On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, R. Dean Giem, president of Paradox Insurance Agency in Kalispell, Montana, and a self-described tech geek, explains how he's taken the spirit of learning into industry leadership while serving as past chairman of NetVU's executive board of directors and on AUGIE Group's executive council.

 “You're either growing or you're dying," Giem says. “If you're not embracing technology in a way that's moving your organization forward or moving the industry forward, it's not going to be something that's sustainable in the long term."

Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success, and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today.
