Sat Jan 31 2026
In today’s episode, Chris sits down with Jon Persky (Optimum Performance Solutions) to unpack what’s actually happening in the insurance agency M&A market—and what agency owners keep getting wrong when buyers come knocking.
You’ll also hear a blunt breakdown of the biggest risk in today’s deals: taking part of the purchase price in buyer stock—especially when it’s not liquid, not publicly traded, and can come with restrictions most sellers don’t fully understand.
