Episode Details

In this episode of the Insurance Perspectives podcast, host Brad Boldt is joined by Michael Ley, HawkSoft Director of Networks, to discuss choosing the right network and conducting effective technology audits. Michael shares practical guidance on how agencies should evaluate networks, identify red flags in contracts, and avoid common mistakes that can lead to costly exits or misalignment.
