Episode 293: Harnessing AI for Growth with Daniel Metcalf

Unstoppable Profit Podcast Hosted by Mike Stromsoe

When a speaker leaves an entire room buzzing, you know they’re onto something powerful—and that’s exactly what happened when Daniel Metcalf shared his insights at our Grand Mastermind. In this episode, I finally got him behind the mic to break down what’s really happening at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and independent insurance agency growth.

Daniel, co-founder of CyberFin and a seasoned expert in both AI and security, shares how agencies can stop drowning in AI “features” and start extracting real business benefits. We explore how to build a protected, efficient agency tech stack with AI and automation at the core—freeing up your people, reducing risk, and ultimately driving profitability. Daniel also walks us through how to identify repetitive tasks ripe for automation, the right way to adopt AI tools without compromising data, and why building a custom AI “co-CEO” might be your smartest next move.

Highlights:

• How to identify and automate the most time-consuming, repetitive agency tasks for maximum efficiency gains.
• Why “features fatigue” is real—and how to focus on AI tools that actually deliver measurable ROI.
• What agentic AI is, how it differs from bots, and how it’s quietly reshaping operations in forward-thinking agencies.
• The real risks of unsecured AI use in agencies and how to implement zero-trust, verifiable AI policies.
• How to reverse-engineer your agency’s structure by leading with AI, then layering in VAs and licensed experts.
• Why your first AI move should be building a custom GPT “co-CEO” to guide strategic decisions and save hours of thinking time.
