Preparing to Prep with Eric Jenson

This episode, titled “Preparing to Prep,” features Erik Jensen, owner of Hatteras Insurance in Florida. Erik shares his background of over 20 years building and leading businesses in sales, consulting, technology, and now insurance, with a strong focus on protecting what matters most. Since moving to Florida four years ago, he’s become especially passionate about helping homeowners and business owners navigate hurricane season with confidence. As an independent insurance agent, Erik works for his clients—not the carriers—prioritizing education, advocacy, and long-term protection.

The conversation centers on hurricane preparedness, particularly the common mistakes people make: waiting too long to review their policy, assuming flood coverage is included, misunderstanding hurricane deductibles, failing to document property before a storm, and not updating coverage after renovations or purchases. Erik emphasizes simple, practical steps listeners can take immediately—reviewing their hurricane deductible, confirming flood insurance, calling their agent for a quick coverage check, and documenting their property with photos or video.

Ultimately, the episode reinforces that preparation isn’t just about insurance policies—it’s about peace of mind. With the right guidance and proactive steps, homeowners and business owners can face hurricane season feeling informed, protected, and supported.
