During the podcast Miller shared, “Our goal was that if anyone wanted to be a business owner of any kind, they should want to be a Brightway franchisee because [the ROI] that’s possible is the highest, and the risk to achieving it is the lowest.”

Brightway started as an idea between Miller and his brother David, who had experience in the insurance industry. With Michael’s background in sales and technology, the two wanted to change the way people interacted with insurance and empower franchisees to reach their full potential through Brightway Agency ownership.

More important than having experience in insurance, Brightway focuses on finding the right business partner.

“More than half of our franchisees have no insurance experience,” said Miller, during the interview. “Our highest producing agents and our highest grossing franchisees, the majority had no insurance experience before coming on.”

Brightway focuses on intangible qualities that allow someone to be successful, and the company looks to its core values of Smart, Accountable, and Trustworthy to find the right people to partner with.

“When someone becomes my partner as a franchisee, I take that very seriously,” Miller said. “To watch people take their hard-earned money, make a change in their career and invest in the business we’re going to build together, that’s a leap of faith. To be appreciative of that trust, but deliver so much value back to those franchisees and watch them not just achieve what they hoped to achieve, but far eclipse it—that to me is what’s amazing about Brightway.”
