Jän was recently featured as a guest on Carol Blonder’s Networking Arizona radio program on 1100 KFNX in Phoenix, where he shared the story behind his insurance agency, his passion for serving clients differently, and the purpose behind his podcast, Above & Beyond: Where Excellence Meets Elevation.
In this conversation, Jän discusses what it means to build trust in business, create meaningful community connections, and use storytelling to highlight the people, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are making an impact. From protecting families and businesses through insurance to elevating voices through podcasting, this episode gives listeners a deeper look at the mission, values, and heart behind Jän’s work.
Tune in to hear an engaging conversation about business, relationships, leadership, community, and what it truly means to go above and beyond.
I had the honor of joining Kate Mayeski for one of the most personal and honest conversations I’ve had on a podcast.
This episode goes far beyond business, insurance, or podcasting. We talked about what it feels like to start something new later in life, the fear of not knowing what you’re doing, and the freedom that comes when you finally stop waiting for permission.
At 54, I launched Above & Beyond without fully understanding podcasting, RSS feeds, or what the journey would actually look like. What I did know was that I wanted to create meaningful conversations with real people — conversations about growth, leadership, reinvention, community, and the stories that shape us.
Kate and I also got into some deeply personal territory: growing up with the name Jan Cary, learning to stop caring so much about what other people think, trusting people deeply, navigating relationships, using humor as a defense and a bridge, and figuring out who you are after decades of building a career in a traditional industry.
This conversation is about reinvention, identity, emotional intelligence, trust, family, business, and what it means to build something meaningful without having the full blueprint.
If you’ve ever felt like you were starting late, making it up as you go, or trying to become more comfortable in your own skin — I think this episode will connect with you.
