Ortez Wells
At 10 years old, I was selling my grandmother’s pies and pralines on the streets of New Orleans. I didn’t know all the business terms. I just knew I wanted to build something of my own.
That drive led me into life insurance in 1999. After Hurricane Katrina brought me to Atlanta, I continued building—and eventually became an agency owner.
Today, I’m an entrepreneur, a partner at ORS Financial Group, and the host of Insure Your Success. My work brings together two things I care deeply about: helping families understand their insurance options and helping agents develop into business owners.
Through the podcast, I share what I’m learning and talk with entrepreneurs about the journey behind the business: the setbacks, the decisions, and the people who make growth possible.
