    The real ROI of relationships

    Send us a text In this episode, Alane shares how joining the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program completely reshaped the way she approaches business growth—and why no founder should try to build alone. What started as a 12-week crash course on scaling a company became something far more powerful: a network of entrepreneurs who understand the highs, lows, and relentless pressure of running a business. From presenting on stage in front of thousands to finding real friendships that extend beyond business, Alane and Micah discuss how community isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s essential. You’ll hear: Why joining the right peer group can accelerate growth faster than any marketing strategyHow to find communities that genuinely support founders (and not just sell to them)The long-term impact of relationships built through programs like Goldman Sachs 10KSB and EOWhat isolation costs leaders—and how connection restores purpose and perspectiveWhy investing time in people creates exponential returns for both your business and your wellbeingFor founders used to doing it all themselves, this episode is a powerful reminder: your network is the one system that can’t be automated—but it will scale everything else you do.

    Find out what AI and Agents can’t fix

    Send us a text In this episode, Alane and Micah tackle one of the biggest misconceptions about AI agents — the idea that they can magically fix broken workflows. They unpack why automation only works when the underlying process is solid, clear, and well-defined. They share real stories from their own experience, including how strategy and design make up 80% of the work in building automated systems, and why slowing down to document and standardize your processes can actually make you move faster later. You’ll hear: Why AI agents can’t save a poorly structured workflowHow to identify when you’re ready to automate (and when you’re not)Why the design phase is the most valuable part of any automation projectHow to document, diagram, and break large systems into smaller, achievable workflowsThe importance of starting small and improving over timeIf you’ve ever been tempted to “throw AI at a problem,” this episode will show you how to rethink automation so it actually works — and how to build a process your agents, and your team, can rely on.

    ClickUp Sprints aren’t just for Dev teams

    Send us a text In this episode, Micah and Beau share the behind-the-scenes changes that reshaped how their team manages client work. After years of juggling multiple projects, they decided to shift their entire production and implementation process into one-week sprints using ClickUp. They walk through how their system works. From organizing client folders, using parent and sub-tasks to keep ownership clear, and relying on sprint reports to plan, forecast, and manage workload in real time. The result has been smoother communication, stronger accountability, and a noticeable jump in team performance. You’ll learn: How moving from workload views to sprints simplified scheduling and reduced chaosWhy separating parent tasks from sub-tasks creates clarity for both project managers and developersHow ClickUp’s sprint reporting helps forecast team capacity and track progressSimple ways to monitor task types, priorities, and workload balanceThe benefits of giving your team structure and flexibility at the same timeIf you manage ongoing client projects or lead a production team that’s drowning in deadlines, this conversation shows how one practical change can bring organization, momentum, and focus back to your operations.

    Monday.com Magic: AI-Powered Project Set Up

    Send us a text What if you could describe a process and have a working Monday.com system appear—complete with connected boards, forms, sample data, and dashboards?  In this episode, Micah and Beau dive into Monday Magic (monday.com/magic), a free tool that turns prompts into fully built Monday structures. You’ll hear a live walkthrough—from first prompt to preview video—plus candid pros/cons on where it shines and where you’ll still want an implementation specialist. They cover limitations (no native automations yet, light sub-item support), why its agent-style “planning then building” is so useful for prototyping, and smart ways teams can use it to align on structure before investing in a full build.  If you’re choosing a work management platform or want faster ways to get from idea to system, this is a must-listen. You’ll learn: How Monday Magic converts a plain-English prompt into connected boards, forms, and starter dashboardsWhere it stops (automations, sub-items) and how to bridge the gapA practical workflow: prototype with Magic → push to Monday → refine structure and add automationsWhen to keep it simple vs. when to design a multi-board systemHow managers and implementers can collaborate using the AI-generated preview videoGive it a go for yourself: https://monday.com/magic Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links.

    Stop Chasing the "One Thing" That Will Fix Everything

    Send us a text Many founders approach automation with a single idea in mind: “If I just automate this one thing, everything will get better.” But the truth is, businesses aren’t built on one system—they run on dozens of interconnected ones. In this episode of Automate Your Agency, Alane and Micah challenge the “one workflow” mindset and show why real freedom comes from systemizing the entire business, not just automating a single task. They share stories from their own experiences—mergers, exits, and client work—on how building layered systems can reduce employee overhead, eliminate bottlenecks, and even increase a company’s valuation. You’ll learn: Why no business truly has “just one process”How to shift from transactional fixes to long-term systemizationThe risks of relying on institutional knowledge trapped in people’s headsHow systemization supports different founder goals (taking time off, changing roles, exiting, or building a legacy)Practical ways to prioritize what to automate first—based on impact, not just feelingsIf you’ve ever felt stuck in the day-to-day of your business or wondered how to prioritize what to systemize next, this episode will give you the roadmap—and the mindset shift—to get started. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Priority Impact Report: Stop guessing where you business is broken! Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links.
