This podcast episode is featuring Britton Johnson, Founding Partner of Voluntary Insurance Partners (VIP). Britton joined us to talk about his journey, his drive, and how VIP is making a difference in the benefits world.

Britton’s story is not just inspiring but also filled with valuable lessons for entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone looking to make their mark. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

Be Pissed Off for Greatness: Britton emphasized the importance of having a fire inside you, a drive to push through obstacles. This mindset helped him persevere and build his own agency despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Focus on Real Needs: VIP specializes in voluntary benefits that matter most during critical times, like when employees or their family members get sick or injured. Their approach is about providing direct financial support to cover everyday expenses, going beyond just paying doctors and hospitals.

Leverage Technology & Adaptation: Starting his agency with just $3,600 and a laptop, Britton created an enrollment platform from the ground up. Now, on version 32 and counting, this technology enables VIP to reach and educate employees in ways traditional methods cannot.
