Agency Leadership in the Age of AI: Digital Relevance in the age of AI
On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, Kasey Connors, executive director of the Big “I” Agents Council for Technology (ACT), dives into one of the most important themes from the 2026 Tech Trends Report: digital relevance in an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven world.
Joined by Richard MackCoy of Experience.com, the conversation explores how search behavior is rapidly evolving—from traditional Google queries to conversational, AI-powered recommendations—and what that means for independent insurance agents trying to stay visible online.
“Right now, the conversation totally changes and agents have the ability to be surfaced in those results based on their structured data,” Mackoy says. “It’s not just the same top three people hitting the top of Google anymore. AI is looking at all of those data points”
