Send us a text

What if scaling your business didn’t have to mean stress, burnout, and endless hours chained to your laptop?

In this episode, I’m joined by Francis Rodino - growth strategist, sales automation expert, bestselling author of Leads Machine, and founder of Lead Hero AI. Francis has helped clients generate over $300M in revenue and reclaim more than 200,000 hours through smarter systems, automation, and AI-driven marketing.

We talk about:
✨ Why most entrepreneurs overcomplicate growth (and how to simplify it).
✨ How AI and automation can give you freedom, not overwhelm.
✨ The RED Method framework - Roadmap, Engine, Drive - that transforms scattered marketing into predictable sales.
✨ What small business owners can learn from enterprise-level strategy.

Francis’s story proves that with the right systems and clarity, you can build a business that grows without burning you out.
