From "setback" to "set up." 💥 In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, Roger Short sits down with Marcus Simon, Founder of Simon Legacy Financial, to unpack how losing 90% of his income and team in 2022 became the turning point that launched a fast-growing, multi-vertical insurance agency (Life, Health/Medicare & Retirement). Marcus shares transparent lessons on rebuilding, leadership, and why sustainability + time freedom now drive every decision.
If you've been knocked down—or you're ready to level up—this conversation will give you a blueprint for the next chapter.
