Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you treating your podcast as one more thing on an already impossible schedule? Are you running a sales process that creates friction at every step when the alternative has been sitting right in front of you? Today's featured guest has been podcasting for over 11 years and nearly 1,800 episodes. In this conversation, he'll make the case that a podcast, run correctly, removes the sales cycle almost entirely. He also has a lot to say about what it took to step back from working 100-hour weeks in an entertainment agency and into a business that earns a healthy six-figure income on 15 hours a week. Doug Sandler is the founder of Turnkey Podcast Productions, a podcast production agency, and the host of The Nice Guys on Business, a show he has been running for over 11 years and nearly 1,800 episodes with more than 6 million downloads. Before podcasting, Doug spent 30 years as a Bar Mitzvah MC and entertainment agency owner, running an operation that handled between 700 and 900 events per year. He also wrote the book Nice Guys Finish First, which became the original vehicle for the podcast. Nowadays, he works roughly 15 hours a week and spends the rest of his time restoring classic cars and trucks. In this episode, we'll discuss: A podcast as a hub of the business The decision to stop being the founder who works 80-hour weeks Removing the friction from the sale Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

The Podcast as a Sales Tool, Not a Content Schedule Agency owners who consider starting a podcast tend to frame it as a content commitment: another thing to produce, another distribution channel to manage, another task to fall behind on. Doug's framing is different. He calls the podcast the hub of the business, not a spoke. Marketing, lead generation, business development, sales, and relationship building are all running through the same conversation. Instead of adding to those functions, the podcast replaces most of the friction those functions create. The mechanics of how he uses it to sell without selling are worth understanding in detail. Doug does not cold pitch podcast production services. He reaches out to a prospect, says he hosts a show and likes their message, and asks if they would come on. The answer is nearly always yes. The interview becomes a 30 to 45 minute relationship-building session. By the end of it, he knows whether they are a fit, they know who he is and what he does, and the question "have you ever considered podcasting as a marketing tool?" lands entirely differently than it would in a cold email. The wall that normally exists between a prospect and a vendor does not go up because the conversation never started as a sales call. What 15 Hours a Week Actually Requires Doug works 15 hours a week and earns a healthy six-figure income. That sentence tends to provoke two reactions: skepticism and envy. The skepticism usually comes from founders who have not yet identified what their zone of genius actually is, or who have identified it but have not yet hired out everything around it. Doug is direct about what made the shift possible: he stopped doing anything that did not require his specific capability and hired for everything else, including before he could comfortably afford it. The operations manager hire at Turnkey came when it was just Doug and one other person. They were paying her $40,000 a year before either founder was drawing a paycheck. That decision was possible because Doug had kept his entertainment agency running in parallel and was not dependent on the production company income yet. The broader principle holds regardless of the specific situation: the sooner a founder identifies what they should stop doing and puts someone qualified in that seat, the faster the business grows and the less the founder has to be inside it to make that happen. The Decision to Stop Being the Founder Who Misses the Kids' Doug spent 30 years working weekends as an entertainment agency owner. His children grew up with a father who was almost always working during the exact hours when they were doing the things that mattered. This was a wake-up call. The shift he made when he launched Turnkey was not about working less for its own sake. It was about not repeating the same trade-off. Revenue is not the thing you look back on. Some founders who tell themselves they are working hard now so they can be present later. We know how that story usually ends. The agency gets bigger, the demands grow with it, and the window closes before anyone decides to actually make the change. The structural path out of that loop is a hiring decision, a zone-of-genius identification, and a willingness to pay for someone to take the work you should not be doing before you feel financially ready to do it. Live on Air: What Real Sales Confidence Looks Like Mid-interview, Doug openly asked about the possibility to explore what a partnership with his podcast production company could look like. He narrates the logic as he does it: not asking means leaving a potential opportunity on the table simply because it feels awkward. Asking directly, transparently, and without pressure is not pitching. It is just an honest question between two people who have been talking for 30 minutes and have clearly established that they like and respect each other. The lesson Doug draws from it is about what podcasting actually trains you to do. Every interview is a pre-qualified sales conversation with someone who already said yes to spending time with you. By the time the recording ends, the trust is built and the friction is gone. Asking whether there is an opportunity is the natural last step, not a hard close. That is a fundamentally different sales experience than any cold outreach can create, and it compounds across every episode, every guest, and every listener who has been tuning in long enough to already want to work with you before they ever reach out.

Adam's Polishes: https://adamspolishes.com/How have we not met until now -- and only then via coincidence. Mustangs, F-100s, and a laundry list of acquaintances in common.Adam Pitale is the kind of guy who's been obsessed with making things shine since he was a kid—literally starting by cleaning and polishing bikes as a pre-teen. That obsession turned into a hustle, then a business, and eventually into what we now know as Adam's Polishes. He launched it back in 2000 in California, not from some grand plan, but because he needed to make a living—and figured there had to be a better way to keep things looking perfect.Today, Adam's built a global brand around that same mindset: a little obsessive, a little unconventional, and completely driven by doing things better than “good enough.” He's the guy who'd rather wash a forklift—or Classic Ford —than let it stay dirty… and that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about how he shows up in business.

Today on Ford Mustang: The Early Years, we're diving into the journey of a lifelong Mustang dream—centered on a 1965 Fastback that's evolved through multiple rebuilds, setbacks, and reinventions. From a rough Craigslist purchase with questionable prior work, to a budget-minded daily driver, to a full-blown high-horsepower street-and-track build, this story captures the heart of Mustang ownership: passion, persistence, and the emotional pull of a car that just won't let go. It's a testament to the imperfect, personal, and ever-evolving first-gen Mustang. Vik Day, welcome to the show.Vik Day - today's guestHe bought his dream car—a 1965 Mustang Fastback—in December 2018, nearly 20 years after first wanting one. Before that, he'd owned and driven performance cars like a Porsche 996 GT3, an air-cooled 911, and even a 1970 Bronco he quickly sold. But he kept coming back to the pull of a first-gen Mustang. He found a Wimbledon White Fastback on Craigslist in Denver and shipped it to Texas, only to discover it was far rougher than advertised: a non-original T-code car with a tired 289, questionable mechanical work, unsafe wiring, poor rust repairs, and dangerously low oil pressure. Still, it had a beautiful red deluxe pony interior and working factory R12 A/C—enough to justify saving it.He began by prioritizing safety and drivability with upgraded brakes, suspension components, fuel and brake lines, a clutch conversion, and a full electrical cleanup, choosing not to rebuild the original engine since it was already near the end of its life. He then installed a budget-friendly Blueprint 302 with Holley Sniper EFI to create a reliable daily driver that made strong rear-wheel power and sounded great, but the engine suffered a catastrophic bearing failure after just 6,500 miles, leading to a warranty rebuild and months of downtime. Now he's fully committed to building the ultimate dual-purpose Mustang—comfortable enough for street use and a car seat, yet capable on track in Houston heat—with a 507-hp Ford Racing 363, TKX transmission, upgraded suspension, steering, chassis stiffening, and supporting hardware. Along the way, he tested his loyalty by buying other Mustangs, including a pristine Rangoon Red '65 Fastback and a high-school-dream Foxbody, but kept coming back to the original T-code; despite its flaws, it remains his favorite, and he plans to complete the latest evolution or is he?Connect with the show:@mustangpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/mustangpodcast/An Expert's Guide to Maintaining Your Classic Mustangwww.TheMustangPodcast.com/repairSponsored by: National Parts Depotwww.npdlink.comWith 4 warehouses nationwide, you'll get your parts fast!Email Doug: doug@turnkeypodcast.com"Keep it safe, keep it rollin' and keep it on the road.

"My 67 mustang has always been my dream car. It's a Mustang coupe 289 with a C4 transmission, power steering, power brakes, and deluxe interior. I've owned it for 3 years already and I have done extensive work to get it to where I want it to be. The Mustang is mostly up to my standards but the work never ends on these cars. Currently I'm working on the front floors and going to add factory style AC to it."

I was going to write some extensive show notes for this very entertaining and informative episode, when I stumbled across a really sweet post that Strickland put on Facebook. Since you might have missed it, I decided to copy/paste that here instead. Either that, or I was feeling really lazy and didn't feel like writing show notes (unlike every other Thursday night at 10:44 PM, which is when they finally get me the fuckery episodes and they need to be posted within a few hours), I'll leave it to you to decide. It's kinda like a "Choose your own adventure" book, but in this case it's a "Which version of Mr/Mrs. Show Note Writer do you want to believe?" If you're not a member of teh Facebook group yet, go to http://www.NiceShortCut.com and sign up. No, they're not going to try to sell you a bunch of shit, it's a nice, friendly group. OK, here's the post:For those of you who don't know (although, if you've even listened, I don't know how you could doubt this) Doug Sandler and I don't plan our Friday Fuckery episodes. Occasionally, we come with topics, but that's the exception, not the rule anymore. Today at 5:20 PM CST, 10 minutes before our scheduled recording time, I was not "feeling it." I'm a pro, and the show must go on, so I would never cancel on the fuckery, but on some days, it's more challenging than others. Doug, wasn't just not feeling it, he forgot and was actually running late! If you know Doug, you know this is a very, very rare occurance, but in this instance, it gave me the perfect opportunity to adjust my attitude and get myself in the right headspace. JJ Flizanes also joined us, which was a very pleasant surprise, since I haven't seen her in quite a while, and she brings a bit of grounding to the insanity that is "Doug & Strickland." This is an image I captured right after we finished recording, and it's a great reflection of the vibe of the episode. I'm so grateful every day for this amazing life I'm living, for having amazing people like Doug in my life, and for all of you (mostly anonymous) listeners enjoying the fuckery every week. We have a handful of Funkin' Fans who call in semi-regularly (you know who you are) and even though they represent a small percentage of the downloads we get every week, we still appreciate all of you, whether you call in or not. If you're one of those anonymous listeners, call 4242-DJ DOUG and leave us a message. We don't even care what you say, but it would be great to know you're out there. If you're not inclined to do that, at least like this post, or leave us a comment. Doug Sandler and I are real people, and as Ryan Bokros so famously said years ago "I met Doug and Strickland, and I can confirm that they are the same assholes you hear on the show."

Long before we get to disc brake upgrades, Shelby drops and changing gearing ratios, we've got to bake our combustible recipe. Every engine needs five things to roar to life: fuel, air, spark, compression, and timing. Miss just one, and you're probably listening to this episode on the side of the road. Today, we break down the mechanics behind the machines—and the lessons they teach us about precision, balance, and getting it all to fire in sync. Welcome to Ford Mustang: The Early Years and Ford Trucks, the Early Years Podcasts, where today we will get you tuned up and on the road. Let's bring in our resident expert, Jonathan, welcome back to the podcast -- it's been way too long.That's the whole recipe for a running engine:Fuel – Correct amount of gasoline delivered into the cylinder.Air – Oxygen mixed in the right ratio with fuel for combustion.Spark – Ignition source (spark plug, or compression ignition in a diesel) to light the mixture.Compression – Pistons squeezing the air/fuel mixture to the right pressure for efficient burn.Timing – All of the above happen at exactly the right moment in the engine cycle.If any one of those is missing or out of sync, the engine won't run properly.Connect with the show:@mustangpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/mustangpodcast/An Expert's Guide to Maintaining Your Classic Mustangwww.TheMustangPodcast.com/repairSponsored by: National Parts Depotwww.npdlink.comWith 4 warehouses nationwide, you'll get your parts fast!"Keep it safe, keep it rollin', and keep it on the road.
