Listen "610: (Solo) The Secret to Finding Agencies That Don’t Burn You"
Episode Synopsis
When you’re just starting out, the fastest way to grow isn’t automation, ads, or scaling systems — it’s doing things that don’t scale.
In this episode, I share why the most successful founders — from billion-dollar startups to small ecommerce brands — all begin by leaning into the unscalable.
From replying personally to every email, to sending hundreds of Instagram DMs, to handwriting thank-you cards for early customers, these strategies create the kind of emotional connection that big brands can’t compete with.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• Why doing things that don’t scale is your biggest advantage as a small brand
• Real examples of how I and other founders used this to grow early traction
• Specific tactics you can start today to build stronger customer relationships
If you’re an early-stage founder, this episode will show you exactly how to build momentum, create raving fans, and uncover what truly works — long before you scale.
This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at [email protected] — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
