Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Time for a Clutter Intervention September 4, 2025 | Episode 5174 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott calls an intervention on the clutter that's taking over your life. He's seen your basement, your garage with that classic car on bricks, and frankly, your brain is just as cluttered. After 20 years of podcasting and coaching, I've learned something crucial: we're all hoarders, especially when it comes to the stuff rattling around in our heads. Time to clear out what's holding you back so you can make room for what you actually want. Featured Story Scott shares his observations from visiting listeners' homes and meeting coaching clients in person. From Florida garages packed with northern transplants' belongings to classic cars collecting dust on bricks, the physical clutter mirrors what's happening upstairs. But here's the kicker - most people who come to him for business coaching end up needing relationship help first. You can't enjoy that 30K monthly goal if your spouse can't stand you because you're working yourself to death. Important Points Humans are natural hoarders, and we hang onto mental clutter just like we do physical stuff - everything you've ever done becomes part of who you are. You're clinging to what worked well before, but it needs to go so you can create space for what you actually want to do next. Every time you solve one problem, you create another problem - that's just how growth works, so embrace the chaos instead of fighting it. Memorable Quotes "Humans are hoarders and that's you." "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to go find your purpose." "Everything you've ever done, everything you've ever owned is part of who you are, and it's going to hang out back there." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself how you'd feel if you dropped everything holding you back right now - notice that little smile creeping across your face. Give yourself a 30-day cooling off period on whatever popped into your mind during this episode, but lean forward into the possibility instead of going backward. Stop questioning whether you should make the change - if you keep asking "should I," the answer is you already know you want to drop it.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you an agency owner chasing the $1 million mark, believing that milestone will finally transform your business? Today's featured guest once felt the same way—until he got there and discovered it was all a myth. Hitting seven figures looked like success on paper, but behind the scenes he was burning himself out just to keep things afloat. In this episode, he reveals the processes that helped him escape no man's land, the critical lessons he learned about hiring, and the one thing he would do differently if he had the chance to start over. Justin Rashidi is the CEO and co-founder of SeedX, where he leads data-driven marketing strategy and operations. Justin never planned to start an agency, but what started as a tutoring gig in New York soon turned into a full-blown business. After getting past some common agency growth hurdles, he'll share what he's learned on overcoming no man's land, hiring, why he thinks like a SaaS founder when it comes to running his agency, and more. In this episode, we'll discuss: Don't fall for the million-dollar myth. Why growing fast was a problem and how he would change it. Hiring? Don't go for the entrepreneur type. Getting beyond ‘no man's land'.

When “The Side Thing” Has the Potential to Become a Growing Business Justin grew up in a family where being a doctor, lawyer, or engineer was the gold standard. Entrepreneurship wasn't even on his radar. After moving to New York and starting a tutoring company, he realized business was way more fun than he expected. That small company eventually led him into freelancing—websites, marketing, whatever clients needed. The real turning point came when he and his now-wife recognized that the “side thing” they kept ignoring was actually worth building. Instead of just coasting from project to project, they doubled down and started turning Seedex into a functional, growing organization. The Million-Dollar Myth Hitting the million-dollar mark sounds like the dream milestone for agency owners. Justin admits he thought so too… until he actually got there three years into the business. In reality, it was one of the hardest stages of growth. At that point, your agency looks successful on paper, but reality tells a different story. You don't have the capital to hire senior talent. Your team is probably junior and undertrained. Processes are shaky. And you—the founder—are working yourself into the ground to hold it all together. Justin remembers that stage as “a form of hell” that helped him understand why many owners try to sell at one million. He was gaining weight, losing weekends, and burning out fast. Scaling too quickly without solid processes or proper capital can trap you in a worse spot than before. Grow Slower, Build Stronger Looking back, Justin sees one of the biggest problems for his agency was how fast they grew. If he could change anything, he would've slowed down growth. That doesn't sound sexy, but it's real. At the moment, it felt exciting to see his business grow so much. What he didn't know, however, was that scaling without processes or capital is like building a skyscraper on quicksand—it looks impressive until it collapses. He recommends two key moves for agency owners chasing growth: Build strong processes first. Make sure you can consistently deliver client success before you pile on more clients. Secure working capital. Don't wait until you're desperate for cash to get financing. Get a line of credit while things look good—because once you actually need it, banks disappear. This is one of those lessons that sounds boring… until you've lived through the chaos yourself. Thinking About Hiring Entrepreneurs? Justin Says “Just Don't” Another one of Justin's biggest realizations after hitting $1 million was that he had pushed the agency as far as his own hustle could take it. Suddenly, growth wasn't about what he could do—it was about what his team could do. As he put it, “I got myself here, now I have to get the rest of the team here too.” That's when he realized growth isn't about finding the right “how,” it's about finding the right who. That focus on hiring also came with hard lessons, Justin learned what makes an employee succeed or fail within an agency. He also learned the hard way: never hire entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs leave within 6–12 months to chase their own ventures. Instead, hire people who want to grow inside your company, who hold themselves to high standards, and who take ownership of improving processes. Once you have those people, agency life gets a whole lot easier. You're no longer solving every problem yourself—you've got a team that can think, adapt, and solve without you micromanaging. Beyond “No Man's Land” Every agency owner eventually hits that “no man's land” stage—the space between $1M and true scale—where everything feels hard. For Justin, it didn't end with some big breakthrough moment. It faded slowly over time. Piece by piece, things got easier: better operations, employees leveling up, hiring stronger talent, having more capital, and—maybe most importantly—understanding how a business actually functions. That compounding effect created stability. And while he wouldn't call it easy, he admits the business is way more enjoyable today than it was a few years ago. Numbers Don't Lie Which KPIs you pay attention to may differ depending on your particular market. When it comes to running SeedX today, Justin thinks like a SaaS founder and focuses a lot on contract retention and contract expansion. He wants zero churn and contracts that expand over time. That's how you build a healthy, stable agency without constantly chasing short-term clients. On top of that, he keeps a close eye on profit margins - aiming for 20% and runs monthly reviews with a tight bookkeeping process. For some, the more their agency grows the harder it is to maintain margins. In Justin's case, as his business has grown, their margins have expanded. Why? Because they got better at scoping projects and started moving upmarket to clients who pay properly for expertise. The agency world is full of bad scoping, undercharging, and scope creep. Justin's team now tracks time, analyzes leakage, and runs post-project reviews to tighten estimates. Raising Prices and Playing to Win One of the most powerful lessons Justin learned once he started tracking these KPIs was the danger of undercharging. Once he was running profitably, he realized he should be charging some clients more, and at this point he was confident enough to go back to clients and renegotiate that rate. In the early days, fear drove pricing. He didn't think clients would pay more. Now he sees it differently. If a prospect won't pay what it's worth, let them go. The client that undercut you will eventually realize they made a mistake—and when they come back into the market, they'll be ready to pay at the right price. “It's like a magic $30K shows up,” he says. Since you're running operations correctly and the time is already committed, that revenue drops straight to the bottom line. That's the power of pricing confidence. So stop racing to the bottom. Raise your rates, deliver great work, and let the unprofitable clients filter themselves out. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Jess Fenton dives deep into the projection field, the subtle bodies, and why luxury isn't frivolous — it's essential.Using a hilarious Friends scene as the doorway, Jess explores:✨ Why luxury matters — not as excess, but as nervous system regulation, beauty, and strength for the body.✨ The six subtle bodies — physical, etheric, emotional, mental, causal, and atmic — and how projections move through each layer.✨ The battlefield of the 5/1 Human Design profile — why Jess naturally attracts projections, and how to stand sovereign in the mirror field.✨ The healing codes of each subtle body — guilt, shame, denial, rejection — and how forgiveness, love, and surrender dissolve them.✨ How luxury, beauty, and environment strengthen your physical body so projections can't land.This is a powerful reminder:You don't need to shrink, apologise, or martyr yourself to be “good.”Luxury is not indulgence — it's regulation.And when your energetic bodies are strong, projections can't stick — they bounce straight back.This is the essence of The Spiritual Millionaire Pathway™.Inside, you'll anchor:The Millionaire Signal™ → positioning that makes wealthy women recognise you instantly.£30K Baseline Rituals™ → simple business models that hold £30K months as your new minimum.The Certainty Codes™ → the external cues that make decisive women pay in full, fast.

Are you ready to step into the world where £30K months are your baseline?In today's episode, I take you deeper into The Spiritual Millionaire Pathway™, and share how this journey isn't about more hustle, more clients, or more content — it's about aligning with luxury, certainty, and precision so that high-calibre clients say yes with ease.We explore:

Jess pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked drains in the coaching and spiritual business world: parasocial relationships and unconscious content consumption.We explore:✨ Why silent consumers and lurkers are feeding on your energy (and why it leaves you drained).✨ The difference between building a field of reciprocity vs building an audience of free dopamine seekers.✨ How “evil eye” energy shows up in business — envy, projection, and unconscious energy harvesting.✨ Why true appreciation always moves into reciprocity (a like, a share, a comment, or an investment).✨ The link between anxious content consumption and stalled financial success.✨ How to strengthen your energetic boundaries so you don't leak power to consumers who will never buy.✨ Why your creativity — not more consumption — is the antidote to anxiety.This is not about building a business for “everyone.” This is about creating intimacy, transparency, and reciprocity. Jess draws the line in the sand: if you're here to consume, this isn't the field for you. If you're here to build a business where £30K months become your baseline, The Spiritual Millionaire Pathway™ is open.

The Spiritual Millionaire Pathway™For coaches, healers, energy workers, teachers, and creatives, who have clients and/or students.A quick word before we get started. A lot of women already tuned out when I mention Millionaire. They are unable to even contemplate that they could be on the millionaire track. They are unable to stay open to possibility and just be curious. They are unwilling to receive a change in perception. All spiritual women who became millionaires at one point thought ‘I wonder…'.‘I wonder…' is the opening of the portal the puts you on the Spiritual Millionaire Pathway.£360,000 a YearThis is the bare minimum a woman should be earning to safeguard her future.£10,000/m to live on and investment into growth£10,000/m for taxes£10,000/m for investments to secure a healthy financial futureI am going to use the example of yoga teachers but you can interchange this with a healer, guide, coach, creative, or anyone who works with clients and/or students.Most yoga teachers believe they need hundreds of students at £50 a class to make real money.But let me show you a simpler way.

Nervous to buy 14 units… now owns thousands

From a vandalized 4×8 roadside sign to a $17K third deal—and eventually 30+ purchases halfway through 2025—Josh Jarbo breaks down the real, unglamorous mechanics of finding, funding, and flipping in a picky-buyer, longer-DOM market. What you'll learn: From zero to proof of concept: Nine months to the first $3K wholesale check—and why that mattered more than later $50K+ wins. Marketing vs. selling: Billboards, big signs, texts (then), and why rapport at the kitchen table still closes the buy side. Margins that keep you alive: Why Josh targets $40–50K flip spreads and often wholesales anything that nets $40K+ now. When deals go sideways: A wrong-fit contractor that vaporized $30K—and the guardrails Josh uses today. Capital stacks that scale: Graduating from personal cash to private/hard money and simple rules to avoid sleepless nights. Owner-finance alchemy: Packaging multiple assets (warehouse, office, storage) with better-than-bank terms. Market snapshot (mid-2025): Under $400K still moves; plan for ~3 months on market; buyers are picky—buy right or get nicked on inspection. Going farther afield: A smooth Florida penthouse flip (4.5 hours away)—and why your first deal should be local. Who Should Listen:

Today's featured guest had been building $32,000 websites for mid-market companies. On paper, it looked like success. But in reality, he felt stuck—unfulfilled and back in a corporate-style grind that didn't align with the kind of work or life he truly wanted. When he took a step back, he realized something important: the clients he really wanted to serve were already reaching out. These were smaller, $300K businesses with many of the same challenges agencies see across the board—but without the bloated complexity. So he made a bold pivot. He simplified his offer, created a productized service, and returned to his roots—helping people in a way that felt meaningful, scalable, and sustainable. The result? Less stress, more impact, and a business model built around freedom, not friction. Nate Freedman is the founder of TechPro Marketing and creator of MSP Sites, a productized service built specifically for Managed IT Service Providers. After years of working in high-ticket agency engagements, Nate made a bold pivot—focusing on volume, automation, and scalable coaching for small IT firms. That shift helped him grow from a $20K/month agency to a $2.5M+ business serving over 100 clients with a tight, dialed-in model. We'll explore his early missteps, the aha moment that changed everything, and the system he built to serve a niche audience at scale—without losing his soul. In this episode, we'll discuss: Pivoting to MPSs as the perfect fit. Creating a low-ticket offer. Productizing with a purpose.

He was a self-taught internet nerd who cut his teeth writing affiliate articles and selling photo recovery software online. He studied accounting, not realizing when he picked that career that being an online marketer was an option. Right out of college, his first job was at an accounting firm, an experience he promptly hated. He felt exposed and like a fish out of water. This is a feeling he recognized years later when, the more his agency took on large, complex clients like Salesforce, the more he felt like a fraud. He was working with large corporations and felt like an impostor. It just wasn't the right fit for him. “I was putting on a kind of a facade. Like, I was pretending to be someone I wasn't… and it just wasn't me.” That realization drove Nate back to his roots: helping people who reminded him of himself. From Big Clients to Bigger Misalignment Nate didn't start small. Like many digital agency owners, his early focus was on winning big projects—$10K, $20K, even $32K website and marketing packages. And sure, those checks looked great at first… until a very good client sent him the dreaded email: “Nate, when are we going to generate leads from this?” That one question—posed by a well-meaning client already $32K in—flipped the switch. Nate realized that delivering work isn't the same as delivering results. The more he moved upmarket, the more he felt like he was back in the corporate world he hated. High-maintenance clients. Long sales cycles. No real alignment. He wasn't building relationships. He was building a façade. Finding His People: MSPs as the Perfect Fit Nate's breakthrough came when he niched down into the MSP (Managed Service Provider) space. These were former tech guys turned business owners—scrappy, smart, and stuck in the same ways agency owners often are. They didn't need $30K marketing retainers. They needed help generating leads, converting visitors, and staying in business. Nate made a gutsy move. He ditched his high-ticket proposals and started sending BombBomb videos to leads who had previously ghosted him: “You turned down my $20,352 proposal. Here's my new one: $2,000 a month, and I'll help you generate leads. I don't even know exactly what I'll do yet. I just want to help you grow.” That transparency worked. Five early adopters signed on, and Nate never looked back. Scaling a Low-Ticket, High-Impact Model What started as a simplified offer became a flywheel. Over seven years, Nate scaled his agency to over 100 monthly clients, all paying around $4,200/month. But growth at that level brings churn. With just 3% monthly churn, he'd have to invest more on sales and onboarding and close three new clients a month just to break even. However, focusing on growing this way meant turning away 75% of leads who were not at least $1 million in revenue that could afford the expense. And most of the businesses reaching out to his agency were at 200K-300K. Nate felt he could service those clients without a big investment in human resources. This sparked the next evolution: MSP Sites. The new offer targeted those MSPs doing $200K–$300K/year. These folks couldn't pay $4K/month… but they desperately needed help. So Nate reverse-engineered a low-cost, high-value offer that started at $200/month and eventually grew to include: Custom-designed websites Human chat agents CRM and booking automations On-demand courses and live office hours Weekly coaching and a client-only community He went from being “just another agency” to becoming an all-in-one marketing partner for small MSPs—at a price they could actually say “hell yes” to. Productizing with Purpose: Lessons from the Pivot This shift to a productized offer came with unexpected lessons, as Nate was confronted with a question from his past work making $32K websites or a $200 website: “Where are the leads?” He realized that whether he was going after the high end or low end of the market, he still had to provide an end result for clients. Low ticket doesn't mean low impact. He has to answer that question while still providing an affordable service, so he started layering in automation, coaching, and a structured experience This slightly raised the price to $300/month, but clients not felt like they were part of a premium program. Nate wanted to help clients not just have a website, but also generate leads, drive traffic, and close the deal. By adding live calls, email support, and a live event, Nate turned MSP Sites into more than a tool—it became a tribe. Once the service was upgraded and clients could get their website set up even faster, the problem was that now they all looked the same. Nate knew his clients deserved better, so he removed the one-click deploy and now ensures each website is custom-designed to look amazing. Of course, this also led to a rise of the set up fee, but clients were more than happy to pay for a better design. Finally, on-demand courses and live office hours were the finishing touch for his new offer and he was finally helping clients much more and building the business he really enjoys. Market Share > Margins (When You're Playing the Long Game) At some point, most agency owners fantasize about selling. Nate's no different—but he's thinking a few moves ahead. Instead of relying on private equity, his bet is on strategic acquisition by a larger company in his own niche. “The best multiple I'm going to get is from someone who wants more market share.” That's why he's focused on volume at the low end. Every small client is a slice of market share. And if you can build community, coaching, and brand loyalty into your offer, you're not just a service provider—you're infrastructure. The Next Frontier: Launching a Mastermind With 300+ paying clients, Nate's building something many agency owners should be thinking about but don't: a mastermind for your niche. Why? Because clients already trust you. They're already getting value. And when you get them in a room together—virtually or physically—magic happens. Better yet, Nate doesn't need to be the guru. The best masterminds don't revolve around one person—they're facilitated, not taught. When the room is full of practitioners, the value is in the conversations. Do Right By People (and You'll Win) Scaling isn't just about tech, pricing models, or marketing hacks. It's about people. Nate credits a huge part of his growth to partnering with E2M Solutions, which removed the HR complexity of managing a dev team in-house. More importantly, it aligned with his core value: “Do right by people. If you do that, no one's going to say anything bad about you. Even when you make mistakes.” It's simple, but in a crowded industry full of overpromising and under-delivering, that integrity stands out—and scales.

The 3rd edition excitement continues to flow through our veins as we got the whole team back to talk about our first impression of the new ruleset! After that, in Painting Black ... and Other Colours, Myles takes us through weathering the black sands of Istvaan V, without black! And finally, in Tales of Heresy, we draw closer to the conclusion to our rankings of the main Black Library series with positions 10 to 6. Programming note: for the first half of the show we were sure we were going to finish all final 10 books, but in the most Age of Darkness way possible we meandered so much on the first half that we ran out of time!

What happens when two car lovers bet on themselves—and win? In this episode, I'm joined by Amy and Dan Snyder of SPE Motorsport, the husband-and-wife team turning heads in the Ford performance world. From building their first parts in a garage to developing carbon fiber manifolds and launching a new classic-meets-modern car sales brand, their journey is one of grit, innovation, and a whole lot of horsepower. Listen in as we talk about the early days of SPE, how Dan taught himself CAD from scratch, and how a risky lease turned into a game-changing move. We also dive into the mindset shifts that helped them scale from $30K to $500K per month, what it took to develop their signature Coyote Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold, and how they're blending iconic cars like the GT40 and Cobra with modern drivability.

Anybody who has ever tried to launch anything knows that it can be absolutely terrifying.Even for Nicole... before there were $30K pay in full clients, she had 13 gut wrenching failed sales calls that had her crying in the shower thinking that she needed to go back to bartending.But that awful memory helped her to embody something at a completely different level that forever shifted the way she showed up in her launches, which immediately led to a $10K client pay-in-full and that client closing an $88K launch just six weeks later. That's why Nicole is ripping off the band-aid and giving you a front row seat to a LIVE coaching session with one of her badass Unicorn Clients, Lauren D'Ath, as they peel back the layers of a successful AF launch. If you're looking to create a launch that will call in your Unicorns in at lightning speed, this is for you. Press play and see how you can embody the frequency of a successful launch.  

The agents made their way toward the Jumentierre Estate, and found improvised Valkyrie fliers that would give the Crimson Brothers advantage in the fight. The area was guarded by two Hereteks and a swarm of servo skulls, so Morgan opted for a stealth approach. She sent data from a nearby cogitator to CLO53T, who confirmed that Talos Ivo was meant to be on one of the ships, but when the Judge and their seconded Arbitrators shots at the Hereteks, the servo skull swarm suddenly broke their surveillance pattern and set their sights on the agents. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Enjoying Agents of the Inquisition?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)
