In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim sits down with John Norbut, the founder of Reliable Risk Management. With nearly two decades of experience in the insurance and bonding world—especially in construction—John shares the inside story of how he grew a boutique agency in Phoenix into a trusted partner for contractors and businesses across Arizona.
John opens up about his unique career path, starting from laboring on job sites to becoming a key problem-solver and advocate for business owners navigating complex risk. He breaks down what "bonded and insured" really means, why relationships matter in insurance, and how his old-school approach has helped him achieve 13 years of double-digit growth.
From explaining how construction bonds work to the impact of private equity in his industry, John offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone looking to build sustainable success with integrity.

What sets his agency apart in a competitive, consolidating industry
