From McDonald’s to Insurance Success: The Ben Bucher Agency Story

Welcome back to The Insurance Dudes! In this episode, our hosts Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman sit down with Ben Bucher, owner of Bucher Family Insurance, for an engaging, honest, and often hilarious conversation about his journey from an aspiring actor and McDonald’s manager to leading a multimillion-dollar insurance agency.

Ben opens up about the wild experiences that shaped his career—including run-ins with a stalker client, near business collapse, and the tough lessons that only entrepreneurship can teach. He shares the pivotal moments that pushed him to grow from scratch in Indiana to acquiring agencies and managing a dynamic, mostly remote team spread from California to Maine.

Get ready for nuggets of wisdom, plenty of laughs, and practical insights that anyone in insurance—or business—can take away and use. This is an episode packed with real stories, actionable advice, and the reminder that even the most successful agents can come home to, well, “poop on the ceiling.” Enjoy the show!Join the elite ranks of P&C agents.
