    Built to Sell: Client Account Management That Runs Without You

    Send us Fan Mail If your agency stops the moment you step away, that’s not a client problem; it’s a systems problem. And it’s one that has a very clear solution. I sat down with Taylor McMaster, founder of DOT & Company, to talk about the client account management model she built over nearly seven years that quietly freed hundreds of agency owners from the meeting cycle, the email threads, and the feeling that every client relationship depends on them personally. Taylor didn’t just build a service. She built a business she could fully step away from, taking six months off without touching Slack or Asana, and then successfully exited through an acquisition by E2M Solutions. The proof of concept is the life she lived while building it. If you’ve ever told yourself your clients only want you, this episode is going to challenge that story and give you a real path forward. Books Mentioned Buy Back Your Time by Dan MartellCrucial Conversations by Joseph GrennyThe Compound Effect by Darren Hardy To learn more about how DOT & Company can remove you from the day-to-day of client management, head to dotandcompany.co. You can also connect with Taylor directly on LinkedIn; she’s very active there and would love to meet you.

    The Nearshore Talent Advantage That's Scaling US Agencies Fast

    Send us Fan Mail If you've tried building a remote team and lost weeks to time zone gaps, miscommunication, and the slow grind of async feedback, this episode is your pivot point. I sat down with Brian Samson, founder of Plugg Technologies, a leading nearshore firm connecting Latin American talent with US companies. Brian has spent over 10 years in the nearshoring space, lived as an expat in Argentina, and grown three separate companies from zero to $4M ARR each. He's made 500+ placements and earned the pattern recognition most agency owners don't have yet. We unpacked why nearshore talent from Latin America is one of the most underused advantages in the agency world: US time zone alignment, cultural fluency, and a scrappy resilience that's almost impossible to hire for domestically. Brian also shared the costly founder mistake he made (so you don't have to): trying to buy sales instead of learning to sell. If your agency's growth is stalling, the answer might not be a better system; it might be better people. And they might be closer than you think.

    High Integrity Sales: Scaling Without Selling Your Soul

    Send us Fan Mail If selling has ever felt like a betrayal of who you are, this episode will rewrite that story. I sat down with Justin Janowski, founder of Faith to Influence, where he helps Christian entrepreneurs master high-integrity sales. Over thousands of sales calls and millions of dollars in deals closed, Justin has built a reputation for something rare: a sales approach that is generous, honest, and genuinely win-win, whether the prospect buys or not. Justin's journey wasn't a straight line. He launched two businesses that didn't survive. He quit a stable job with a newborn baby and a wife who had left her career to support the family. And on his third attempt, armed with a system rooted in high-integrity sales principles, he did over $250,000 in revenue in year one, against a goal of $60,000. What you'll hear in this episode isn't theory. It's the real cost of conviction, and the proven framework for building a business that doesn't require you to compromise who you are to grow. If you've been doing all the right things but still feel stuck in your sales process, this conversation is for you.

    Heart First: How Servant Leader Culture Actually Gets Built

    Send us Fan Mail If your agency's culture lives in your head and dies when you leave the room, this conversation is the reset you didn't know you needed.  In this episode, I sit down with Mark Miller, former VP of High Performance Leadership at Chick-fil-A, principal architect of one of the most recognized leadership cultures in corporate America, and co-author of The Secret, 4th Edition with Ken Blanchard.  Mark breaks down why servant leader culture doesn't happen by accident, why your leadership skills alone won't build the team that follows you, and what Chick-fil-A's 25-year research journey, validated across hundreds of locations, revealed about what actually accelerates leadership development.  If you're scaling an agency and your bench is thin, this episode is the framework you've been missing.

    Why Profit First Beats Chasing Revenue: Andrew Brockenbush's Playbook

    Send us Fan Mail You can hit every revenue milestone and still run a broke agency. I've seen it, and so has Andrew Brockenbush. Andrew is the founder of Beefy Marketing, creator of the AI-powered Wingman platform, and host of the Business Growth Hacks podcast. With 13 years in the trenches building a brand that clients have made their own — literally calling him "Beefy" — he's done the work, made the mistakes, and now shares every lesson without a filter. In this conversation, Andrew breaks down what it actually looks like to run a profit first agency, restructuring his finances in real time using the Profit First framework, learning to delegate through the lens of the Freedom Compass, and finally investing in coaching after 13 years of going it alone. He's transparent about a challenging Q1, honest about the vanity of revenue metrics, and clear-eyed about where culture begins and what it costs when it breaks. If you're done chasing the number and ready to build something healthy, this episode is your playbook. Books Mentioned Profit First by Mike MichalowiczWho Not How by Dan SullivanNote: The Freedom Compass is a framework/tool from Michael Hyatt's Free to Focus, referenced by Andrew in the transcript.

    The AI Trust Crisis: How Transparency Builds the Business Your Clients Won't Leave

    Send us Fan Mail Your clients already know you're using AI. The question is: do they trust you with it? This week, I sat down with Vinnie Fisher, founder and CEO of SiteTrust, a former M&A attorney with a 26-year career, and a leader who has built and exited three 7-to-8-figure companies generating over $400 million in sales. Vinnie isn't theorizing about the AI trust crisis. He's building the solution to it. What started as a simple transparency watermark on an AI ad turned into one of the most clicked elements on his clients' websites. The result? Higher conversions, stronger engagement, and a certifiable competitive advantage, not because they added AI, but because they disclosed it. In this conversation, Vinnie breaks down the four pillars of responsible AI adoption: disclosure, legal compliance, governance, and workforce clarity, and why AI trust transparency isn't a compliance checkbox; it's your next growth lever. If you're scaling a digital agency and using AI in your client delivery, your operations, or your marketing, this episode will challenge how you think about integrity, adoption, and what your clients actually need to stay loyal. 📚 Books Mentioned The Five Levels of Leadership by John MaxwellPredictable Success by Les McKeownThe Trust Gap by Vinnie Fisher (forthcoming)Beyond Your Shadow by Vinnie FisherLegacy Through Multiplication by Vinnie Fisher Connect with Vinnie at SiteTrust.com and search "Vinnie Fisher" across social platforms; he's accessible and wants to hear your story.

    Stop Guessing: The Blueprint for Hiring the Right Number Two

    Send us Fan Mail If your business can't run without you in the middle of it, the problem isn't your team; it's the seat that's still empty. In this episode, I sit down with Alec Broadfoot, founder and CEO of VisionSpark, a premium executive search firm in Worthington, Ohio, with a 99% placement rate and a spot on the 2023 Inc 5000. Alec has spent 14 years helping entrepreneurial companies make the one hire that changes everything: the right number-two leader. We break down why gut-based hiring keeps brilliant founders stuck, how one assessment tool flipped Alec's own team from 70% turnover to 70% retention, and the eight indispensable traits every second-in-command must have.

    Tired of Building Offers? Validate Your Business Idea First

    Send us Fan Mail If you’re building new offers, investing time, and still questioning whether it will actually convert, you don’t have a scaling problem. You have a validation problem. In this episode, I sit down with Anya Cheng, Founder and CEO of Taelor, an AI-powered menswear rental platform backed by early investors in companies like Nvidia, TikTok, Facebook, Lyft, and Spotify, to unpack how to validate your business idea before you build. Anya didn’t start with a polished product. She started with a hypothesis, a landing page, and one customer she almost ignored. What followed was a repeatable way to test demand, get first customers without a finished product, and build traction before scaling. We walk through real examples of MVP validation, how to avoid building offers no one buys, and the exact thinking shift that turns uncertainty into clarity. If you’re refining an offer, launching something new, or looking to scale without wasted effort, this conversation will recalibrate how you build.
