In this episode of Sterling Insights, Mike Agol sits down with Angie Smith, Agency Owner at Farmers Insurance and full-service risk protection specialist. Together, they explore how to properly protect your assets, family, and legacy through strategic insurance planning, sharing valuable insights and practical tips for listeners. Angie draws from her extensive experience to discuss common coverage gaps, umbrella policies, lawsuits, and misconceptions about “cheap” insurance, offering actionable advice for homeowners, business owners, and high-net-worth families. This episode is a must-listen for anyone building wealth who wants to make sure it’s properly protected, providing both knowledge and tools to navigate this critical subject.

Key Takeaways:

● Value Over Price: The cheapest policy is rarely the best policy. Proper coverage protects everything you’ve worked hard to build.

● Umbrella Policies Matter: An umbrella policy is one of the most affordable ways to shield assets from major lawsuits and liability claims.

● Coverage Gaps Are Common: Jewelry, small business exposures, and liability risks are often underinsured or misunderstood.

● Advisors Should Collaborate: Insurance and financial advisors must work together to fully protect a client’s portfolio.

● Insurance Is Personal: True service goes beyond policies — it means showing up during freezes, hurricanes, and life’s toughest moments.

Quotes from Angie Smith:

● “On a bad day, I want to make sure what you’ve built is still protected.”

● “An umbrella policy is the cheapest attorney you’ll ever have protecting your assets.”

● “We don’t just sell a policy — we sell value and proper protection.”

Building wealth is only half the equation — protecting it is what secures your legacy.
