About Us

Mapogo Careers is a company that draws inspiration from the legendary group of lions that formed a powerful pride that ruled and shaped the lion population in the Sabi Sand region of Kruger National Park. Through teamwork, they were able to achieve so much more. At their peak, they conquered eight other pride territories. Their relentless determination, their tireless quest to improve, their unusual hunting skills of elephants and giraffes, were all remarkable signs of their motivation, strength, resilience, and willingness to learn.

Mapogo Careers, like its namesake, can rule and shape the market with the same traits. We will strive for excellence, be the best in customer relations, and continue to master our products inside and out. We will ensure that we provide the best matched plans and do it professionally. We will make them notice us by doing simple things excellently in this highly competitive market. That is the Mapogo Brand.

Ramon Betances is the founder of Guardian Insurance Services and a licensed Real Estate agent. He moved from the Domincan Republic to the US when he was five years old and adapted quickly to the American way of life. He has overcome many challenges and learned from many mentors to achieve his goals. He is passionate about helping people with their plans and teaching others how to be effective and happy in what they do.

Ramon wasn’t supposed to be a CEO. He grew up in both the Domincan Republic and the states, a city kid in an impoverished neighborhood. Both his parents only spoke Spanish and worked in physical labor. He didn’t excel in school and was told by a school counselor that he would never make more than $25k a year. 

However, Ramon never let that keep him from dreaming big. From a young age he started selling chocolate door to door and he got his first taste of the entrepreneurial bug. Always hungry to make money and have more financial stability he worked as a dishwasher at a hospital and a delivery man for a local pizza parlor. 

He got into Real Estate with the hope of making $100k a year. He never cracked it. It was then a friend brought him into the Life and Health Insurance sales business that his career and finances took off. After 10 years trying to make over 100K in Real Estate, he made over that in ONE year in Insurance. That number has grown significantly since that starting point. 

This business is a unique opportunity and through luck and hard work, Ramon has been able to grow his business far beyond what he or his school counselor ever imagined.

The objective here is not to flex or  impress you, but to press the point of what is possible when you believe, work your ass off towards a vision and take advantage of a door being opened to you.

Ramon never believed he would be here. He would’ve been happy at the start to make $100k a year. But he has always done three things very well:

1. Kept his head down & outworked everyone around him.
2. Never been satisfied. Comfort is his enemy. He wants to be uncomfortable.
3. Always looked for ways to do things better than he did them previously. This is how you start off cold calling T65 lists with a phone older than your grandma, up to where he is now a marketing and promotion force and one of the top agency in Medicare sales. Finding ways to do things better.

You don’t have to be gifted. The only gifts you need is work ethic & belief.

From a tender age, Brenna nurtured grand visions of launching her own enterprise. Much like the trailblazers of the business world, Brenna held onto a fervent belief that she could translate her passions into thriving ventures. Guided by her culinary zeal, she embarked on a culinary delivery venture, which, over time, transformed her ardor into weariness. Similarly, her fervor for dance and personal growth led her to launch a healing enterprise, albeit one that brought about debt and vexation. Our society often romanticizes the path of entrepreneurship, showcasing tales of monumental triumphs, yet it fails to shed light on the fact that a significant majority of startups meet challenges.

Amidst the trials and tribulations, Brenna found herself entangled in a belief that financial hardship was her perpetual companion. And then came forth Life Insurance and Medicare – topics not conventionally deemed exciting. However, it's often the seemingly unremarkable elements that possess a foundation of reliability and strength. As Brenna ventured into this realm, her financial trajectory underwent a complete transformation. A new chapter unfurled as she purchased a home, whisked her family away on a memorable European escapade, and discovered a sense of liberation that once seemed elusive.

What's most astonishing is that Brenna's affinity for this field has only flourished, rekindling her innovative spirit and entrepreneurial drive. Amidst the mundane narratives of the business world, Brenna's story shines as a testament to the unforeseen avenues of success that open up when one ventures beyond the conventional, embracing stability and passion in a harmonious dance.
