Medicare Agent IQ — A Podcast by TMS Insurance Brokerage

Real-world insights. Proven strategies. Straight from award-winning agency leaders.

What Is Medicare Agent IQ?

Medicare Agent IQ is a podcast created specifically for licensed Medicare agents who want to

grow their book of business with intention and integrity.

Whether you’re brand new or looking to scale your team, this show delivers the actionable

coaching, mindset shifts, and marketing tips that most FMOs never teach.

New episodes drop most weeks, and each one is packed with lessons from agents who’ve built

thriving businesses — and are still in the trenches every day.

Hosted by Two Agents Who’ve Been There

Raul Gonzalez

Raul Gonzalez started in Medicare back in 2007 while working for Humana. After years of learning the hard way (and watching too many good agents fail from lack of marketing support), he launched TMS Insurance Brokerage in 2013. His goal? Help agents succeed without losing their independence.

Oscar Ibieta

Oscar Ibieta was the very first agent Raul ever recruited. That was back in April 2013. Today,

Oscar is a successful MGA with a growing team of his own. His journey from rookie to leader

brings a relatable, boots-on-the-ground perspective to every conversation.

Together, Raul and Oscar talk openly about:

  • Building a brand and book of business from scratch
  • What’s working in Medicare marketing (and what’s not)
  • Coaching agents through tough seasons
  • Automating systems without losing the human touch

Why We Started the Podcast

We launched Medicare Agent IQ in 2020 as an internal coaching tool for our TMS agents. But as our community grew, so did the need for better education industry-wide.

In 2023, we took it public — because too many agents are handed contracts but not the how. Our goal is to fill that gap by sharing everything we’ve learned — from field experience, team building, and working with top carriers across the country.

What You’ll Learn

Each episode is focused and packed with takeaways you can use immediately:

✅ Local marketing tips that actually get results

✅ Referral-building strategies (even if you’re brand new)

✅ CRM and automation tools to save time

✅ Sales scripts, appointment flow, and objection handling

✅ Ways to avoid burnout and stay in the game long-term

Whether you’re a one-person shop or leading a small team, Medicare Agent IQ gives you real

training from real producers — without the fluff.

Lessons from Award-Winning Agency Leaders

When you tune into Medicare Agent IQ, you’re learning from leaders who’ve built high performing agencies and still prioritize mentoring other agents every step of the way.
