🚨 NEW SERIES: YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP—INSURANCE AGENT EDITION 🚨

Your husband is mowing the lawn.

He runs over a wrench that someone “forgot” in the grass.

The mower launches it directly through the windshield of your car. 🔧🚗💥

After confirming that nobody died—and resisting the urge to list your husband on Facebook Marketplace—you call your insurance agent.

WHICH POLICY PAYS FOR THE WINDSHIELD?

🏠 A. Homeowners insurance
🚗 B. Auto insurance
💍 C. Your husband’s life insurance
😭 D. None—you’re completely screwed

Drop your answer below! 👇

We’ll reveal the answer tomorrow.

⚠️ Insurance policies and circumstances vary. This scenario is for entertainment and education—not permission to leave tools in your yard.

🛑 WAIT—DON’T SWITCH INSURANCE COMPANIES YET!

💡 DID YOU KNOW? — TIP #1

Can you believe your insurance agent doesn’t automatically know when something changes in your life? 😂

We don’t know that:

🏠 You started working from home
🚗 Your commute or annual mileage changed
👨‍👩‍👧 Someone moved in—or moved out
🎓 A young driver went away to college
💍 You got married
🔨 You renovated your home
💵 You paid off your vehicle or mortgage

Unless you tell us!

Those changes could affect your coverage, discounts, or how your policy should be rated. If we don’t know about them, we can’t help make sure your policy is accurate—or check whether you’re paying more than you need to.

Before jumping to another insurance company, ask your agent for a full policy review. Sometimes the best savings are hiding right inside the policy you already have!

🚨 NEXT WEEK’S TIP:

Think paying after the due date is harmless because you have a “grace period”? We’re going to explain what’s already happening behind the scenes when your payment is late—and how it could cost you later.

DID YOU KNOW?

Being a “good insurance customer” can actually help you get better rates.

And no — we don't mean never having a claim.

There are things YOU can do that can make a difference in what you pay for insurance — and some of them might surprise you.

Over the next few weeks, we're going to share some simple tips about:

• What insurance companies actually look at
• Things that can quietly drive your rates up
• When you should call your agent BEFORE making a change
• Discounts you may be missing
• Why the cheapest quote isn't always the cheapest option
• And how to make yourself more attractive to insurance companies

Because we'd rather teach you how insurance works than just tell you what it costs.

TIP #1 Teaser: One of the easiest ways to lower your insurance costs — and it has absolutely nothing to do with changing companies.

🚜 It's Pageant of Steam week! 🚜
One of our favorite clients, the New York Steam Engine Association, is kicking off the 66th Annual Pageant of Steam, and we couldn't be more excited!
We're proud to be the Risk Managers behind an event that brings together antique equipment, demonstrations, vendors, food, entertainment, and thousands of visitors each year. Events like this don't just happen—they take an army of dedicated volunteers and a lot of planning.
So if you're looking for something fun to do this week, head over to Canadaguia, support an incredible organization, and while you're there, thank a volunteer. ❤️
And remember... while they're busy making memories, we're busy making sure the "what ifs" don't get in the way.
Have an amazing week, NYSEA! We are proud to be part of your team

We are just hours away from the opening of the 66th Annual Pageant of Steam!
We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the many volunteers who have worked tirelessly all summer, and especially over the last few weeks, to make this show possible.
From maintaining engines, planning and constructing projects, building bleachers, mowing the grounds, working in the office, keeping the books, cleaning buildings, and preparing the Kids' Activities—countless hours have been given by so many dedicated people. It truly takes an incredible team to make the Pageant of Steam happen.
To every volunteer who has shared their time, talent, and hard work... thank you! We couldn't do it without you.
Now let's all enjoy a fantastic show! And remember, everyone you see working at the Pageant is a volunteer. Please be patient, be kind, and don't forget to thank those who are helping make your visit a great one.
See you at the show!

Did you know that VFIS-insured departments have access to outstanding training opportunities like this Emergency Vehicle Driver Training (Instructor Level) class in South Butler/Savannah on September 12–13? These education programs are part of what makes VFIS more than just an insurance company—they're a true partner in helping keep your members safe.

As an independent agent, I can write VFIS policies for fire departments and emergency service organizations.

If your department is already insured with VFIS...awesome! Take advantage of the incredible training, risk management resources, and member benefits that come with your policy. They invest heavily in helping departments prevent losses—not just paying claims.

If you're not with VFIS, it may be worth taking a second look.

🔥 Coverage designed specifically for the unique risks of fire and EMS organizations.

🔥 Industry-leading risk management, education, and hands-on training resources.

🔥 Access to valuable classes like this Emergency Vehicle Driver Training at no cost for eligible VFIS-insured departments.

🔥 Many departments discover that VFIS provides outstanding value—not only through specialized coverage, but through the training, support, and resources that help protect firefighters before a claim ever happens.

If you'd like a no-pressure coverage review or a quote to see how your current program compares, I'd be happy to help. You may be surprised by what's available to your department.

📩 Message me today for details on coverage or to learn more about this training opportunity!

🚒 Protect your department. Protect your volunteers. Invest in training.

I think it's important to recognize people who truly earn it.

I may be a little biased, but I've had the privilege of working with this client since day one—one truck, one man, and a dream. Over the years, I've watched him build his business the right way: through hard work, integrity, determination, and a commitment to doing things right.

Today, he's running a fleet, and this beautiful new truck is just another milestone in a journey that has been years in the making. Success doesn't happen overnight, and it's especially rewarding to see good people achieve the goals they've worked so hard for.

Congratulations on the new addition to the fleet. It's well deserved, and I can't wait to see what's next. 🚛👏

Just hanging out under bridges in Pittsburgh!

Thank you Jason Carello for the help with our newest addition to the fleet!

We also couldn’t do any of this without our partnership with Market Alternatives LLC and Jennifer Rice

Thank you for helping us keeping G3 moving & growing!
