What makes Blake Terry with Terry Family Insurance a good neighbor?
Ever wondered why finding the right health insurance feels like navigating a maze blindfolded? Blake Terry of Terry Family Insurance joins the Good Neighbor Podcast to pull back the curtain on a critically underserved market - health insurance for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and early retirees.
Blake shares his fascinating journey from spending 18 years in the golf and hospitality industry to founding his own insurance agency just months before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. With no backup plan and unwavering support from his wife, he built a thriving business despite the unprecedented challenges. His story serves as an inspiring testament to perseverance and finding purpose through helping others secure affordable healthcare.
The conversation tackles persistent myths about health insurance, particularly the misconception that DIY shopping is the best approach. Blake reveals how independent agents can unlock twice as many options as consumers find on their own, often at better rates. He also explains why health insurance pricing varies so dramatically between individuals - even for identical plans - based on factors like age, health condition, zip code, and income. For entrepreneurs, 1099 workers, small business owners with fewer than 20 employees, and those who retire before Medicare eligibility at 65, these insights prove invaluable.
Blake's mission extends beyond selling insurance policies. Through his weekly newsletter and social media presence, he educates clients about maximizing benefits, cutting costs, and finding tax savings opportunities. His message is clear: everyone needs a health advisor as part of their professional support team. Check out TerryFamilyInsurance.com or follow Blake's weekly newsletter on social media to learn more about topics like child-only healthcare, managing insurance between jobs, and avoiding common plan selection mistakes. Your health – and wallet – will thank you for listening.
