Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What if hiring smart people and getting out of your way was not enough to build a self-managing agency? Today's featured guest will talk through the decisions most agency owners get wrong: when to stay involved, when to let go, and how the absence of rigor compounds into structural problems you won't even notice until you're stuck. He'll talk about how bad hiring decisions led him to become the bottleneck, how he's trying to fix that, as well as why your "number" for how much your agency is worth is probably based on nothing, and the one financial habit that gives you genuine optionality. Scott Leff is the founder of Leff, a B2B content marketing agency serving global professional services firms and nonprofits for over 16 years. His background spans business communications working as a managing director for a big brand, as well as a 22-month stint leading communications for Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games. When the bid failed in the first round, he found himself in a period of reinvention. With the gig economy just taking off, he decided it was time to hang up his shingle. He started to take freelance work, which eventually led to hiring and forming his own business. This agency grew steadily, exploded during COVID, and is now navigating the reassessment most established agencies are facing in a shifting market. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why becoming the bottleneck isn't always about control The hiring rigor every owner should have Which metrics are you tracking? Why declining revenue doesn't equal failure 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.

Knowing What You Should Never Have Delegated For the first ten-plus years of his agency business, every meaningful decision flowed through Scott or his business partner. That wasn't always a problem, but as the agency grew and decision-making had to push down through a management layer, cracks formed. Not because the team was incapable, but because they were being handed authority without the context, direction, or support to use it well. Hiring is the clearest example Scott points to. He gave department managers the autonomy to bring in their own people, which was a reasonable call on paper. But in a culture-driven organization like an agency, where your people are both your product and 80% of your overhead, that's the one decision you can't outsource and expect to get right. The fix wasn't micromanaging the process. It was figuring out the specific places where the founder's perspective is irreplaceable, and staying in the conversation there, even when it's uncomfortable to be involved. Hiring Rigor Is Not Optional and Most Agencies Are Winging It Scott attended a conference session led by someone who'd overseen hiring at Amazon and other large organizations. The biggest takeaway was a story about Jeff Bezos showing up to a debrief with three to four pages of handwritten notes on candidates, while everyone else showed up with nothing. That level of intentionality is what most agencies are missing entirely. The real problem isn't that agency owners don't care about hiring. It's that they go in underprepared, unclear on exactly what they're looking for, leaning on gut instinct, and writing role descriptions that don't reflect the actual job. To ensure you're getting applications from candidates that truly align with your agency and the required role, every part of the hiring process should be a test. Attention to detail? Bury the real application instructions at the bottom of the job post and see who finds them. Hiring a senior exec? Don't tell them much, give them a week and ask them to come back with a 90-day success plan. If they dive into answers before they ask a single question, that tells you everything. The point isn't the process for its own sake. It's that rigor on the front end reduces the cost of being wrong, and in an agency, being wrong on a hire is expensive for a long time. Watch Who You're Hiring From: Big Agency Talent Doesn't Always Travel Well There's a version of agency hiring that looks like a smart move: pull experienced people from larger, more established shops and let them install what's already working somewhere else. Here's why that doesn't work: You end up with talented people who are skilled at operating inside infrastructure, not building it. When there's no large team to direct, no resource pool to draw from, no SOP baked in for the last decade, they stall. The answer when things aren't cut and dried can be "that's not my job." And then it's nobody's job. Scott saw a version of this play out during the Olympic bid. Big consulting firms had seconded teams into the organization, and the ones who thrived were the ones who could operate in ambiguity. The ones who couldn't were waiting for a structure that was never going to show up. The lesson isn't that experienced people from large agencies are bad hires. It's that the ability to figure things out without a system to lean on is the filter. And you have to test for it explicitly, because someone's resume will not tell you whether they have it. Declining Revenue Doesn't Equal Failure, but You Have to Know What You're Actually Measuring Your revenue may seem like the only metric that felt like it matters when it's going up every year. However, a modest drop of five or ten percent, can be a big psychological blow even though profit improves and client impact is strong. That's a vanity metric doing its job: making growth feel like identity. Scott hit a similar inflection point when a former client asked him a simple question, why are you growing? Scott didn't have a clean answer. He'd been operating on the assumption that growth was inherently the goal, not a means to something else. The conversation points to a structural reality: if revenue is the only number you track, you'll optimize for it even when it costs you margin, leverage, and time. The healthier question is whether the agency is building toward the outcome you actually want, more optionality, a sellable asset, or just more control over your calendar. Revenue is a lagging indicator of that. Not the scoreboard. The Decision to Sell Your Agency Has Nothing to Do With Your Number Most agency owners carry a number in their head of what they want to walk away with when they sell. The problem is that the number is usually arbitrary, the market timing is unpredictable, and nobody warned them about the identity crisis that hits the week after closing. The right time to sell isn't a target revenue year or a specific EBITDA multiple. It's when you know exactly what you're walking toward and when the thought of running the agency has stopped feeling like a challenge and started feeling like a weight you've been carrying for six months straight. On the valuation side, Scott's question about what agency owners get wrong surfaced a hard truth: if your EBITDA is under a million dollars, your multiple takes a significant hit, and the buyer math looks very different than what you've been calculating off top-line revenue. Build the foundation like you intend to sell it. Get rid of what you hate. Make it structurally independent. Then you have real options,  whether or not you ever actually sell.

In this episode of CX Files, Peter Ryan speaks with Sarah Leff about Interact CC's expansion into South Africa's Eastern Cape, exploring why the region is emerging as a compelling alternative to traditional CX hubs like Cape Town and Johannesburg. Leff explains that while South Africa has long been a natural partner for UK-based customer experience delivery - thanks to cultural alignment, language, and time zone compatibility - the Eastern Cape offers a distinct advantage: significantly lower attrition, abundant untapped graduate talent, and greater cost stability. The conversation highlights how Interact's people-centric, employee-owned model aligns well with a region where jobs are valued as long-term careers rather than stepping stones, resulting in stronger engagement and performance. Together, they argue that as CX buyers move beyond cost-driven outsourcing toward value, resilience, and talent quality, newer locations like the Eastern Cape represent the next evolution of Africa's role in global service delivery.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-leff-5338124/ https://interactcc.com/   Summary: Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the expansion of Interact Contact Centers into the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. Sarah Leff, Managing Director of Interact Global, explains the decision to set up in the Eastern Cape due to lower attrition rates (15-25%) compared to other hubs like Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg (30-40%). The region offers a highly educated workforce, neutral accents, and lower costs. Interact's new site in Port Elizabeth employs around 100 people, with plans to scale up. The company values its people-centric approach and strong client partnerships, which have lasted over a decade.

Plus, we explore what separates players who last in the NBA from those who don't, the importance of character and fit when signing talent, and why communication, honesty, and trust are at the core of every successful player-agent relationship. He also shares his journey into the industry - from building relationships at college to working his way up inside Glushon Sports Management, learning every aspect of the business along the way. A fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the NBA from the agent's perspective - covering player movement, team dynamics, and what it really takes to build a long-term career in the league.

Planet Poet-Words in Space – NEW PODCAST!  LISTEN to my WIOX show (originally aired February 10th, 2026) featuring poet Barbara Leff.  Barbara, joining the show from San Francisco, discusses and reads from her books AND GOD SAID…A Brief History of Creation, and Undertow. Planet Poet's Poet-At-Large, Pamela Manché Pearce, also appears on the show. Born and raised in New York, Barbara Leff discovered poetry at the age of 12 and has explored the genre ever since.  Her work has appeared in various journals, including Fourteen Hills, Fault Line and Ibbetson Street. Her first collection, AND GOD SAID . . . A Brief History of Creation, finalist for the DA VINCI prize for the book cover, is based on the Book of Genesis and published by Broadstone Books.  Her second Collection, LUCK, a collaboration with visual artist, David Maxim is devoted to forms and her most recent collection, UNDERTOW was published in 2024, also by Broadstone Books.  She lives in San Francisco with her wife, Arlene Singer, and their dog, Baxter. barbaraleffpoet.com,  pamelampearce.comPraise for AND GOD SAID . . . A Brief History of Creation …AND GOD SAID... is a brilliant retelling of The Book of Genesis, one of the foundational texts of Western culture.

This is a wonderful and exhilarating book --- Alan Shapiro, Author of ten poetry collections including Tantalus in Love and Old War Poems Praise for UNDERTOW ….These deftly crafted poems treat the quotidian, the metaphysical, and the magical- “as if I could grab a handful of stars from the sky and toss them on the tiles at your feet.” Sharply observed, heartrending and celebratory by turns, UNDERTOW conducts us through a lifetime of landscapes its fascination with orientation in shifting memory and place becoming our own.--Susan Cobin, Author, What You Choose

Shiur given by Rabbi Zev Leff as a guest speaker in Yeshiva. Introduction by Bezalel Rudinsky. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY. (Slight recording issue in the introduction.)

In Well Worth Saving (Yale University Press, 2019), Professor Laurel Leff explores how American universities responded to the sudden and urgent appeals for help from scholars trapped in Nazi-dominated Europe. Although many scholars were welcomed into faculty or research positions in the US, thousands more tried to find a way over and failed. Those who were unable to flee were left to face the horrors of the Holocaust. In this rigorously researched book, Laurel Leff rescues from obscurity scholars who were deemed "not worth saving" and tells the riveting, full story of the hiring decisions universities made during the Nazi era. Laurel Leff is Professor of Journalism and Associate Director of Jewish Studies at Northeastern University. This interview was conducted by Renee Hale, who holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and works in R&D for the food and beverage industry. She is the author of The Nightstorm Files, a voracious reader, and enjoys sharing the joy of discovering new perspectives with listeners. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever struggled with procrastination, self-sabotage, or staying motivated, this episode is for you.I'm joined byJustin Leff,Behavioral Awareness Coach and founder ofSolilium Coaching, who specializes in helping people break through mental roadblocks.

The journey from struggle to strength in recovery is one of profound transformation. What begins as a battle against darkness, uncertainty, and pain evolves into a testament to resilience, hope, and personal growth. In the midst of struggle, we often find the greatest opportunities for change—each challenge met with determination becomes a stepping stone toward a life of renewed purpose. Our guest this week shares his gripping journey from addiction to sobriety, recounting his struggles with alcohol and drugs that began in his late teenage years, from hitting rock bottom and being arrested on his high school graduation night to undergoing a mini-intervention in college to finding his path to recovery and inspiring others to transform their struggles into strengths. In 2006, one week shy of his 19th birthday, Mitch found himself in rehab for drug addiction. After spending time in rehab, halfway houses, and collegiate recovery programs, he moved to New York and made something special of his life. He started ‘Mitch Motivates' after noticing the need for experienced, independent experts in the recovery community.  He has been in recovery since 2006 when he was only 19. For over 17 years, Mitch has been a leader and expert in addiction, recovery, sobriety, and mental health. In his book, “My Addiction, My Superpower,” Mitch shares his recovery journey in detail, in which he reveals the lessons he learned and breaks them down into twelve easy tips for anyone who has been impacted by addiction, mental health, or substance abuse. Topics Discussed: Honoring yourself (and others) by putting your sobriety first  The power of telling your story through positivity, honesty, and vulnerability  Why recovery requires our whole-hearted attention and letting go of our ego Finding strength in overcoming failure and moving forward (resilience) Keeping your sobriety simple and consistent for long-term recovery Connect with Mitch Leff: Email: mitch@mitchmotivates.com  Website: https://mitchmotivates.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitchmotivates All Social: @MitchMotivates     My Addiction, My SuperPower - Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRVQYQ4G?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_W7QFA919DB4GEE9KJGXY&language=en-US    Connect with us on Social:   IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverymd/  FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/positiverecoverymd/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Additional Links: Want to receive FREE daily Positive InterventionS from Dr. Powers' Positive Recovery Daily Guide?
