"A lot of people get paralyzed and they don't make a decision, but that's a decision."

Rob Bowen learned that in the Navy. At 50 years old, he decided to stop waiting and start his own insurance agency. 🎖️

In episode 3 of Elevate the Hustle, Stan and Dom sit down with Rob Bowen, Navy veteran, owner of Patriotic Insurance Group, and one of Elevate's very first clients. They met at a golf outing in Nashville (where Dom barely made the tee time after "networking" until 3 AM), and what started as a round of golf turned into a years-long partnership.

Rob breaks down:

• Why he left a stable job at 50 to become an entrepreneur, and what finally pushed him to do it
• The military leadership lesson that changed how he runs his agency
• How he went from doing certificates of insurance himself (badly) to delegating outcomes, not tasks
• Why most agencies are busy doing "busy work" instead of revenue-generating activities
• The real reservation he had about hiring remote workers, and how it became a non-issue fast
• What it's like preparing to sell your agency after only 5 years of going independent

Plus, Rob shares his go-to golf club (a 15-year-old Nike hybrid), why he'll never do another certificate of insurance, and the one book every agency owner should read.

If you've ever thought "I'm too old to start over," this episode is for you.

Real talk, real stories, and occasionally real bad language.

If you're an insurance agency owner or entrepreneur who wants straight talk and stories from the trenches, hit play.
