Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you thinking about expanding your agency through acquisitions? Buying another firm can be one of the fastest ways to scale, but only if you choose the right partners and nail the cultural fit. Otherwise, growth can quickly turn into chaos. Today's featured guest has been through five acquisitions, each one teaching her a different (and sometimes painful) lesson about what truly makes a merger succeed. In this episode, she opens up about her biggest acquisition missteps, the cultural mismatches that nearly derailed integrations, forecasting errors she didn't see coming, and the identity challenges that arise when two teams collide. Kimberly Eberl is the Founder and CEO of The Motion Agency, a full service marketing and communications shop with offices in Chicago, Cincinnati, and Nashville. While the agency offers everything from creative to content, it is unusually strong in public relations with roughly 20 PR pros on staff. Kimberly has completed five acquisitions, navigated the cultural and financial highs and lows of M&A, and grown Motion into one of the most respected independent agencies in the Chicago market. In this episode, we'll discuss: When acquisitions help agencies scale—and when they backfire. Lessons learned from five agency acquisitions. Why agency owners often misjudge valuation and earnouts.

From Fired Account Director to Agency Founder Kimberly jokes that she is one of those founders who got fired into entrepreneurship. At her previous agency, the account director role was undefined and impossible to succeed in. The revolving door should have been a clue. She lasted a year before being let go and scrambling to figure out her next move. With no grand plan, she fell into freelancing in 2006. The economy was healthy. The demand came fast. And pretty quickly she reached that moment every accidental agency owner hits. Either say no to work or hire help. She chose to hire. That early decision set the tone for the next decade. Instead of trying to do it all herself, she leaned into building a team and letting the business grow past her personal capacity. Outgrowing a Single-Service Model: Moving Beyond One Specialty Kimberly started as a PR pro. That focus worked for a while, but eventually she noticed how much money she was leaving on the table. Clients wanted websites, creative, content, and she was constantly referring the work away. The big shift happened when she decided to expand beyond PR and bring more capabilities in-house. This meant hiring outside her comfort zone and learning how to oversee work she could not personally do. That decision opened the door to real growth. Many agency owners get stuck right there. They stay in their one specialty because it is safe. Kimberly pushed through that discomfort and built a service mix clients actually wanted. The Reality of Acquiring Another Agency: Lessons from 5 Acquisitions Kimberly opted to add these new services through acquisitions. So far, she has completed five and every one had a different lesson. Her first major acquisition was bold. She bought an agency twice the size of her own. Financially and emotionally, it was a lot. Looking back, she admits she may not do a deal that large again, especially in a specialty she did not personally understand. But she also learned that size does not determine complexity. A one-person agency with contractors had just as many integration headaches as a larger shop. What mattered most was agency culture. Some deals looked perfect on paper but fell apart because the values, expectations, and behaviors did not align. One deal in particular was financially great and culturally awful. She kept one client from that acquisition. Another deal was financially terrible but culturally perfect. Years later, most of those staff members are still with her. Her biggest warning: never ignore cultural red flags during the courting phase. Take time to hang out with the sellers, how they operate, and experience their company's culture. Go to dinner, Travel together. You'll notice small behaviors (snapping over minor problems, chronic lateness, lack of transparency) that won't disappear after the contract is signed. Valuation Mistakes That Kill Good Deals Kimberly also dove into how she approaches valuations and why so many sellers get this part wrong. She focuses on future performance, realistic forecasts, and removing costs that will not continue after the sale. She also pushes back on inflated projections. If an owner claims revenue will double, the earnout should reflect that. Big promises are fine, but they should come with big accountability. One agency she walked away from wanted a valuation equal to twice their gross revenue. They were using cash-based accounting and ignoring profitability. It was an immediate red flag. Kimberly's advice to owners is simple. Build a business that is sellable even if you never plan to sell. Get your financials clean. Use accrual accounting. And be realistic about your numbers. Leadership, Loyalty, and the Hardest Skill — Letting Go As the agency scaled, leadership challenges became just as complex as financial ones. Kimberly admits she is confused about why she is the largest woman-owned agency in Chicago at only seventy people. She is proud of the title, but she wonders why more women are not reaching similar scale. There are no differences in capability, but many female founders still hit a ceiling often tied to loyalty, delegation, or difficulty letting people go. Some owners, especially women, treat their team like family and struggle to make hard decisions around performance. She admitted she has been loyal to a fault at times and is working on finding a healthy balance. Agencies function more like all star sports teams. The roster changes every year. People get promoted, moved, or sometimes released. That does not mean you failed. It means you are adapting so the team as a whole can win. Kimberly is even working on building hobbies outside her agency because she noticed how much of her identity was tied to work. It is a relatable struggle for founders who have poured years into their companies. AI Changes the Work, Not the Need for Agencies Let's be clear, agencies are not going away because of AI. Kimberly certainly doesn't believe that. She treats AI like an intern. Helpful. Fast. But still needing quality control, creativity, and leadership. Clients still want real relationships. They want someone who understands context and nuance. Agencies serving tech-savvy individuals will feel churn from AI, but agencies serving plumbers, service-based businesses, and non marketers will be fine. These clients want to stay in their lane and hire experts for everything else. Marketing evolves, but agencies survive because the business model adapts.

How do you recognize someone who has actually earned wisdom? In this conversation, Jayson breaks down what makes an elder an elder. He explains why it has nothing to do with age or status, how real elders show emotional maturity, what it means to hold space without fixing or rescuing, and why outgrowing your parents is a part of becoming an elder. If you want to understand who to trust, who to learn from, or how to become someone worth following, this episode lays it out clearly.Timestamps:2:21 - Elders are people who did the work5:46 - Elders hold space9:28 - Outgrowing your parentsLinks:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Relationship School⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Jayson on social media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠

You don't hit a ceiling because you're doing something wrong. You hit it because you've outgrown the container you're operating in. This episode is about what it takes to really expand in your business.. It's about the moment when the version of you who started your business can no longer lead the version of the business you want next. I'm sharing what it looks like when growth starts feeling heavy, why that's actually a signal (not a problem), and how expanding your container changes the way you lead, sell, price, and make decisions. In this episode, we explore: What it actually means to outgrow your business container Why growth often feels uncomfortable right before expansion happens The identity shifts required to move into your next income level How CEO-level thinking changes your relationship with money, pricing, and decisions Why expansion isn't about adding more: it's about holding more The "flower pot problem" and how to know when you need a bigger one What changes when you stop operating like the version who started the business How expanding your container creates ease, confidence, and momentum Why the next level doesn't require a new strategy: it requires a new posture The subtle shifts that separate entrepreneurs who plateau from those who scale If you're in this season… You've built proof. You have results and momentum.  Your business works, but it doesn't feel as expansive as it should. You might feel financially tighter than expected for your level of experience. You might notice you're tolerating things that no longer align. You might feel a quiet pull toward bigger conversations, cleaner systems, and more intentional growth. It's a sign you're ready for expansion. About the Expansion Era Mastermind I also share details about my upcoming 6-month mastermind for established entrepreneurs who are ready to expand their income, leadership, and business ecosystem. This is for you if you: Are already having five-figure months Know your body of work is meant to scale Want to lead at a higher level without burning out Are ready for cleaner systems, stronger decisions, and long-term growth

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   In this Q&A episode, Coach Frank Rich is joined by Coach Arnold, Head Coach inside The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood, to answer real questions submitted by men who are actively working to break free from porn addiction and rebuild their lives.   This conversation goes far beyond tactics.   Frank and Arnold address two deeply personal struggles that silently keep many men stuck: • Trying to change others instead of changing yourself • Carrying guilt, anxiety, and responsibility for people you're no longer meant to carry   If you're growing, evolving, and starting to feel resistance from relationships around you — this episode will hit home.   Questions Answered in This Episode 1️⃣ "My partner and I watch porn together and don't see a problem with it. How should I respond?"   Frank breaks down why it's not your job to convince anyone they have a problem and how trying to do so often drains your energy and pulls you back into old patterns.   Coach Arnold adds a neuroscience-based perspective, explaining how pairing porn with intimacy can create dangerous conditioning loops in the nervous system. Over time, this can lead to dependency, sexual dysfunction, and the inability to perform without external stimulation.   Key takeaway: Real change doesn't come from arguments. It comes from identity, boundaries, and embodied transformation.     2️⃣ "How do I break free from the savior / rescuer / caretaker mentality while still serving my family?"   This question opens the door to a powerful discussion on people-pleasing, guilt, and upper-limit problems, especially with extended family.   Frank draws a clear line between: • Being a protector and provider inside your home • Being emotionally controlled by guilt outside your home   When a man commits to growth, old family dynamics can pull him back into past identities — often becoming a hidden trigger for relapse.   Coach Arnold explains how men unconsciously self-sabotage success to avoid outgrowing others, and why boundaries aren't selfish — they're necessary.   Key takeaway: You don't prove growth with words. You live it and let others respond how they choose.     Core Themes Covered • Why trying to "save" others keeps you stuck • Porn, conditioning, and nervous system wiring • Identity change vs behavior control • People-pleasing as a hidden relapse trigger • Family guilt, boundaries, and masculine leadership • Outgrowing relationships without resentment • Letting action — not arguments — lead transformation     This Episode Is For Men Who: • Feel torn between who they were and who they're becoming • Experience guilt when they start doing better than their family • Keep getting pulled back into old patterns around certain people • Want real freedom, not just short streaks • Are ready to lead their life from identity, not fear     Join the Brotherhood If you're ready to stop fighting alone and step into a container built for growth, support, and freedom:   ➡ Join The Rebuilt Man Skool Community — Free 7-Day Trial www.TheRebuiltMan.com/7dayreset   Inside you'll gain access to: Daily accountability Weekly coaching The 7-Day Reset The 12-Week "Reboot Your Life" Framework And a brotherhood of men who refuse to quit   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

Are your results being shaped by effort, or by something far more subtle and powerful?

In this episode, I get brutally honest about why I've resisted showing up and selling, and how every fear I had about “failure” was really a fear of rejection. I break down the psychology behind why high-achieving women self-sabotage: not because they can't heal, but because they're terrified that healing will separate them from the people they're scared to outgrow. If you've ever stayed small to avoid losing relationships, this conversation is going to expose the cost of dimming your own power. And if you're ready to stop shrinking and finally rise into the woman God keeps showing you in your visions, this episode is your wake-up call.Come meet me in San Diego on November 28th, 2025 for the Healing Event — if this episode hits you, you're exactly the woman who needs to be in that room.Doors open at 6:00 p.m.Get Your Tickets Here

What happens when beauty, shame, and ambition collide? In this episode, Krista sits down with renowned couples therapist Dr. Molly Burrets to dissect the invisible burden so many women carry—the pressure to be attractive, accomplished, and "enough." Ahead, they reveal hard truths about self-image in the age of social media, untangling where validation comes from and why it's never as secure as we hope. Krista + Dr. Molly bravely unpack the emotional armor women wear to cope with comparison, aging, and fear of rejection.  You'll hear powerful personal stories that illuminate how our earliest relationships shape adult attachment, and why "winning" by society's standards never guarantees true connection or satisfaction. This convo will shift how you see yourself, your body, and your relationships forever. We also talk about: The science and stigma of cellulite How comparison + body image are amplified by social media The “reflected sense of self” + how to reclaim your own worth Why beauty + power are fleeting (and healthier sources for self-esteem) Navigating the double-bind: wanting male attention, fearing its consequences The difference between self-care + self-soothing (and why both matter) How childhood patterns + family dynamics create adult attachment styles Real talk on healing anxious attachment—alone and in partnership Outgrowing the “go through hell to get to heaven” relationship pattern The rising standards for women—and why finding a partner feels harder as you grow Resources: Website: www.drmollyburrets.com Instagram @drmollyburrets Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Our Place | Visit fromourplace.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off sitewide.  SKIMS | Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.com/almost30.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on StoicismIn this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, we reflect on a powerful line from Seneca's Letters to Lucilius, Letter 12: On Old Age:“How nice is it to have outworn one's desires and left them behind.”Seneca, Letters to Lucilius, Letter 12Seneca's words remind us that there's peace in growing beyond our old desires. What many see as loss, fewer passions, less drive, a quieter rhythm of life, can instead be freedom. The Stoics teach that as we age, we shed the compulsions that once ruled us and move closer to calm, reason, and virtue. Seneca himself wrote this late in life, finding new joy not in chasing but in observing, not in striving but in understanding.This reflection connects deeply with Epictetus' warning not to let our wants drive us, and with Marcus Aurelius' reminder to “be content with what nature gives.” It points to the Stoic discipline of Desire, learning to want only what's up to us, and to the discipline of Assent, choosing which thoughts and impulses deserve our attention.So what can we take from Seneca's view on aging today?Learn to see detachment not as loss but as liberation.Recognize how changing desires can open space for peace and reflection.Use each stage of life to align more closely with virtue rather than vanity.Seneca invites us to see old age not as a decline but as a refinement, the quiet strength that comes when we finally stop running after what never mattered.For more, check out this related article with quotes on dealing with death:https://viastoica.com/10-seneca-quotes-on-death/And if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quotesMake sure to subscribe to more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: badmic.com

Diwali is the perfect moment to upgrade your relationship with desire. In this episode, we contrast the material formula—“if the world gives me what I want, I'll be happy”—with the yogic move to become the observer of desire, calm it with clear knowledge, and outgrow it through devotion. As love deepens, the craving mind quiets and new, service-shaped desires appear. Expect festival-of-lights reflections, Bhakti insights on detachment and fulfillment, a Bob-Dylan-approved reminder that we all serve something, and a few laughs about Raghu's gym heroics and MRI adventures—because even on the path of devotion, humor helps the medicine go down.

And how do you know when it's time to stop hustling like a freelancer and start leading like a CEO? Today's featured guest found herself in that situation and made the bold choice to go from career misstep to becoming an agency owner. She'll dive into what it really takes to go from a one-woman shop with dial-up internet to leading a team with vision, systems, and staying power. From handwritten letters with a 15% close rate to breaking free from client dependency and leveraging AI without losing the human touch, she shares the hard-earned lessons every agency owner needs to hear. Kriston Sellier is the President and Founder of Id8, a specialized branding agency based in Atlanta. With more than 25 years in the business, she's built a reputation for helping food, beverage, and manufacturing brands stand out and thrive. Kriston is passionate about research-driven branding, cultivating strong communities, and proving that the human side of leadership is just as critical as the strategy. In this episode, we'll discuss:                                    Starting over after being fired. Outgrowing freelance mode. What do agency owners need to grow?

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Thriving in the Agency World After Being Fired Kriston didn't step into agency ownership with a clean, corporate plan. She was fired. After leaving IBM to co-found an agency, she found herself pushed out after a handshake deal gone wrong. At 20-something, she was suddenly unemployed and staring down two options: get another job or finally chase her dream of starting her own shop. It wasn't easy, but that leap turned out to be the right one. Starting out with no clients, she set a modest goal of making $35,000 in her first year. Instead, she closed out her first nine months with $90,000. That was the moment she knew she wasn't just freelancing; she was building something real. From Cold Calls to Handwritten Letters: Building the First Client Base Kriston started with just a basement office and dial-up internet. Since this was the 90s, if her husband picked up the phone line upstairs it would disconnect the whole system. She started out making cold calls to every food and beverage brand in the Yellow Pages. Additionally, she also sent handwritten letters pitching her services, yielding an impressive 15% close rate. In today's digital-first world, that kind of return sounds impossible, but back then it got her first wave of clients. It's a reminder that persistence and a personal touch can cut through the noise, even if the tools have changed. Outgrowing Freelance Mode and Thinking Like a CEO Like many agency owners, Kriston spent the early years acting more like a freelancer than a CEO. That all changed in 2006 when one client made up 75% of her business. The sleepless nights and anxiety from being handcuffed to a single account forced her to rethink everything. A colleague recommended working with a business consultant, so Kriston hired one and for four years, she worked with a full-time consultant who helped her transition from operator to CEO. That shift meant putting systems in place, committing to sales, and most importantly, diversifying her client base. Within the first year of working with her consultant, she added 25 new clients and broke free from the one-client trap. What Agency CEOs Need to Grow? Kriston strongly believes that CEOs should surround themselves with subject matter experts. Every agency owner needs a good advisory board that tells them the truths they doesn't necessarily want to hear, which is why she recommends relying on financial, HR, and sales consultants that can help you look at things from a different perspective. Regarding her role as CEO, Kriston definitely sees herself as more of a coach than a manager. For her, leadership is about helping team members uncover the real issues behind their challenges and guiding them to their own solutions. Likewise, the best team members are those who show they're coachable and open to feedback. She doesn't see failure as the end of the road but as a symptom of something deeper. Her job is to help her team ask the right questions, recognize the root cause, and take ownership of the fix. That shift from micromanaging tasks to coaching outcomes not only freed her up as a leader but also empowered her team to make better decisions without her constant oversight. AI, Research, and the Future of Agencies Running a research-based agency, Kriston is a big fan of Perplexity, a research-focused AI she uses 20–40 times a day for everything from writing stronger emails to analyzing massive datasets. But she's quick to point out that AI isn't a replacement for agencies—it's an enhancer. Where some fear AI will eliminate agency work, Kriston agrees that companies will still want experts to navigate the complexity and not DIY everything themselves. Clients may use AI for certain tasks, but they'll still rely on agencies for strategy, creativity, and execution.. AI + human expertise is the winning formula. And with large organizations outsourcing more marketing again, Kriston believes the future is bright for agencies that bring innovation, research, and personal connection to the table. Cooperation Over Competition Kriston wants agency owners to stop treating each other like competitors and start seeing each other as collaborators. She believes the industry's future depends on agency owners being open, honest, and willing to share both wins and lessons learned. Most agency owners see every other shop as a threat when they're starting out, fearful of competition instead of open to collaboration. At some point, however, through masterminds and peer groups, they come to realize the real growth comes when owners start to build community and create strategic partnerships. For Kriston, it all comes back to community, the same mission she set when she started ID8 decades ago. Build the community, and the business will follow.

One of the most difficult parts of personal growth isn't the weight you lose or the habits you build. It's realizing that not every relationship grows with you. In this episode of Healthi Life, Community Leader Ashley explores the emotional reality of outgrowing relationships when your personal growth shifts.As Ashley shares, “The relationships that are right for you will never require you to shrink—so stop apologizing for your growth and start owning it.”This conversation dives into how to navigate the grief, guilt, and loneliness that can come with change, while also embracing the freedom and authenticity that come from honoring your evolution. Because outgrowing someone doesn't mean you've failed them, it means you're finally honoring yourself.

Happy Friday, Regulars! This week's RGF hits deep. Kev's been doing the work in therapy, and he's cracking open some big realizations… like why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable, why we keep absorbing everyone else's emotions, and why people act weird when we start changing. When you've spent your life being the fixer or the feeler, it's hard to suddenly stop carrying the weight. But healing means learning to show up for yourself, too. Kev opens up about how he's finally learning to hold space for others without abandoning himself, and how he's navigating the emotional pushback that can come when we grow. It's a reminder that saying “no” doesn't make you selfish and growth isn't always glamorous, but peace? Peace is worth it. Tune in, laugh with us, and remember… you're not alone in this healing thing.

In today's episode, I sit down with my best friend and business partner, Brian Mark, to talk about friends and success. The hard truth? If your circle is holding you back, you've got to cut ties. Not everyone is built to grow with you. Some people will stay stuck no matter how hard you try to drag them forward.

Today I'm talking with my dear friend Suzanne Warye—creator of The Sober Mom Life and author of The Sober Shift: A Modern-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life—about why sobriety can be less about “rock bottom” and more about reclamation. I asked Suzanne Warye, author of The Sober Shift, to share how to stop obsessing about “forever,” live in the present, and use simple shifts—like counting sober firsts—to build momentum without shame or perfection. She breaks down the mindset tools that actually helped her, why she says “sober for good” (for the good of your mind, relationships, presence), and how to keep going when your brain is screaming for the easy button.
