Building the first AI Insurance agent.

About

I grew up poor—power shut off, bill collectors at dinner. Addiction was close, and those years taught me what I didn’t want. Then I met Jesus as a teenager and my path changed. I’m a builder. As a kid I wasn’t dreaming of being the star; I studied the owners. That drive showed up early: middle-school hustles, a church-plant attempt at 20, married my high-school sweetheart at 19, house at 21, kids by 24, VP at 28. I’ve sold to SMBs at Apple, built a roofing window division to $5M, and helped scale a Medicare brokerage to $100M in three years. I saw insurance from carrier, claims, and broker. It’s opaque by design. Samurai Insurance is my answer: an AI-powered brokerage for waymakers—saving money, getting coverage right, and making one hard thing simple so you can keep going. Lord willing.

How do you treat your competition? Is your stance more adversarial or friendly?

I ve noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors.

Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition.

How much money would you be willing to spend from your own savings to start a business?

Are you the kind of person who believes in your dream enough to burn through most of your savings on it?

For millionaires, this might not be a big deal, but what about people with a typical 9 5 job? I see how much a solid marketing campaign costs on just one platform (often the monthly expense is equal to at least a full year s salary).

The day before yesterday, a friend told me he and his wife are closing their restaurant, which they opened just six months ago. They had taken a loan for it, which makes it even worse.

Which pricing model is working for you?

For years, SaaS pricing revolved around seats.

If you're adding more teammates then pay more.

This was simple, predictable and scalable.
