Recorded just after the New Year, I am so very excited to finally be able to release this one, recorded with my good friends, Ted & Arleen Taveras! I have known these two for over 10 years, and although we have worked closely on projects throughout the years, I have never sat down behind the mic with them! These two have a successful podcast and have interviewed hundreds of folks through the years, but I was excited to get them talking about themselves for once!
Listen To The Full Episode:
Here is a bit about these two…

regulations. She is a past member of the National Association of Insurance Brokers’ Licensing Task Force, and the Texas Surplus Lines Association Legislative and Recruiting Committees and has been a member of the Society of Insurance Licensing Administrators (SILA) since 1993.
