from Built Simple (in Insurance and in Life) · host Adam Brsan

In this episode of the newly rebranded *Built Simple Podcast*, host Adam Brsan takes us on a personal and professional journey inspired by a lighthearted moment with his daughter during a game of ping pong. When she proudly declared, "I'm just built different" after scoring a point, Adam found himself reflecting on his own approach: "I think I'm just built simple." This revelation sets the tone for a candid discussion about the power of simplicity in both business and family life.Adam dives into his career in the insurance industry, sharing how his greatest successes have stemmed from focusing on one product, one company, and mastering it before teaching others.

From battling cumbersome contracting processes to facing roll-up debt from agents writing bad business, Adam explains why he’s returning to what he does best: keeping it simple.Beyond business, Adam opens up about his family’s homebody lifestyle—fishing at the lake across the street, playing basketball with the kids, and cherishing quiet moments together. When he suggested a vacation to his daughter, her response—"Why? I just like being home"—reinforced his belief that simplicity brings contentment.Tune in for an honest reflection on avoiding overcomplication, the pitfalls of treating companies like mere "carriers," and Adam’s renewed mission to help agents succeed through focus and clarity. Plus, get a sneak peek at upcoming guests and trainings as the *Built Simple Podcast* continues to grow.
