Summary

In this Super TRUEper episode, Scott Smith sits down with Katie Dreiling, Head of National Broker and General Agency Partners at Guardian, for a lively and inspiring conversation that mixes humor, humility, and hard-earned wisdom. Katie shares her now-legendary story of breaking one ankle and tearing the other while jumping off a virtual reality ledge—an anecdote that perfectly captures her resilience and self-awareness. She reflects on her early years in Albuquerque and South Carolina, her leadership roots in student government at the University of South Carolina, and her early career in politics working for a governor and a U.S. senator before realizing her passion lay in helping people through business, not campaigning. Starting from the ground up as an enroller in New York City with Colonial Life, she built a career marked by courage, curiosity, and connection, eventually becoming AVP over national broker partnerships—the role where she first connected with TRUE Network and famously paired Nina Myrick with Scott. After leadership roles at Cigna and now Guardian, Katie credits her success to taking risks, staying authentic, and her father’s advice: “There’s no right or wrong choice, just the choice you make—and then you make it right.”
