After every dark period comes one of light.

I’ve been paying for my Skool community for over a year. Never put to work. A money leak.

Over-analyzing and some very real personal challenges in 2025. A few demons took away my focus. I was stuck, lost.

And yeah, I was the bottleneck in my own launch. True story (kinda ironic for a coach who works with bottlenecks, huh).

But today, the silence ends.

Here's why:

Over the last few years, I’ve worked with two dozen 7-8-figure agencies and brands. 

We designed clear goals, implemented frameworks, and tight KPI systems. Solid stuff. All killing it.

But I noticed a pattern:

Even with the best systems in the world, success depends on whether leadership is ready. 

Especially the middle managers. The lieutenants.

The quality of your lieutenants determines if your goals actually become reality. Or if they stay spreadsheets. 

Dreams.

That’s why I’m launching The Conscious Leader.

While I continue my 1:1 high-performance coaching for founders via REMODE, this community is the "Lab" for your leadership team.

Starting today, I am committing to:

✅ Daily Strategic Support.
I’ll answer every leadership challenge or operational bottleneck with personalized 1:1 Loom videos.

✅ 2x Weekly Hot Seats:
60-minute live hot-seat group coaching sessions where we solve real problems.

✅ Bespoke Classroom:
Modules built from the real-world challenges your leaders face.

The result?

You regain your time, freedom, and focus.

Better-aligned leadership always leads to better business results.

I’m looking for the "Next 10".

So... you’ve built a strong $1-5M digital agency.

The team is in place and revenue is growing. But under the surface, things are starting to feel, let's say somewhat heavier.

Delivery is getting bloated, margins are tighter than they should be and projects take too many people, too many steps, and too much time.

“The big problem”

The problem isn’t bad people or even bad processes. It’s an agency business that was never re-architected after $1M.

The business was built for growth, not efficient scale. Ops grew reactively, not strategically. The business has grown but leadership hasn’t levelled up to match it.

How we fix it:

We fix ops and delivery inefficiencies to unlock $1M+/year in profit and turn your agency into a scalable asset.

Real results our clients see:

- $250k-1M+/year in recovered margin over 12+ months
- 20–40% reduction in over-servicing
- Teams that deliver without founder input
- Increased EBITA
- A delivery model that’s scalable, repeatable, and exit-ready

Who we work with

Agency founders doing $500K–5M in revenue who want to:

- Scale cleanly
- Fix profit leaks
- Step out of ops
- Or prep for a future exit

If that sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’re in the same stage... successful enough to grow, but too central to scale.

Run our Agency Scale Readiness Assessment. It exposes the exact reasons founders stay trapped in delivery and shows how to deconstrain growth.

Used by 55+ agency owners to step out of the day-to-day and add $150K–$750K in yearly profit:

So I'm speaking at a the agency summit and I'm heavily past the DEADLINE with my presentation 🤬! I was supposed to send it LAST week... plus I've already spent 8+ hours working on it!!

I feel like very time I tasked myself with a workshop or a presentation I start questioning everything. Specifically how we think about helping founders solve their scaling and operational challenges. 

So I thought about what KEEPS tripping me up...

Typical presentations are designed to showcase expertise. Slide after slide of frameworks, methodologies and theoretical models that look impressive but leave people thinking "okay... so what do I actually DO on Monday?"

I personally can't stand that disconnect.

For me, teaching is rooted in understanding. Since I was a kid, I couldn't stand complexity and theoretical knowledge that exists in a vacuum. Dyslexia doesn't help either.

Learning should be practical, applicable and fun. That’s why I’m ALSO a huge fan of micro-learning. Small, clear concepts. Immediately useful. Easy to remember. Easy to apply the next day at work.

Anyway.. all of that pushes me to simplify stuff. And to simplify is hard (simple requires you to actually understand the problem at its core which takes gobs of time).

Alright… end of the rant. I probably should’ve put this energy into the presentation instead 😅.

You built a $500k-$5M/y agency business. We make it run without you.

Over the past 1.5 years we've built an agency client portfolio north of $50M. Here are 3 things we did to drive our fast growth and pipeline.

1. Product > service

We stopped selling a "service" and started building a product.

The first and most important shift we made was how we think about the consulting model. My intention has never been to build a traditional "service-based" company. I have no interest in selling time only long-term. But our goal is to build the best possible product on the market.

So instead of custom proposals for every client (like we did in the very beginning), we turned our offer into a clear, solution-driven product.

(Important to note: we didn't "templatise" what we do into a repeatable program like most info-products. We're far from it. I'll leave that for another post.)

This did two things:

1/ it made us easier to buy from, and it forced us to get exceptionally good at a narrow set of solutions which led to the second point

2/ clients aren't hiring us to "figure it out", they're buying a proven system with a clear understanding of what results to expect


2. Real, authentic content.

No growth hacks. NO embarrassing comment pods. No low-status "comment xyz if you agree" posts.

We've been optimising for trust and long-term brand leverage.

Authentic content builds trust before the first conversation even happens. 50% of prospects who reached out already knew our philosophy and believed in our approach before we ever spoke.

What helped with my content:

- Doug Lawson and 🧲 Adam Kitchen for pushing my thinking

- Writing every day with the intention of continuing to master this skill

- Reading fiction books (seriously, it's changed how I write)


3. Private in-person events

We hosted small, invite-only dinners and workshops in major cities around the globe. Usually 10-15 people max. No sales pitches (of course). The goal is to facilitate valuable conversations between founders and executives we wanted to build relationships with.

Someone called it our "bottom of funnel," but I don't like thinking of it that way. I personally don't want to feel like I'm part of someone else's funnel when I attend an event, so even though the goal is to generate business, it's not that scripted, if you know what I mean.

But yeah, the ROI is solid.


In 2026 we're going to invest more of our energy and money into 3 things:

Product
Content
Distribution

Lastly,

if you're building a service-based business like an agency or consultancy I highly, highly recommend paying attention to the changes in in how buyers evaluate and choose partners.

The market is saturated with sh** options and most agencies and coaches and consultants look identical from the outside.

My winning stack looks like this at the moment:

1/ Better products (with clear offers)
2/ Distinct points of view
3/ And trust built before the sales call ever happens
