Elite Agent Talk with Stacy Korsgaden
December 2025 YouTube Interview with Elite Agent Talk
A huge thank you to Stacy Korsgaden, candidate for California Insurance Commissioner, for joining me on this episode and sharing such a clear, courageous vision for fixing our broken insurance market. It was an absolute honor to have her on the show! I’ve known Stacy since we were part of the Farmers family and she’s someone I’ve respected for years for the way she serves clients, leads her team, and stands up for agents.
Now she’s taking that same conviction and experience to fight for all Californians — consumers, agents, and carriers! In this conversation, Stacy and I go deep on:
✅ Her 35-year journey as a Farmers agency owner & President’s Council agent
✅ Why no recent Insurance Commissioner has actually run an agency — and why that matters
✅ How Prop 103, price controls, and delayed rate approvals helped create today’s crisis
✅ Why carriers are pausing new business, pushing people into the FAIR Plan, and leaving California
✅ How competition and free markets actually protect consumers better than over-regulation
✅ What a new Commissioner could realistically change on day one within Prop 103
✅ How AI, innovation, and new capital should be allowed to come into California’s insurance market
✅ What agents and agency owners can do if they resonate with her message
Whether you’re a captive or independent agent, an agency owner, or just a Californian confused and frustrated about your insurance options, I believe this conversation will bring you a lot of clarity — and some hope that this situation is actually fixable with the right leadership. Thank you again, Stacy, for your time, transparency, and willingness to step into this fight for our industry and our state. I know viewers will walk away with a much better understanding of why we’re here and what it would take to turn things around.
