\u201cI found the [insurance] industry to be very dynamic because its different clients all the time, different industries; you\u2019re always learning something new and doing different projects.\u201d \u2014 Ana Lage
\xa0
\u201cAs important as academics and hard knowledge is, having the right attitude is not something that can\u2019t be taught. So surrounding yourself with those kinds of people brings you to a whole different level and you\u2019re way more likely to succeed in anything you attempt.\u201d \u2014 Ana Lage
\xa0
\u201cAs brokers, we\u2019re partnering [with our clients] to improve their business not just from an insurance perspective, but a risk perspective.\u201d \u2014 Ana Lage
\xa0
\u201cThe broker is there to help and to advocate for the client. At the end of the day you need to know who\u2019s protecting your business.\u201d \u2014 Ana Lage

\u201c[Take] advantage of the fact that there are really experienced and good people that are willing to share their stories and willing to share tips.\u201d \u2014 Ana Lage
