Inspiring Conversations with Jake Warren of Warren & Mounce Agency Inc

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jake Warren

Hi Jake, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I began my insurance career with State Farm, where I spent seven years gaining a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Recognizing our desire for greater control over our business and the opportunity to build a valuable asset, my wife Mikayla Warren and I transitioned to the independent insurance channel. This strategic move enabled us to establish our own brokerage, and we are now entering our fourth year of operation.

Our agency has become one of the fastest-growing in Missouri. With a team of eight licensed agents, we are authorized to operate in 33 states and offer a full spectrum of personal and commercial insurance solutions. Our goal is to provide a one-stop shop for all our clients’ insurance needs.

Before embarking on my professional career, I grew up in a blue-collar family with a strong emphasis on hard work. I was deeply involved in sports and outdoor activities from a young age, and my competitive nature was evident early on. At 13, I began working by hauling hay and mowing lawns, experiences that instilled in me a strong work ethic and a clear understanding of diligence.

After high school, I explored various job opportunities before returning to college, where I faced challenges and did not succeed in my first semester. Despite this setback, I found my path in the insurance industry, obtaining my license shortly thereafter. I have now been dedicated to the field for 10 years, bringing a wealth of experience and commitment to my work.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey has not always been smooth for us. The insurance market has presented significant challenges over the past four years, largely due to the fact that the industry relies on data from 3-4 years prior. Despite these obstacles, our mindset remains: “We never lose; we learn.” We view setbacks as valuable learning experiences.

While many in the insurance industry might perceive these challenges as negative, we see them as opportunities. We greatly value customer loyalty, but we recognize that consistently rising rates lead many to shop around for better options. This situation provides us with the chance to earn their business.

Looking ahead, I believe the future of insurance lies in offering diverse options. As brokers, we are well-positioned to provide a wide range of choices to meet our clients’ needs.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
The most important qualities contributing to my success are hard working, consistency, and resilience.

Hard work drives me to put in the effort necessary to achieve goals and overcome obstacles. It ensures that I am always striving for excellence and delivering high-quality results.

Consistency allows me to build trust and reliability. By consistently applying effort and maintaining high standards, I create dependable outcomes and foster strong relationships with clients and colleagues.

Resilience enables me to navigate challenges and adapt to changing circumstances. It helps me view setbacks as opportunities for growth and stay focused on long-term goals, even in the face of adversity. I have never been the smartest, strongest, or fastest, but I have always come out on top. I believe this mindset stems from my ability to view my losses as opportunities to become a better person, husband, friend, and leader.
