    The Insurance G.O.A.T. w/ Jude Romano

    The Insurance G.O.A.T. w/ Jude Romano

    Today we have an old friend and the King of the New Jersey Insurance game: welcome Jude Romano, the Insurance GOAT.

    Ever find yourself at a crossroads between sticking with comfort or chasing the thrill of a new venture? Jude Romano, the insurance industry's self-proclaimed GOAT, did just that after his long tenure at JP Morgan, and he's here to spill the secrets behind his audacious leap. With a narrative that's as gripping as it is insightful, Jude peels back the curtain on the competitive realm of insurance, highlighting how his prowess in relationship building and a laser-focused strategy have been pivotal to his meteoric rise. He's not one to mince words, and this episode is peppered with the kind of harsh truth that's both refreshing and rare (read as: not suitable for all audiences!)

    We zoom in on the creative marketing genius of Jude that's shaking up the insurance scene. Imagine combining goats with birthday celebrations – it's this kind of wild thinking that sets Jude apart in a business that most people think is stuffy. He takes us through the financial trenches, from dissecting commission structures to debunking the myths of passive income, all while maintaining a connection with customers that's genuine and profitable. 

    This episode is a riot, let's get into it!
