Who created Insurance forums?

[goillini52]

I would guess initially it was local agents looking to network and grow but now it thinks it's backed by FMO's looking to get as many agents as possible

What does that have to do with Steely Dan?

I talked about the insurance forums origin story a little more on this podcast [EXTERNAL LINK] - Podcast: Sam Melamed's Journey Through Insurance Innovation

Some of you old times may remember the Rick and Al days!

Good God, those were the days. While they were both antagonists, Rick was really a good guy. His online personality was much different than his offline and in-person personality. Met up with him and a few others for dinner in Atlanta many years ago.

Al on the other hand, might have just punched him in the face if I ever met him in person. As a matter of fact, I think I once offered to meet him any time he was coming through Atlanta to give him a chance to provide the same energy in person.

Anybody remember the guy that was a "rockstar agent"? I want to say his name was Rob. He and Rick (Greensky) had a big falling out.

Last I heard, Rick moved to Nevada (from California) and maybe got remarried. Not sure if he's still with us (alive) or not. Can't remember his last name.

Rob Liano and Rick Bronstein.

Yep, Rick is still with us, living in Las Vegas. He did get remarried.

Rob is still with us, but I don't really keep up with what he's doing.

No idea what either is up to but I did meet up with Rick in Vegas maybe 8-10 years ago.

Whatever happened to the insurance forum that was set up as a quasi military dictatorship? I hav re forgotten the name but I amsure someone remembers.

I think the name of that forum with Top Gun or something like that. Didn't make it because it was ran by a dictator.

That dude was also named Rick, I think.

That dude was also named Rick, I think.

Dude..ha, I took my 8 year old nephew to a skateboard park a few days ago, and one of the teenagers there called me dude. It made my day. If he had said sir or mister, I would have had to go sit in the car.
