In this solo episode, Michael Jans steps away from vendor interviews to deliver a critical message every agency principal needs to hear—right now.

They’re both right.

They’re just talking about completely different things.

The 3 Zones of AI Use (and where most agencies get into trouble)
Why E&O carriers are beginning to pay attention—and what that means for your next renewal
