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 If you're one of the many owners concerned that AI will end the agency model, what are you doing to stay relevant? How are you building lasting relationships that help clients see your value beyond executing tasks? Artificial intelligence, automation, and enterprise-level change have everyone in the agency world wondering what's next. However, agencies have managed to stay relevant with past technological disruptions and the answer has always been: you need to adapt. Today's featured guest has scaled his business through seven iterations for over fourteen years by being willing to adapt to change, and the AI era is no exception. He'll unpack how agencies can stay relevant when technology, data, and client expectations are evolving faster than ever. He also talks about the importance of partnership-based client relationships and why soft skills (not just smart systems) are the real differentiator in the next decade. Ben Childs is the President of Digital Reach, a full-stack B2B marketing consultancy serving SaaS, cybersecurity, AI, and data-driven technology clients. With deep expertise in paid media, SEO, RevOps, and digital experience, Ben's team helps enterprise companies integrate their marketing, data, and operations to drive real revenue growth. Since launching in 2011, Digital Reach has evolved through multiple "versions" as it adapted to the changing marketing landscape, becoming one of the most respected players in modern B2B marketing. In this episode, we'll discuss: The soft skills edge that outperforms AI. Why you should start running toward the problem. The power of in-person connections in a remote-forward industry.

How Agencies Can Stay Relevant in AI Revolution At a recent Ad Week event, Ben heard a fellow agency leader predict that all agencies would be "dead in two years" because of AI. Her point: enterprise companies are developing their own language models and internal data systems, cutting agencies out of the picture. Ben does admit this is true. However, his outlook is more optimistic, seeing several possible solutions. Should agencies be partnering with third-party data providers? Should they adjust their skill set? In his view, the need for strategic expertise and technical problem-solving won't disappear anytime soon. The agencies that thrive will be those who adapt to new tools while deepening their human value—helping clients navigate complexity, not just execute tasks. "The reality," Ben explains, "is that hiring people to help you solve hard problems isn't going away. Business is always changing, and that's a huge opportunity for agency owners willing to think and integrate, not panic." Why Soft Skills Outperform AI in the Agency World As agencies evolve, the differentiator isn't going to be who can use AI faster, it's who can understand and support people better. When it comes to enterprise clients, marketing execution has become table stakes. What truly sets a great agency apart is the ability to navigate organizational politics, manage internal friction, and act as a trusted advisor inside complex companies. "We're armchair psychologists half the time," he laughs. "Our clients know we're good at SEO or paid media. What they really need is someone who helps them get things approved, makes their life easier, and has their back when things get tough." Soft problems will never go away and, Ben argues, may even increase in value when the execution problems potentially become commoditized. Agencies that ignore human connection will lose, just like traditional firms that refused to go digital twenty years ago. In the end, the "people part" never goes out of style. Adapting Your Agency: Lessons from 7 Business Iterations Ben started Digital Reach in 2011 using his grandmother's dresser as a desk and charging $200 a month for Google Ads management. Since then, the agency has reinvented itself seven times—each evolution aligning to new markets, services, and technologies. From scrappy freelancer to B2B consultancy, Ben's philosophy has stayed the same: build, learn, and change before you're forced to. "We're on Digital Reach 7.0 in 14 years," he says. "We'll probably hit version 12.0 in the next ten. You can't just ride your old business idea into Valhalla. Some people will always be better at adapting, and that will never change." WhyPartnership (Not Performance) Determines Client Retention When agencies talk about "partnership," it often sounds like marketing fluff. But Ben explains that true partnership is built on trust and reliability, not just metrics. Most clients don't fire agencies because of poor performance; they leave because of broken trust, poor communication, or lack of understanding. "When clients say, 'You don't get our business,' that's when numbers start to matter," Ben explains. "If they can't trust you when things go wrong, you're done." Ben understands that helping clients solve internal problems like procurement delays or team politics can do more to build loyalty than a great campaign. Running toward the problem, taking ownership, and communicating transparently are the fastest ways to strengthen relationships that last across multiple companies. Build Client Trust Fast by Running Toward the Problem Other than delivering results and making your clients' lives easier, Ben believes another powerful way to build trust is not being afraid to admit your mistakes and being quick to fix them. Honesty builds staying power. When agencies take responsibility for missteps and present a clear plan for fixing them, clients respond with respect, not resentment. Do not avoid the problem. In fact, you should run towards the problem and face the situation head on. You'll get more benefit of the doubt from clients with this attitude. Ben's team once led a client call with bad news—the metrics were down. Instead of hiding it, they explained what went wrong, what they learned, and how they'd adjust. "The client was ready to run through a wall for us after that," he says. "They loved that we owned it." The Power of In-Person Connection in a Remote-Forward Industry As agencies lean more into remote work, Ben calls for agencies to make an effort to meet with clients in person: "In-person will always be in vogue." It'll help your clients understand who you are, rather than just staring at your picture on Zoom, and trying to form a true connection. He encourages owners to set a clear revenue threshold for when to invest in face-to-face meetings—whether that's a kickoff, annual review, or shared conference. When clients meet you over pizza and a drink, it transforms the relationship from vendor to partner. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 415 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the critical importance of succession planning for dentists, emphasizing that every dentist will eventually need to consider their exit strategy. They explore various pathways for transitioning out of practice, including selling outright, forming partnerships, or selling to private equity. The conversation highlights the significance of understanding practice value, the emotional aspects of selling, and common mistakes to avoid in the planning process. The hosts encourage proactive planning to maximize the value of a dental practice and ensure a smooth transition. TAKEAWAYS Succession planning is essential for all dentists. Timing is crucial in the succession planning process. The value of a practice is often tied to its goodwill and assets. Selling a practice without proper planning can lead to significant losses. Partnerships can provide a smoother transition and better value. Private equity can offer liquidity but comes with risks. Emotional states can cloud decision-making in practice transitions. Clear financial records are vital for successful transitions. Investing in practice growth can enhance future sale value. Planning for succession should start early in a dentist's career.

On a brisk morning in the Valley, the Camping for Hunger Bus sits parked at Royal Plaza Shopping Center, buzzing with activity. Valley Today host Janet Michael welcomes listeners to a special conversation with Jason Craig, Senior Director of Community Health for Valley Health. Together, they broadcast live from the heart of a community initiative that's more than just a food drive—it's a movement to address hunger, health, and hope. Connecting Food, Health, and Community As donations pour in—bags of groceries, checks, and even children learning the value of giving—Janet and Jason dive into the complex web of factors that shape community health. Jason explains, "Community health is complicated. It's not just healthcare; it's food, housing, transportation, and workforce." He shares how Valley Health's triennial Community Health Needs Assessment guides their focus, revealing that 10% of hospital patients are food insecure. This startling statistic underscores the urgent need for access to healthy food, education on nutrition, and support for those facing chronic diseases. Partnerships that Make a Difference Transitioning from data to action, the conversation highlights the power of partnerships. Valley Health collaborates with local nonprofits, schools, and government agencies to implement solutions identified in the assessment. From supporting community gardens and food pack programs to investing in behavioral health facilities, the organization leverages its resources and "street cred" to seed sustainable change. Jason notes, "We can't be everywhere for everyone, but we can help others get started and make a difference." Education, Engagement, and Empowerment Throughout the conversation, Janet and Jason emphasize the importance of education—both for individuals learning how to prepare healthy meals and for the broader community understanding the challenges their neighbors face. They discuss the evolving nature of health needs, from access to care and mental health to housing and workforce development. The implementation process, Jason explains, is ongoing and open to all: "It takes a village. We want everyone involved—local governments, organizations, and community members." A Call to Action As the bus prepares to roll out with its bounty, the hosts urge listeners to stay engaged. Whether by reading the upcoming Community Health Needs Assessment, volunteering with local nonprofits, or simply donating a can of food, every action counts. Janet sums it up: "All the things we collect this week will benefit the community. Your time is running out to be part of it." Conclusion This conversation offers a window into the heart of a community rallying together—where health is more than medicine, and hope arrives on four wheels. Through candid conversation, practical insights, and a shared commitment to service, Janet and Jason inspire listeners to join the journey toward a healthier, more connected Valley.

In this episode of the JuvoHub podcast, host Jonathan Saar and guest Ed Buckley dive into the real-world dynamics between regional managers and property managers—how to prepare for site visits, set clear expectations, coach effectively, and keep stress low while results stay high. You'll hear field-tested practices like “Before you tell, ask,” walking the property (yes, on foot), knowing your numbers and your market, and creating an agenda that leads to action—not anxiety. TL;DR: Strong regional–property manager relationships thrive on preparation, clear communication, and mutual respect. Watch, follow, and share to help the industry lead with clarity, consistency, and respect. Where learning leads! Key Takeaways: 00:00 – Why this relationship matters: less stress, better results01:15 – Guest background: decades on both sides of multifamily03:20 – The purpose of a site visit: information + training moments04:35 – Regional prep that sets the tone: do your homework, bring questions06:55 – Skip the report binders: you already have the data08:00 – Be on time, set expectations, share the agenda09:35 – Coaching rule: “Before you tell, ask” to uncover real blockers11:40 – Communication traps: don't assume you know the whole picture12:45 – Don't “sneak up”: announce visits and know the team by name13:45 – Culture builders: engage maintenance, small talk that opens doors15:55 – Break bread: why lunch together boosts trust and candor17:20 – PM prep: know your KPIs, market, comps, and nearby developments19:35 – Data over opinions: answer with facts, not “I think”22:05 – Walk the property (on foot): model standards, pick up trash24:15 – Handling surprises: oldest ready unit test and accountability26:30 – “You are what your numbers say you are”: plan the comeback27:50 – Wrap-up: practical takeaways for calm, clear, consistent leadership Lead with Prep, Partnership, and Proof Great regional–PM relationships are built on preparation, clear expectations, and coaching that starts with questions—not directives. When regionals arrive on time with the data, walk the property, and model standards, they create space for PMs to respond with facts, not guesses. The result is a calm, consistent rhythm where people feel supported, issues surface faster, and the numbers improve—because everyone is working from the same plan. Class Dismissed!

Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington this week, with the foreign minister stressing how the relationship with the US is “a compass” in Cyprus' foreign policy.

In this episode, I tackle one of the most persistent myths inside BigLaw: that partnership guarantees freedom. After years of billing, grinding through deal cycles, and fighting for promotion, most lawyers expect partnership to mean finally having more control over clients, staffing, and schedules. But as I explain, the modern BigLaw firm operates much more like a global corporation than the old-school partnership many lawyers imagined as they were working their way towards becoming a partner in their firm. Centralized management, committees, client teams, centralized staffing, and internal politics shape a partner's actual authority far more than most attorneys realize. I walk through how partners can actually feel a loss of autonomy in areas they assumed they would gain more control over, why this happens, and, most importantly, the steps smart partners take to regain meaningful agency inside a the structure of their firms. At a Glance: 00:00 Introduction and the myth that partners "finally get to do what they want" 01:20 How autonomy erodes through committees, billing rules, discounts, and restrictions on expenses 02:15 Why client teams and global relationship partners can limit control, even over clients you originate 02:39 The gap between what lawyers imagine partnership to be and the corporate reality of BigLaw 03:00 How institutionalization has changed BigLaw 03:30 Why centralized systems protect firms but often reduce individual partner freedom 04:09 How client management may be reassigned to multi-partner teams 04:41 The politics of potentially being a "co-relationship partner" and thus losing losing influence and authority over key client relationships 05:04 Centralized staffing and resource managers replacing partner-led staffing 05:28 Why partners feel responsible but not in charge 05:53 Structural dependency: why BigLaw's infrastructure limits independence 06:21 How platform reliance prevents partners from "going independent" 06:42 Deferred comp, origination credit rules, and how compensation systems quietly place limits on partners 07:16 The psychological dependency created by discretionary compensation factors 07:47 The emotional side of autonomy: validation, identity, and exhaustion 08:36 The paradox: greater authority but less agency 08:59 What smart partners do to regain leverage 09:22 Building allies across finance, HR, IT, and marketing 09:48 Owning the client relationship, not just the work 10:13 Developing portable capital so you're staying by choice, not constraint 10:42 Building strong internal teams to regain practical autonomy 11:12 Why complete independence is tough to achieve and what autonomy actually looks like in 2025 11:38 Understanding what you control vs. where you only have access 12:07 Reframing autonomy and focusing on leverage that matters 12:47 Closing reflection and how to use this understanding to build the practice you want Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?

Meet Jordan Darling, a serial entrepreneur whose journey spans from building the first electric stand-up jet ski to disrupting the $200B building materials industry with his new company, Supersede. In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, Jordan shares how he turned his early passion for engineering into a successful startup that was acquired by Nikola, what he learned during hyper-growth, and why he's now on a mission to reinvent plywood using recycled plastic waste. Jordan breaks down how Supersede's Marine Board is becoming a high-performance, waterproof, fully recyclable alternative to plywood and OSB—solving massive problems like deforestation, supply chain failures, and America's plastic recycling crisis.

Long-term relationships aren't meant to choose between passion and partnership. They're meant to hold both.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why long-term love often drifts into “roommate mode”How stability without passion quietly erodes intimacyHow erotic polarity reignites desire Why passion fades (it's not age or compatibility) and how to rebuild it through play, presence, and nervous-system safetyFor women: How pleasure, radiance, and aliveness return when you stop over-functioning and start feeling againFor men: Why presence and not performance is the most powerful sexual energy you can bring to your relationship.What are the simple, daily practices to restore both passion and partnership even in the busiest seasons of life Passion doesn't die with time... it dies when we stop feeding the fire.Partnership doesn't have to feel boring...it becomes magnetic when both partners choose to stay awake in love.

We're keeping this retreat small - just 5 couples - so you get the intimacy and support you deserve. Rooms (GeoDomes or cottages) are chosen first-come, first-served.
What if the test gatekeeping college admissions was designed to celebrate—not undermine—your classical education? Discover how one alternative is changing the game for homeschoolers and classical students across America. In this milestone episode, Robert Bortins sits down with Soren Schwab (VP of Partnerships) and Noah Tyler (CFO) from the Classical Learning Test to celebrate 10 years of offering an alternative to the College Board's monopoly. The conversation opens with a stunning revelation: after hiring David Coleman—the chief architect of Common Core—in 2015, the College Board transformed the SAT so dramatically that its longest reading passage is now between 25-125 words. That's literally the length of a tweet. This is what "college readiness" has become. The CLT offers something radically different: Instead of politically biased content and tweet-length passages, students engage with C.S. Lewis, Aristotle, Dickens, and Abraham Lincoln. Parents report their children actually asking to read more after encountering authors on the test—something that would never happen with the SAT or ACT. And because homeschoolers can take it from home through video proctoring, test anxiety is significantly reduced. What You'll Learn: How homeschoolers went from "a little weird" to the most sought-after students on college campuses The expansion story: from garage startup to 320+ accepting universities and recognition in 15 states Legislative victories breaking the College Board's monopoly in Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and beyond The exciting announcement about "Enduring Course Exams"—CLT's alternative to AP, starting with humanities subjects where the College Board's ideological capture is most egregious Resources: https://www.cltexam.com/ This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Classical Conversations Alumni Network Classical Conversations launched its Alumni Network in May 2025, creating the first comprehensive platform for CC graduates and parents to stay connected beyond Challenge IV.

In this tandem episode, I'm unpacking a question posed by the viral Vogue article: "Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?" We'll talk about the cultural shift that's made women feel like being in a healthy relationship somehow makes you weaker, less independent, or less "girlboss." I share how I've seen internet feminism swing too far into performative man-hating, why that still feels like centering men, and how to reclaim power, partnership, and sovereignty at the same time. I also open up about what it's looked like in my own life — from losing myself in unhealthy relationships, to re-rootingwho I am, and now finding myself in a relationship that's healthy, supportive, and expansive. This is a conversation about nuance, leadership, and emotional maturity, and about learning to build a life that's self-led and open to love if you want to pursue partnership. You'll hear: Why "decentering men" still secretly centers them How social media's "soft hate" toward partnership keeps women disconnected The difference between self-abandonment and healthy interdependence What true feminine sovereignty looks like inside a relationship How to build your identity so partnership is additive, not definitive For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you an entrepreneur looking to grow and thrive in the legal space? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Matt Anderson, an attorney and real estate investor, about his unconventional journey blending law, entrepreneurship, and property investing. Matt shares lessons from multi-level marketing and business ownership and emphasizes the importance of hiring for culture fit.For lawyers who are new to the entrepreneurial space, it is possible to build a firm that runs on minimal daily involvement. In order to do this, you need to let go of a lot of the day to day work of practicing law as well as partner and hire individuals who can help you achieve that. Partner with another lawyer who has the same vision as you. After that, look at hiring good lawyers who will do all the necessary work that will bring you success. That way, you can spend your day doing what you want to do.Matt provides some insights on hiring staff based on culture and character, rather than experience. One way to do this is utilizing personality tests, inner metrics and multiple interviews to find the right fit. For Matt, anyone can learn a skill or aspects of a job. But, not everyone has the character or personality to work for a certain firm. As an owner, you need to determine what kind of firm you want to run and hire people based on what matters to you most.Listen in to learn more!2:01 Creative Side Hustles in Law School4:13 Building a Business, Not Just Practicing Law9:44 Hiring and Personality Fit16:32 Buying Law Firm Real Estate 23:23 Creative Financing and Seller Deals 25:12 Renting vs. Owning Your Home29:24 AI as a Law Firm Leveler32:13 Preventing Lifestyle Creep in Law Firms34:06 Impact of AI and the Future of Office Space43:36 Who Runs the Firm?47:20 Biggest Surprises in Partnership 49:40 Implementing AI in the Firm53:03 The Role of Hard Work in Success 58:03 Importance of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)Connect with Matt:Website LinkedIn Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

202 Want to make sure you aren't settling for unfair treatment, letting your partner's hurtful behavior fly, passively just “taking” your partners rudeness, or being a doormat? Want to stand up for yourself and proactively make sure you get the BEST treatment from your spouse, not just the scraps? Ever wondered if what I share on this podcast lets your spouse get away with too much? This episode is for YOU!!!You'll learn how, for the best marriage possible with your spouse, you need to develop both a soft belly, and a strong back. In other words, you need an emotional skillset that allows for true open-heartedness (instead of reactivity and defensiveness) AND you need to take specific strategic "strong" actions that prevent any poor treatment and GET the loving treatment you deserve in your marriage. I generally teach more about the soft belly piece, because you can't do the strong back piece well without it–and this part does NOT get enough attention in the relationship advice/self-help world… BUT the strong back pieces (i.e. specific actions and strategies) are 100% essential, too, to have a great marriage.So listen in today to hear what those “strong back” strategies are, and how you can learn more about implementing them, and what you must also be able to do in order for them to create a truly loving connected marriage (instead of a roommate or business-partner type relationship of cold functionality). The magic lies in the combination of both a strong back and a soft belly, not one by itself. Come hear exactly what I mean.SHOW NOTESJoin Hannah for private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage way more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

From Ann Arbor to the global design stage, Leon Speakers has carved out a unique identity—not as a technology company, but as a design company that happens to make exceptional audio and concealment solutions. Caitlin shares how Leon engages the architecture and design community, cultivates relevance in a shifting industry, and builds partnerships that challenge conventions of form, function, and beauty.
