In this episode of The Insurance Refocused Podcast, Lindsay and Carey Wallace welcome Beth DeLaForest back to the show to talk about Launchpad, a new webinar series designed to help the next generation of insurance professionals learn, grow, and build meaningful industry connections.
Beth and Carey share why knowledge transfer matters more than ever as experienced leaders prepare to exit the industry and younger professionals step into bigger roles. They discuss the value of mentorship, outside perspectives, peer relationships, and learning from leaders who have already walked the road ahead.
The conversation also highlights the heart behind Launchpad: creating a free, collaborative space where future leaders can hear from experienced voices across the industry on topics like leadership, delegation, imposter syndrome, AI, and building confidence in their careers.
