, health insurance, and long-term care
  • Why storytelling is the superpower behind his agency’s growth
  • His take on Medicare Final Rule, tech trends, and using AI in modern agencies
  • What inspired the launch of the Sounds of Health podcast and the deeper mission behind it
  • How community involvement (like serving on the Chamber board and EO Accelerator) fuels both his business and personal legacy

Don’t miss the tee-ball triple play story. Legendary.
