Why David Carothers Avoids Industry Hires and How It Fuels His Agency’s Success

Welcome to this episode of The Insurance Dudes, where hosts Jason and Craig sit down for a high-energy, no-holds-barred conversation with the dynamic David Carothers.

David shares his unconventional journey from a college baseball player and retail worker living off macaroni and cheese to running a powerhouse commercial insurance agency in Tampa. In this episode, you'll hear how David's unique hiring process—bringing in producers from outside the insurance industry—and his out-of-the-box, yet structured approach have set his agency apart. He talks candidly about building a resilient culture, the importance of self-belief, and getting creative within the strict confines of insurance regulations. With plenty of laughs, practical advice, and raw insights, David lays out exactly what it takes to thrive in this business, even when the odds—and your bank account—are stacked against you.

Whether you're new to insurance or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with the energy and wisdom you need to go out and get it.
