In Episode 7 of Agency Ascend, we sit down with Sean Munger, a producer with an owner’s mindset, to unpack what it really means to play the long game.

This episode is all about consistency, execution, and long-term thinking. Sean breaks down how he built trust with clients, developed a disciplined work ethic, and focused on delivering value over time, not just short-term wins.

We also dive into:

• The importance of humility and mentorship
• What sellers are really looking for in a buyer
• Why carrier relationships and retention can make or break a deal
• How to grow into ownership before you buy your way in

🎧 Listen in to learn how smart future owners think—and lead—before they ever take the reins.
