On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig back to the show. Doc is the new permanent CEO of Stansberry Research's parent company MarketWise, as well as the editor of five newsletters at Stansberry and a member of the Investment Committee for Stansberry Portfolio Solutions.  Doc kicks off the show by asking Dan about his recent river cruise vacation on the Mississippi River and sharing stories about his own trip to Lisbon, Portugal a few weeks ago. This leads to a conversation about Doc and Dan's first meeting in 2007 and how Dan was a "diligence check" for Doc joining Stansberry in the first place. Doc also talks about his permanent appointment as MarketWise CEO after almost a year holding the interim role. (0:46) Next, Doc discusses the financial-newsletter industry and what sets Stansberry apart in this era where anyone can self-publish content – including free content and AI-generated content. "I want us to be known as a trusted source," he notes. As Doc emphasizes, Stansberry is good at finding talented analysts who work hard, know their stuff, and can meet deadlines. He also looks back on the company since its "disaster" going public, previous leadership that didn't respect the company's history, and what has mattered most to him since becoming CEO. (23:57) Finally, Doc explains that caring about what you're doing and the experience you want to give is the most important thing in business. He gives shout-outs to several folks at MarketWise who are doing just this, from Stansberry's Executive Editor Carli Flippen overseeing everything that gets published, to the marketing team and copywriters who care about the customers more than making a sale.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Agency owners often stay stuck in delivery because they fear stepping back will tank what's working. Brent Weaver shares how he transitioned from being the “product” to leading a 300-person agency without burning it all down—and why you need to step up if you want to scale. What You'll Learn Why staying “in delivery” caps your growth How to stop being the product and build leaders around you How to set a real “North Star” so your team stops bugging you Why you need to know your numbers and stop blaming seasonality The mindset shift from VFR (gut decisions) to IFR (data-driven scale) Key Takeaways Your agency won't scale if you're stuck in delivery. You must step back and coach leaders if you want freedom and growth. Clarity kills chaos. Set a clear vision so your team can act without needing you in every decision. Use the 1-3-1 method (1 problem, 3 options, 1 recommendation) to build leaders and stop being the fixer. Know your numbers. Seasonality is often a scapegoat for pipeline problems you can fix. Every change costs churn. If your change won't grow you by at least 20%, it's not worth the churn. Stop flying VFR. Use data to run your agency if you want to scale without chaos. Are you still viewed as a ‘product' of your agency? Maybe you've considered stepping back from the day-to-day but are terrified you'll break what's working. Our featured guest is the newly appointed CEO of E2M Solutions and he shares what it's been like going from being the main “product” at an agency he built and grew, to stepping in to run a 300-person white-label agency. From losing the fear of breaking what already worked to accepting it's better if he's usually not in client call, he explains how he's grown comfortable in his new role: coaching the core leadership team, amplifying culture, and making sure hundreds of projects and thousands of tasks get executed well. Brent's journey is packed with lessons on what real leadership looks like when you're ready to grow. Brent Weaver is the CEO of E2M Solutions, a 300-person white-label agency helping digital agencies scale through web, digital marketing, and AI services. Before E2M, Brent founded and grew UGURUS, supporting agencies to niche, price, and position better. Now, instead of talking about scaling, he's deep in the trenches doing it. In this episode, we'll discuss: Stop being the product and build leaders around you How to set a real “North Star” so your team stops bugging you Why you need to know your numbers and stop blaming seasonality  Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio From “Gainfully Unemployed” to Leading 300 People A few months before stepping in at E2M, Brent was living the dream: building a halfpipe in his barn and enjoying long walks on his property. Then, he jumped back in, this time not to build a new business, but to lead a 300-person agency that already had a killer product, a strong culture, and a commitment to service. Brent's move is the dream scenario for many agency owners who've spent years in the grind. He joined a team that's already winning and is in the process of figuring out how to take it to the next level without screwing it up. However, running an operation that serves hundreds of clients and handles hundreds of projects every month, the stakes are bigger, the team is bigger, and the impact is bigger. It's a different kind of pressure. When You're No Longer “The Product” If you're running a 5–20 person agency, you might feel like stepping up to a 300-person team would just mean 300 people interrupting you all day with Slack pings. But Brent that's not how it works at that level. If you want to scale, you have to stop being the product. At UGURUS, Brent was often the one jumping on client calls to “fix it.” At E2M, he's focused on coaching the core leadership team, amplifying culture, and making sure hundreds of projects and thousands of tasks get executed well without him being the bottleneck. As he explains, even though he loves speaking to clients, there probably shouldn't be a situation where he HAS to jump on a call with them. Brent believes agency owners should begin stepping back from daily agency operations once the team team grows to around 20 people. At this point, you should start to think about your business's leadership structure, management structure, and spend more time thinking about the “middle” of the business vs. just the vision. Take note: If you're stuck in delivery and putting out fires, your agency won't scale. Vision: Your Agency's North Star If you've heard agency owners talk about the business “North Star,” you know how critical it is to set a clear vision your team can rally around. Your vision doesn't need to be some sappy paragraph you read before standups. It needs to be clear enough that everyone on your team can make decisions aligned with where you're going without bugging you every five minutes. At E2M, Brent and his team know exactly where they're headed over the next three to five years—and every decision flows from that. This is true freedom to Brent. His vision of freedom is not one where he has lots of time off, but rather one where he can do his job as CEO without being micromanaged and can choose his path towards the agreed strategic objectives. If you want to stop being the product at your agency and you still don't have this clarity, your team will constantly come to you, expecting you to make every call. If you want to get out of that cycle, set your North Star. Then, overcommunicate it. The 1-3-1 Method to Building Leaders If you're still solving every problem in your agency, try the 1-3-1 method Jason used: What's the 1 problem you're facing? What are 3 options you've considered? What's the 1 you recommend? Teach your team to think critically and solve their own problems, and you'll stop being the default fixer. This is how you build leaders inside your agency instead of becoming the only adult in an adult daycare. Don't Let “Do No Harm” Paralyze You For Brent, being a good leader means getting down to why things are working or not working at the agency, with the same level of detail whether things are working or not. As a leader, if you don't have a firm grip on the business and why it's going up, down, or staying the same, you can't get a clear idea of how to improve the company or not damage what's working. New CEO's often come in with the idea of “doing no harm” by changing things too much as they start. Think about it like this: Any meaningful change will cause about 20% churn. If the upside of your change isn't at least 20% growth, it's not worth it. Don't be afraid of making changes. Just remember that if you decide to change the pricing, pivot your offer, or build a new division, it better be worth the churn it will inevitably create. This mindset frees you to take the swings that actually move your agency forward. The Seasonality Cop-Out If you truly have a firm grip on the business, you'll also avoid the seasonality cop-out.. “Summer's slow.” “Everyone's on vacation.” “Budget freezes in Q4.” We've all heard it, but as Brent learned at Digital Ocean (where you either knew your numbers or got roasted), seasonality isn't causality. If you see lead flow drop in the summer, don't blame the weather. Look deeper: Are you running events that drive leads earlier in the year but have no Q3 pipeline activity? Do your ad campaigns pause when the kids get out of school? You don't fix “seasonality” with wishful thinking. You fix it by identifying the root cause, putting numbers to the impact, and designing campaigns or partnerships to fill the gap. If you want next June to be different, start planning now. Clarity over confusion wins every time. Flying VFR vs. IFR: How Agency Owners Get Stuck With both the interviewer and interviewee being licensed pilots, we of course got this banger analogy when talking about decision-making for agency owners: Visual Flight Rules (VFR): You fly by looking out the window, adjusting based on what you see. Instrument Flight Rules (IFR): You fly by instruments, allowing you to go further, faster, and more safely. Most agencies operate under VFR, making gut decisions with limited data. This approach works when you're small, but to scale, you need to fly IFR, building a data system that tells you what's working, what's not, and what needs fixing. At E2M, Brent is shifting the company to operate on data, allowing them to scale smarter and make big moves (like building out their AI and Go High Level divisions) with confidence.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig back to the show. Doc is the new permanent CEO of Stansberry Research's parent company MarketWise, as well as the editor of five newsletters at Stansberry and a member of the Investment Committee for Stansberry Portfolio Solutions.  Doc kicks off the show by asking Dan about his recent river cruise vacation on the Mississippi River and sharing stories about his own trip to Lisbon, Portugal a few weeks ago. This leads to a conversation about Doc and Dan's first meeting in 2007 and how Dan was a "diligence check" for Doc joining Stansberry in the first place. Doc also talks about his permanent appointment as MarketWise CEO after almost a year holding the interim role. (0:46) Next, Doc discusses the financial-newsletter industry and what sets Stansberry apart in this era where anyone can self-publish content – including free content and AI-generated content. "I want us to be known as a trusted source," he notes. As Doc emphasizes, Stansberry is good at finding talented analysts who work hard, know their stuff, and can meet deadlines. He also looks back on the company since its "disaster" going public, previous leadership that didn't respect the company's history, and what has mattered most to him since becoming CEO. (23:57) Finally, Doc explains that caring about what you're doing and the experience you want to give is the most important thing in business. He gives shout-outs to several folks at MarketWise who are doing just this, from Stansberry's Executive Editor Carli Flippen overseeing everything that gets published, to the marketing team and copywriters who care about the customers more than making a sale.

This week, we discuss three big news stories: Kering has hired its new CEO, Luca de Meo, who comes from the automotive world, rather than the fashion or luxury sector. It's an inspired choice at a time when Kering desperately needs a new direction. We also talk about FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, announcing the launch of its own luxury fashion brand. And we discuss a bill passed in the French Senate that would curtail fast fashion brands like Shein and Temu, requiring them to pay extra taxes and banning them from advertising.

Picks for this week's Travelers Championship are made, with the added bonus of new headset microphones in rotation! There's some Don Rea chatter ahead of the KPMG Women's PGA in Frisco and more men's major championship golf is on your televisions this weekend at the Kaulig Companies Championship at Firestone. Be sure to tune in to CBS Sports Network on Wednesday for the debut of "Eye on Golf" at Noon ET!

   It's too early for any final judgement but cooler heads seem to be prevailing right now between the United States and Iran.  But it doesn't seem like it will stay that way.  It feels like Trump is waiting to see if Iran will fire first.    While Tucker Carlson is brawling with Ted Cruz, the best voice from the sidelines in all this belongs to Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.  He sent a brilliant note to the president, in private.  Trump made it public and it's historic and gorgeous.    Scott Bessent announces real wages are up more than they have been in 60 years, Wallet Hub names the best and worst run cities.   In sports, Salvy scores another Royals franchise record in a win over the Rangers, Caitlin Clark just gets abused again on the court and the WNBA seems uninterested in stopping all the bullying.  Chris Jones of the Chiefs gives advice about getting advice in the most Chris Jones way ever.  The PGA Tour has a new CEO that comes from the NFL and the ratings for the NBA Finals are in the tank.
