About this listen

The Invisible Agent Podcast was created for Medicare agents who want clarity, confidence, and direction in a crowded and noisy industry. This show exists to help agents step out of the shadows and become visible, trusted, and unstoppable in their communities.

Each episode is designed to offer practical guidance, real conversations, and lessons drawn from real experience — not hype or quick fixes.

  • Blind Squirrels Get Lucky. Professionals Get Strategic.
    Feb 23 2026

    Tired of feeling invisible while lesser agents get the calls? We break down a simple, durable system to get found fast and chosen first by the right clients. The strategy lives on three pillars—online presence, community presence, and brand presence—and we show how to stitch them into a visibility web that compounds over time.

    We start with the “new storefront”: your online footprint. You’ll learn how to audit your Google Business profile, why the local three-pack matters, and what to post so searchers see a real, local professional. We talk reviews with intent, NAP consistency, service areas, photos that build trust, and why organic search is far from dead when you treat it like a habit. Then we move into community—mall walking groups, libraries, senior centers, parades, markets—places where repeated, non-solicit touchpoints create familiarity. Presence is credibility; when neighbors already know your face and name, referrals feel natural and conversations start warmer.

    Branding ties everything together. Stop leading with carriers and uplines; lead with you. Your face, name, and direct line are your most powerful assets, especially early on. We cover simple branding wins: a clean logo, domain-based email, compliant materials that still feel human, and a clear “why” that clients can repeat to friends. We also dig into direct response mail that still works when it’s personal and precise, and how mail sparks search—so your online setup must confirm what your postcard promised. Throughout, we share practical routines and examples you can use this week to move from a small flashlight to a neighborhood bonfire.

    If you’re ready to replace guesswork with a repeatable path to calls, appointments, and reviews, this is your playbook. Subscribe for more strategies, share this with a fellow agent who needs a boost, and leave a quick review to tell us which pillar you’ll tackle first.

  • If Your Best Lead Is Your Mom, We Need To Talk
    Feb 16 2026

    What if the real reason your pipeline feels dry isn’t effort, it’s invisibility? We kick off The Invisible Agent by naming the trap so many insurance professionals fall into: hiding behind activity and hoping clients will magically seek them out. From there, we lay out a clear, doable path to become findable, trusted, and booked without burning cash.

    Dave shares his early missteps with captive models, cold outreach, and business reply cards, then explains how simple, free platforms—Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and Facebook—became the new brick and mortar. Mike pulls back the curtain on why so many agents are unsearchable in their own markets and how a complete, living profile turns into your hardest-working employee. We talk practical visibility: fill every field, speak plainly about what you do and where, collect reviews, and post helpful content that answers real questions.

    We also tackle time: the two-week audit that exposes where your hours leak, the difference between money-making work and admin drift, and the small systems that reclaim focus. If you’ve ever lost an afternoon to social scrolls or context switching, this will sting—in a good way. Then we dive into coaching. Too many voices stall growth, so we argue for one head coach with real experience, clear access, and a skill-first approach. Use specialized courses as add-ons, not new playbooks, and let consistency compound.

    This conversation blends hard-won lessons with step-by-step moves you can execute today: get searchable in your city, publish before perfect, be yourself, and point your week at the work that moves the needle. Whether you’re brand-new, stuck in the middle, or scaling fast, the path from unknown to unstoppable starts with being seen.

    If this helped, subscribe, share with a colleague who needs it, and leave a review telling us your first visibility win. What will you change this week?
