Mark Milutin shares the unfiltered story of the last decade of building Bread Loaf, detailing the challenges and future plans for the agency.

10 years ago I started Bread Loaf as a freelancer.No team. No office. No guarantee it would work. Today we're a seven-figure agency with a global team— and I'm just getting started. In this episode I'm sharing the unfiltered story ofwhat the last decade actually looked like. The earlyburnout. Losing equity I earned. Selling my truck tobuy out my co-founder. Launching a team in Ukraineweeks before COVID hit. And the faith that kept thisbusiness alive through all of it. I'm also laying out exactly where Bread Loaf is goingover the next 10 years — $100M, a venture arm, globalexpansion, and acquisitions.
