Not every broker wants to sell. This fireside chat profiles leaders who are growing on their own terms, without private equity, without a head office, and without losing control. The conversation focuses on the mindset, structure, and decisions that support independent growth in a consolidating market. Speakers will share how they’ve built teams, protected culture, and found funding while staying outside of M&A pipelines. It’s a candid discussion about the realities of growing without selling out, and why some brokers believe that’s still the best route forward.
- What are sustainable strategies for growing without selling to consolidators?
- How do broker leaders build scalable cultures and processes?
- What is the role of networks, MGAs, or partnerships in enabling growth?
- How can brokers compete on service when they can’t compete on price?
- What leadership skills are essential for founders who want to scale?
