Description: Today on The InsurTech Leadership Podcast, we’re joined by Trace Meek, a third-generation insurance agency owner turned tech innovator and the CEO of Ask Fetch. After years of battling endless PDFs, Excel files, and underwriting emails, Trace built Ellie AI—a conversational assistant that can answer carrier underwriting questions in seconds. Trace’s story is one of pure practicality: taking real problems from the agency floor and translating them into intelligent automation. We’ll talk about how his team “21×-ed” their agency’s efficiency, the Garbage Can Theory that keeps operations sane, and what AI can realistically do today to help agencies scale smarter.
