The Prestizia Protection Playbook
Real Stories. Real Protection. Real Business Insurance.
By John Crist, CPBL — President, Prestizia Insurance
Published by Tremendous Life Books | Available on Amazon
Most business owners think they are protected. Most of them are wrong.
After 30 years in commercial insurance, John Crist has been inside the claims. He has seen restaurants shut down by a single wet floor. Contractors lose everything over a missed policy exclusion. Business owners discover in the worst possible moment that the coverage they believed they had does not exist the way they thought it did.
The Prestizia Protection Playbook is the book he wrote so you never have to learn those lessons the hard way.
What This Book Is
This is not a textbook. It is not a policy manual. It is not a sales pitch.
The Prestizia Protection Playbook is 30 years of real-world commercial insurance experience distilled into a practical guide every business owner can actually use. Written in plain language — no jargon, no filler, no confusion — it gives you the foundation to make smarter decisions about how your business is protected.
Every chapter tackles a specific coverage type that business owners either misunderstand, underestimate, or overlook entirely. And every chapter is anchored in real stories — real claims, real losses, real consequences — from three decades in the field.
Real Stories. Real Protection. Real Business Insurance.
