Today we’d like to introduce you to Manuel Trillo.
Hi Manuel, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started with nothing but faith, grit, and a deep desire to change my family’s story. I come from humble beginnings, where struggle was the teacher and responsibility came early. That foundation taught me two things — to work hard and to serve others.
Insurance wasn’t my first dream, but it became my calling. I realized protecting families is one of the most powerful ways to build generational wealth and peace of mind. What began as one policy turned into a mission — to educate, empower, and elevate our communities through knowledge and opportunity.
Today, as the founder of Trillo Insurance Group, my purpose is bigger than business. It’s about legacy — protecting what people love, inspiring others to lead, and showing that faith, vision, and consistency can take you from survival to significance.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The road has been full of challenges, from financial struggles and personal losses to moments of doubt where I questioned if the vision was even possible. But those moments built me.
Starting from zero meant I had to learn every part of the business — sales, service, leadership, culture — all while staying true to my purpose. There were seasons when doors closed, people walked away, and faith was the only thing that kept me standing.
But pressure builds character. Every obstacle became a lesson, every setback a setup. The struggles refined my vision — to build something that not only succeeds, but serves.
We’ve been impressed with Trillo Insurance Group , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Trillo Insurance Group isn’t just an agency — it’s a movement. We specialize in property and casualty insurance, but what we’re really known for is how we do business. We protect families, empower communities, and help people build generational wealth through education and proper coverage.
We lead with our “Triple C’s” — Culture, Connections, and Community Building. Those three values shape everything we do. Our culture is built on excellence and heart. Our connections are rooted in trust and service. And our community work reminds us that business is bigger than profit — it’s about purpose.
What sets us apart is that we don’t just sell policies; we build relationships that last generations. I’m proud that our brand has become a trusted name — one that represents integrity, education, and opportunity.
At Trillo Insurance Group, we don’t chase clients — we attract impact. We’re here to protect what you’ve built, so you can focus on building what’s next.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
Absolutely. No great story is written alone. I’ve been blessed with mentors, friends, and teammates who believed in me long before I had it all figured out.
My faith is the foundation — God opened doors I couldn’t open myself. My family taught me humility and hard work, and my team at Trillo Insurance Group turned vision into reality through consistency and heart.
Leaders and organizations like NAHREP and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce shaped me, showing that community and collaboration can move mountains. And of course, our clients and partners — their trust fuels my mission every day.
What’s next is expansion with intention. Trillo Insurance Group is growing in both reach and impact — building offices, empowering new agents, and educating families on how to protect and grow what they’ve built.
Personally, I’m stepping deeper into leadership and mentorship, helping others find purpose in their profession and excellence in their execution. Because true success isn’t what you accumulate — it’s what you empower others to achieve.
The mission is bigger than insurance; it’s about building legacies, not limits. The road ahead is all about faith, integrity, and impact — proving that when purpose drives you, success will always follow.
Pricing:
- The average Texas homeowner pays between $1,800–$2,800 a year for insurance, but bundling home and auto can lower costs by up to 25%.
- The typical auto policy runs $130–$180 per month, with safe drivers and low mileage earning the biggest discounts
- Landlord and rental property coverage costs about 20% more than a standard policy, but it protects your income and liability as an investor.
- Many coastal homeowners don’t realize wind and hail coverage is often a separate policy, leaving them exposed during storms.
- For under $20 a month, an umbrella policy can add $1 million in extra protection — turning peace of mind into one of the smartest investments you can make.
