A short YouTube monologue by Andy Neary arguing that agencies should not retain a high-performing "star" insurance producer who is toxic to company culture; keeping such a person for revenue risks undermining team success. The clip emphasizes personnel and cultural health over short-term revenue retention.

At the end of the day, what makes an agency thrive is the personnel. Even if I've seen plenty of agencies who have that star athlete, that star advisor. But if the, if the advisor, just because their talent, they're talented, it doesn't mean the team that they're on is going to be successful. The agencies put themselves in a, in a very precarious position because they have that star producer, though he or she is a cancer. When the answer is they should probably get rid of them, they don't because they, they want to make sure that revenue keeps coming out.
