On this episode of The Insurance Dudes, hosts Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman sit down with BJ Hill, owner of Summit Insurance in Loveland, Colorado. BJ shares his remarkable journey from college basketball coach to building one of the top insurance agencies in the country, now writing over $18 million in premium. From his early days as a “juco” coach and experiencing a steep learning curve buying his first $3 million agency, to overcoming challenges like passing industry exams and developing his leadership style, BJ gets candid about the grind, the setbacks, and the drive required to scale a business.
Tune in as BJ reveals the secrets to coaching and developing a winning insurance team, the importance of culture and accountability, and the lessons he’s learned from both sports and entrepreneurship. His unique perspective shows how building champions—on the court or in the agency—always comes down to grit, self-awareness, and relentless improvement. Plus, you’ll hear some wild agency stories, tactics for onboarding and motivating staff, and BJ’s best advice for fellow agency owners who want to scale up. Get ready for an inspiring, actionable conversation, packed with real-world insights for insurance pros and business leaders alike!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
