  • 082 Macgill Davis: Fixing Time Tracking Without Pissing Off Your Team
    Nov 18 2025

    Hey everyone, today I'm joined by Macgill Davis.

    Macgill is the co-founder of Rize, an automated time tracking platform built specifically for teams.


    He previously worked at Twitter and now helps agencies eliminate the pain of manual time tracking with AI-powered automation and deep productivity insights.


    I wanted to have Macgill on because time tracking is critical for agency profitability. Your inventory is time. \Bbut most teams hate tracking it.

    I personally use Rize and love the functionality, as well as how he’s solving this problem head-on.


    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Automating time tracking without micromanaging your team
    • Why tracking non-billable time matters for profitability
    • How bad data sabotages resourcing and hiring decisions
    • And more...

    You can learn more about Macgill on LinkedIn or at Rize.io.

  • 081 Ryan Harmon: The Death of Keywords in the Age of AI
    Nov 11 2025

    Hey everyone, today I'm joined by Ryan Harmon.

    Ryan is the founder of Metrify and the engineer behind Paraloom, a tool for measuring AI search visibility.


    He’s helped banks and credit unions move from zero to full AI visibility, and brings 15 years of experience in marketing and web development. His current work helps brands understand and win in the evolving AI search landscape.


    I wanted to have Ryan on because AI search is disrupting how prospects find and trust agencies, and most owners aren’t prepared for the shift.


    In this episode, we discuss:

    • How AI chooses what content to cite (and why rankings don’t help)
    • What actually improves visibility in AI search
    • Why long-form comparison content beats keyword stuffing
    • And more...

    You can learn more about Ryan on LinkedIn.

  • 080 Alex James: The Perspective-First Playbook for Agency Growth
    Nov 4 2025

    Hey everyone, today I'm joined by Alex James.


    Alex is a messaging strategist who helps service businesses define and communicate their unique perspective.


    He’s a former copywriter turned positioning expert, known for helping agencies move beyond generic niching with sharp, point-of-view-driven messaging. His work has helped clients unlock millions in new revenue by refining how they explain what makes them different.


    I wanted to have Alex on because too many agency owners rely solely on niching and referrals, without realizing the critical role of perspective in creating demand. We're incredibly aligned on so many topics, that I wanted to see how he approaches things.


    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why niching isn’t enough to stand out
    • How to develop a point of view that sells
    • Turning your team into strategic messengers
    • And more...

    You can learn more about Alex on LinkedIn.

  • 079 Gary Searle: How to Make Referrals Predictable, Not Accidental
    Oct 28 2025

    Hey everyone, today I'm joined by Gary Searle.


    Gary is a referral strategist who helps companies build systems to generate consistent, high-quality referrals.


    He’s worked with early-stage startups and scaled up to serve high-revenue companies, helping them shift from passive word-of-mouth to intentional referral pipelines.


    I wanted to have Gary on because most agencies rely on inconsistent referrals and miss out on building predictable systems to generate them. He also promotes a “culture of referrals” framework inside companies that I think many agenceis can benefit from.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Building a “culture of referrals” inside your agency
    • How to reward clients without hurting trust
    • Tracking the quality (not just quantity) of referrals
    • And more...

    You can learn more about Gary on LinkedIn.

  • 077 João Landeiro: Beyond Best Practices - Why Your Process Is Your Differentiator
    Oct 14 2025

    Hey everyone, today I'm joined by João Landeiro.


    João is a business strategist who helps consultants turn their methods into standout service formats.


    He's known for teaching how to design high-conviction, high-conversion workshops, and his frameworks have helped agencies codify their expertise into scalable offers.


    I wanted to have João on because agencies need to differentiate in the AI era, and building signature formats is a potential moat to capitalize on.


    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why formats can’t be faked—and how to use that
    • How to codify your method without being generic
    • Signs clients see that make them trust you faster
    • And more...
