In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I have been with my current organization for 5+ years. I like the company and have generally had a good experience working here. However, the last several years I have not really gotten a raise except for the standard “merit raise”, which does not cover inflation, so effectively the last several years I have made less money than the year before. I brought this up to my EM who said there is no chance of the company increasing the merit raises to meet inflation, unless I get a promotion. However, my EM also said there are no promotions available. I don't know if this means the company knows the job market is tough and they don't have to pay us as much, or if the company is in dire financial straits and unable to keep salaries up with inflation. This job market is tough and I don't know how long it would take me to find a new job, but certainly I will look. My question is basically, how can I go about getting my manager to help me level up to make myself a more attractive candidate for a future job without necessarily tipping my hand that I am job searching. On one hand I assume he knows that I might be looking. On the other hand if the company is in a bad position and we have another round of layoffs (we have had several over the past few years), I don't want to be first on the chopping block because it looks like I have my foot out the door. I'm just wondering how much I should make it clear what my goals are to have my EM work with me, or play it close to the vest. I am a Software Engineering Manager with about 12 years of experience. I am a few months into a new role at a medium sized private company. The day I joined I found out that all ICs under Staff-level are international contractors! Surprise! My team is mostly contracted “Senior developers”. Nobody is anywhere near what I consider “Senior”. The company has a culture of aggressive performance reviews. However, I'm seeing ICs and other Managers around me who are all seriously below the bar compared to other places I've worked in the tech industry. I get a lot of vague pressure from the Director/CTO level to “raise the bar” and quickly exit people who aren't meeting it. I already fired one person for performance and behavior issues, but I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. If I'm truly going to hold my team accountable to my and the company's own published performance metrics, I should fire the whole team. That's probably not good. Alternately, I can pad performance evaluations to convince my boss that everyone is meeting expectations. This also isn't good, but feels like what everyone else is doing. Also, I'm a little queasy doing aggressive firing and performance reviews for contractors. The company treats them as full time employees (after hours on call expectations, etc) and I'm not sure how Earth lawyers would look at this situation. Help! Final wrinkle - my last two jobs I've lasted less than a year. I wasn't fired but just haven't been able to find a good fit for a little while. I'm worried that if I just leave this job 6 months in, it'll start to look suspicious on my resume.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agency owners talk about selling someday, but very few actually build with that outcome in mind. They stay deeply embedded in delivery, sales, and decision-making, hoping an exit will magically appear later. In this episode, that myth gets dismantled. Today's featured guest, former owner of Dot & Company, shares how she intentionally designed a productized agency that could run without her long before an acquisition was even on the table. After successfully selling Dot & Co to E2M, she reflects on building with exit thinking from day one, how she connected with the right buyers, how she knew it was the right deal, and what genuinely surprised her about the process. Taylor McMaster is the former owner of Dot & Company. She built and sold a productized agency specializing in fractional account management for agencies and successfully exited to E2M after designing the business to operate without her long before the deal was on the table. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build an agency you can step away from, and one someone would want to buy, this conversation sets the stage. In this episode, we'll discuss: Making the decision to build a sellable business early on The role that uncloked scale The sales trap Why her exit felt easy 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.

How to Build an Agency You Can Sell Many agency owners say they want to sell one day, but are building a business that tells a very different story. They're still on every client call. Still approving every deliverable. Still the only one who can close deals. Still the glue holding everything together. That's not an agency. That's a very stressful job. For her part, Taylor decided early on that she didn't wait until she was exhausted to think about an exit. She designed the business for it. Exit Thinking Changes Everything About a year into building Dot & Co, Taylor made a quiet but powerful decision: "If I want an exit someday, I can't build this like a lifestyle business." That one thought changed how she hired, delegated, and structured the company. Instead of asking, "How do I do this better?" She asked, "How do I make myself unnecessary?" That meant systematically removing herself from every critical lane: Fulfillment People management Operations Admin Finance Not overnight. Not perfectly. But intentionally. The First Hire That Most Agency Owners Avoid Most agency owners start by hiring delivery help. However, there are multiple ways to go about this, especially if you understand where your expertise lies and where someone else could be doing a better job. Taylor hired a people manager early because she knew managing humans was her weakest skill and her biggest future bottleneck. That one hire unlocked scale. Why? Because resource-heavy agencies don't break because of strategy. They break because of people chaos. The Agency Sales Trap and Lesson Learned Like most founders, Taylor stayed in sales for a while. Eventually, she tried to step out and hit friction. Sales slowed. Messaging got inconsistent. Results dipped. For her, the lesson was that founder-led sales works because you know the stories, the nuance, the pain. Her hindsight advice is gold for any agency owner: Get really good at sales first, then teach it or bring in a true closer once the system exists. Too many owners abdicate sales before they've productized it. That's how pipelines dry up and panic hiring begins. Creating an Easy Exit… Because the Work Was Done Early By the time E2M acquired Dot & Co, Taylor had already: taken a 6-month maternity leave, removed herself from day-to-day operations and watched the business continue to grow without her So when the deal closed, there was no scramble. No identity meltdown. No team revolt. Her team was excited. Clients were curious but optimistic. And Taylor was ready. Finding Identity Without Being Trapped By Your Agency Taylor realized something most agency owners avoid: You can love your business without owning it. When your identity isn't trapped inside your agency, you make better decisions. You stop hoarding control. You stop being the bottleneck. You build something that actually has value with or without you. If you're stuck in fulfillment… If your team can't move without you… If you're scared to step back because everything might break… That's not a failure. It's just a sign you've built around you instead of systems. And that's fixable. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential?

In this episode, I sit down with Lana, an Airbnb property manager and real estate investor who was juggling 10 properties without documented systems, answering owner messages at all hours, and carrying the entire business in her head. She was competent and driven, yet her days felt reactive because there was no structure holding it together.We break down the exact shifts that changed that.Lana moved from being constantly available to operating on a defined schedule. She implemented structured communication windows for owners and guests. She documented every repeatable process so her virtual assistants could execute at a high standard without waiting for her input. She evaluated her client roster and released the partnerships that were draining her time and authority.As her business became organized, her mental load decreased. She made decisions faster. She trained consistently. She showed up in conversations with clarity instead of tension. The confidence did not come from mindset work alone. It came from clean execution.In this conversation, we talk about:Firing misaligned clients to remove the mental weight of unproductive partnershipsSetting communication boundaries so work messages stopped running her eveningsDocumenting systems so virtual assistants could execute without constant supervisionTurning an overwhelming to-do list into a prioritized, actionable planUsing fitness as a lever for energy and follow-throughManaging ADHD patterns by breaking large projects into clear next actionsIf you are running your business from your head instead of from documented systems, this episode will show you what changes when structure becomes the standard.If this resonates or book your complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation here:

In episode 238, Coffey talks with Joseph Fuller about how skills-based hiring is reshaping recruiting, workforce development, and talent strategy in the age of AI.  They discuss defining skills-based hiring beyond degree proxies; redesigning recruiting and applicant tracking systems; training hiring managers to reduce bias and risk aversion; using AI, simulations, and assessments to evaluate real skills; improving onboarding for nontraditional hires; addressing automation's impact on entry-level roles; balancing degrees, credentials, and experiential learning; and elevating social and learning skills as core capabilities in the future workforce.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

Attorney, author and podcaster Dean Obeidallah joins the program to explain why Greg Bovino, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem need to be prosecuted. Firing is meaningless—at least if you want to stop the reign of terror being waged by ICE, CBP and DHS agents. The only way to do that is to charge Bovino, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem with crimes for violating Minnesota state law. Plus, of course, the agents who murdered Renee Good earlier in January and Alex Pretti must be prosecuted as well.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
