Ron Hocutt has been immersed in the insurance ecosystem since 1993, bringing together deep technology expertise, agency ownership experience, and a relentless focus on real-world value.
With degrees in computer science and an MBA, Ron began his career on the cutting edge of electronic publishing for major insurance carriers before moving into a leadership role at AMS/Vertafore in 2003. He later spent 17 years as an independent agency owner, giving him firsthand insight into the operational, financial, and strategic challenges agency leaders face every day.
Ron is an adjunct faculty member for the Risk & Insurance Education Alliance, teaching agency management within the CIC program. He's passionate about education, thoughtful use of technology, and helping agencies cut through complexity to focus on what truly creates value.

Leigh Anne Coleman brings more than 25 years of professional experience spanning insurance sales, commercial underwriting, agency operations, business management, and agency growth coaching.
Having worked in sales, underwriting, financial operations, and business management, Leigh Anne understands how the different parts of a business must work together, as well as the challenges that arise when they don't.
For the past seven years, Leigh Anne served as an Agency Growth Coach with Mississippi Insurance Alliance, an SIAA Master Agency, working directly with independent insurance agency owners to strengthen their businesses. Her experience includes revenue development, profitability improvement, sales and production strategy, carrier relationships, agency management systems, technology, financial processes, and operational development.
Through this work, she developed a strong understanding that successful agency growth requires more than increased production. It requires the right systems, structure, leadership, and operational foundation to support that growth.
Today, as a consultant with The Greenhouse at Angela Adams Consulting, Leigh Anne works with independent insurance agency owners navigating the challenges of starting, managing, or growing their businesses. Whether the obstacle is operational inefficiency, limited capacity, leadership challenges, or uncertainty about the next stage of growth, she helps owners identify what needs attention and develop a practical path forward.
Leigh Anne understands that behind every agency is an owner balancing the demands of running a business with the responsibility of moving it forward. She believes effective consulting begins with listening, understanding the challenges, and providing the knowledge, guidance, and support needed to turn decisions into action.

Agency owners in the Greenhouse share what changed once they had a clear plan, a repeatable process, and a consultant in their corner.
One flat monthly membership. No contracts, no commitments, cancel anytime — just the support a growing agency actually needs.
Quick answers to the questions agencies most often ask before joining.
Small, owner-led, growth-minded agencies in early or transitional stages. It's ideal for agencies with limited internal resources or budget that want clarity on where they are today and what comes next — practical guidance tailored to your stage, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Not at all. Greenhouse is also for small agencies that want to grow but aren't sure what to do, or when. If growth feels possible but the path isn't clear, you're exactly who this is built for.
Greenhouse provides growth-focused guidance built around the stage your agency is in right now. Instead of pushing generic solutions or rushing decisions, the focus is on what matters most today, what can wait, and how to move toward your goals without making growth harder than it needs to be.
Very. You work with a dedicated consultant each month to shape ideas, stay focused, and keep momentum moving forward — practical, ongoing, and built around your agency.
$200 per month. No contracts, no commitments — cancel anytime.
