What Is Medicare Agent IQ?

A podcast built for agents who want to grow with intention and integrity.

Medicare Agent IQ is created specifically for licensed Medicare agents who want to grow their book of business the right way. 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.

Your Hosts

Hosted by two agents who've been there.

Raul Gonzalez

Founder, TMS Insurance Brokerage

Raul 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

MGA & Team Leader

Oscar was the very first agent Raul ever recruited, 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

Too many agents are handed contracts — but not the how.

2020

It began as an internal coaching tool

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

2023

We took it public

Because too many agents are handed contracts but not the how, we opened the show to everyone — sharing everything we've learned from field experience, team building, and working with top carriers across the country.
