  <description><![CDATA[Isn’t there something refreshing about being transparent and calling it how you see it? It’s time for a little honesty. Cease and Desist is a podcast hosted by a group of guys who have sought out to take independent insurance agents to the moon and in doing so have a lot to get off their chest. From insurance to sports to business and beyond, there’s no telling how far they will push the limit. Grab a glass of whiskey and get ready for real talk with Ryan Mathisen, Sean Mulhern, and Andy Mathisen. ]]></description>
