About this episode

Cody and Jake discuss the challenges agency owners face when growth leads to fatigue and explore potential solutions.

[Cold open [Bad shaker bottles. Creatine. Gemini as a personal trainer.] ends at 08:43.] Cody and Jake talk through the weird spot agency owners hit when the business is growing, but the work starts feeling less fulfilling. This episode gets into the reality of running a productized agency at volume. More clients, more accounts, more expectations, and more moments where “just manage expectations better” stops being a useful answer. They also talk about what the next evolution of Evergrow might look like. Not just adding another marketing channel, but building operational tools around the problems clients already have: missed calls, weak follow-up, no review generation, bad lead handling, and messy sales processes. It’s part therapy session, part business discussion. The kind of conversation agency owners have when the machine is working, revenue is growing, and somehow the next problem still feels right in front of you. ----- RESOURCES: Want the tools and resources we recommend for agencies?
