Adam Mitchell recently had the pleasure of being a guest on The Insurance Podcast, hosted by Pete Tessier, to talk about various issues within the insurance marketplace and industry in Ontario.
One of the many concepts that Adam captured was that thinking differently is not a recent phenomenon for Mitch Insurance. If someone was trying to understand the culture of Mitch and reproduce it, they would want to hear from Adam about how using the logic of would it be the end of the world
is a great way to look at change. It’s this mantra that Adam uses as a question to see if something new is worth trying—the results are fascinating.
Adam is open about the brokerage’s growth since he joined it, as well as what brought him into the business. His story is not unlike many others within the retail side of insurance, where an opportunity due to family relation drew him into it, and he found an unexpected passion and success.
