Episode 289: AI – Tech and More – NO Decision is a Decision with Rob Bowen

Unstoppable Profit Podcast Hosted by Mike Stromsoe

Twenty years ago, I was figuring out how to go paperless, and today, technology is revolutionizing our industry—but too many agencies are still stuck in the past. My guest, Rob Bowen, founder of Patriotic Insurance Group, has embraced automation, bots, and AI to eliminate manual work, improve efficiency, and free his team to focus on what really matters. In this episode, we break down why most agencies struggle with tech (hint: messy data), how automation isn’t about replacing people but enabling them, and why no decision is a decision—if you’re not moving forward, you’re choosing to fall behind. Rob shares practical steps to clean up your data, implement automation without overwhelm, and shift your mindset so you can future-proof your agency.

Highlights:

• Avoiding automation and AI won’t keep your agency safe—it will leave you behind. Adapting to new technology is essential to staying competitive.
• Automation is only as good as the data it runs on. If your AMS or CRM is a mess, AI will only make things worse. Clean, accurate data is key.
• Empower your team to think and act, not just follow orders. This creates a stronger, more efficient workforce and reduces micromanagement.
• Let technology handle repetitive tasks so your team can focus on clients and strategy. Automation is a tool, not a threat.
• Stop wasting time collecting basic info manually. Use tools like Canopy Connect and JotForms to speed up the process and reduce errors.
• Don’t get overwhelmed. Identify your biggest inefficiencies, automate one process at a time, and refine as you go.
