Having developed Iscential from a scratch company in Jersey Village, TX, Barhorst’s company is now the number one Nationwide Insurance Agency in the United States with $120 million in sales and is licensed in over 35 states throughout the country. Iscential is frequently featured on Inc. magazine’s 5000 fastest growing private companies list.

With his compelling entrepreneurial drive, Barhorst also authored “Game Plan… The Definitive Playbook for Starting or Growing Your Business” and “Game Plan… The Definitive Playbook for Selling in the Connection Culture.” All conference attendees will receive a hardback copy of the second book, upon check in.

“Of the dozens of influential writers and speakers I have come across in my 30 plus years of professional business management, Warren is at the top of that list. This is something you don’t want to miss,” said Wright.

Barhorst’s Keynote is a DKI-exclusive event for Connect 2020, being held in conjunction with RIA’s International Restoration Convention and Industry Expo April 13 through 16 in New Orleans. Registration is available online at 2020.restorationindustry.org/registration.
