Why Personal Growth & Ethical Business Practices Matter with Special Guest Galen Hair

Because Experience Matters with Jack Hanks

Jack sits down with Galen Hair—renowned property casualty attorney and founder of the Level Up Claims Summit. Based in New Orleans, Galen has long stood out not only for his legal expertise but also for his commitment to integrity, personal development, and industry education.

What started as a frustration with flashy, sales-heavy events evolved into a vision: a one-day, high-impact summit with zero “pay-to-play” and a 100% focus on real growth. Launched in 2021, Level Up is now in its fourth year, curated to provide business owners, adjusters, and contractors with actionable insights—not sales pitches. With sessions ranging from ethical AI applications to leadership coaching and business automation, Galen’s event isn’t just about claims—it’s about character.

What makes Level Up different is its intimacy and intention. Capped at 200 attendees and held at Galen’s own facility, it’s invite-only and free to attend (with a refundable deposit). The goal? To create a safe, collaborative space where the right people can connect, learn, and elevate together. “You don’t need another conference about shingles,” Galen says. “You need a space that makes you better at being a person, a leader, and a professional.”

The 2025 summit promises cutting-edge content, including international AI experts and leadership coaches who rarely speak publicly. But beyond the line-up, it’s the culture Galen has built—rooted in mentorship, ethics, and practical excellence—that keeps people coming back.

As Jack put it best, Level Up is Galen. It’s a reflection of his humility, clarity, and drive to raise the bar in a too-often chaotic industry. For those seeking more than just CE credits or vendor booths, this is where real transformation begins.

The Level Up Claims Summit returns June 13, 2025, in Metairie, Louisiana.
