  •     Joseph Maddock- Maddock Insurance Group
                                  

    How many years have you been in business and what inspired you to start/purchase/work with this business? I’ve been in insurance since 2009 and sold my first agency in 2022 just before starting Maddock Insurance Group. The purpose of Maddock Insurance Group is to reshape the way people in Jefferson County think about and use healthcare. Most Americans believe the healthcare system is broken - an alternative viewpoint says the healthcare system isn’t broken at all, it is working exactly as it was designed to and it WASN’T designed for you. Helping businesses and families improve their relationship with healthcare is what drives me.

    What is your background and how did you develop your skill set?  I was young when I started out, so when the bosses said, “we are the only ones doing right by our clients,” I believed them. I switched companies, the new bosses said, “we are the only ones doing right by our clients.” …I realized different people have different needs at different times. This realization plus an often-annoying level of competitiveness has turned me into a serial learner with a broad range of interests.

    What has been your biggest success to date? The most impactful success was losing 100lbs over two years. The habits I had to form to reach that goal and the energy boost that came has helped immensely in business. It also made me understand that nothing happens unless you “DO” something.

    What has been your biggest challenge?  There’s nothing unique to this answer – time. Finding enough to accomplish all you want to accomplish is and always will be a challenge. It’s our most important finite resource.

    What inspires you to hit the ground running each morning?  I am attempting to improve people’s lives. Healthcare and health insurance are confusing and scary but extremely important. I want to replace fear with hope in people’s minds and arm them with the understanding necessary to make good choices and save real money. If that doesn’t get you up in the morning, I don’t know what will.

     What’s an interesting fact about your business that most people don’t know?  I do more than just ‘sell insurance’. I serve as an advisor, or consultant, for small businesses who are just getting started, for other health insurance agents, and for large businesses looking to fix certain aspects of their healthcare spend.

    As someone doing business in Arnold, how does the Chamber help you?  The Chamber gives us a platform to create change. It is a group of stakeholders coming together to improve commerce, build wealth, and contribute to civic pride – if we help each other, we will all prosper. As Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.” 

     When you’re not working, what is your favorite thing to be doing?  Depends on the time of year but if I’m not playing with my kids, I’m probably playing hockey, riding my motorcycle, smoking cigars, hunting, or working out.
