AI Won't Replace Your Agency, Better Systems Will with Jason Cass & Athena Page

Power Producers Podcast - Jul 01, 2026

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers welcomes Jason Cass and Athena Page from Virtual Intelligence to discuss one of the hottest topics in the insurance industry today: the intersection of artificial intelligence and virtual professionals. The conversation challenges the common belief that AI will replace virtual assistants, arguing instead that agencies with documented processes, well-trained teams, and intentional AI adoption will have a significant competitive advantage. The group explores why standard operating procedures must come before automation, how agency owners should think about deploying AI alongside virtual employees, and why culture, training, and communication remain essential regardless of technology. If you're wondering how AI will reshape insurance agencies over the next five years, this episode offers practical guidance for agency owners who want to grow without sacrificing service or culture.
