In this candid monologue, the speaker recounts his first encounter with the insurance industry while working in mortgage protection. Intrigued by the overlap between mortgages and insurance, he pursued an insurance license in 2010, secured a contract, and received leads from his former employer. After a single 30‑minute cold‑calling session, he was immediately turned off by the rejection he received and decided to quit the sales role, reflecting on his soft‑hearted nature and the early mindset challenges of entering insurance sales.

Chapters

So how did you hear about insurance? So funny enough, the original time I heard about it was when I was in the mortgage industry. Yeah, people used to come in to try to get me to sell mortgage protection. I heard about the industry from that. Got it. I didn't realize what it was. I thought it was different too. You never really looked into it, you just heard about it. I got licensed in 2010 because of that. I was like, let me try to get my license. Kind of midway through that accounting deal, I got a license just because I kept hearing about this mortgage protection thing. Yeah, I'm like, I do, I understand mortgages, let me kind of figure it out. Insurance license, okay. So I get my license, I get contracted with a dude in 2010. I dialed lead, they gave me leads. Yeah, it was for the same company that we originally worked at. I was still there and, uh, different hierarchy though. And dude, I didn't know, just random guy. And I get leads March of 2010, I think I got my license. Dialed leads once, literally, bro, for 30 minutes and I quit. I was like, nah. What happened in those 30 minutes? They told me no, bro. I didn't like it. Remember, I'm soft.
