Joshua Walters
Owner, Safeguard Insurance · 2024 OKCYP Leadership Program graduate.
Through relationship-driven leadership, consistency, and a willingness to step outside his comfort zone, Joshua has built a growing reputation within Oklahoma City's business community. He believes success is built through trust, discipline, and showing up even when it's uncomfortable — earning respect through actions and service rather than expecting it automatically. Inspired by mentor TK Hendrickson, he made the leap into insurance and sales, focused on becoming a trusted resource for individuals, families, and businesses across OKC.
"Respect isn't given automatically — it's earned through consistency, discipline, and showing up even when it's uncomfortable."
