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 Most agencies aren't fragile because of bad systems but because everything runs through the founder. One unexpected hit and the whole thing wobbles. Today's featured guest shares the real-world test no agency owner ever wants: a hemorrhagic stroke that took him out overnight. What happened next is the part every agency owner needs to hear. Because his business didn't collapse. It kept moving, clients stayed, deals closed, and trust carried the weight. If your agency can't function without you, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar. Brian Franks is the founder of Where Eagles Dare, a premium branding and storytelling agency working with major retail brands like American Eagle and Five Below. He spent 20+ years rising to VP of Creative at American Eagle before launching his agency over a decade ago. In this episode, we'll discuss: Getting comfortable with a hard question How Brian built a resilient agency Why your network is the real asset 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.

If you disappeared for 30 days (hospital, burnout, family emergency), would your agency come back stronger, the same… or on fire? Most agency owners don't like that question. Because deep down, they already know the answer. This is a question every agency owner should ask, especially if you're doing $1M–$10M, stuck in fulfillment, carrying everything in your head, and telling yourself, "I'll fix the systems later." Brian didn't plan to test his agency this way. In February 2024, he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and ended up in the ICU for a brain drain. It took weeks of recovery. No warning. And his agency didn't collapse. Here's why that matters. Brian Didn't Build a "Big" Agency. He Built a Resilient One. Brian spent 20 years at American Eagle, rising from graphic designer to VP of Creative. He worked with massive agencies and saw the billings. He also saw the waste and understood what actually mattered. So when he launched Where Eagles Dare, he didn't chase headcount or ego. He sought to build: A small, senior team A premium positioning Deep relationships, not vendor contracts An agency designed around his strengths That's the part most founders miss. They scale complexity instead of clarity. The Lie Agency Owners Believe A lot of agency owners think freedom comes after scale. More clients → more people → more systems → someday freedom. In reality, that path usually leads to: Team chaos Thin margins Constant Slack pings And a founder who can't unplug without guilt Brian flipped that by staying scrappy, limiting active clients, staying close to the work that mattered, and delegating the rest to people he trusted for years. So when life punched him in the face, the agency stepped up. Your Network Is the Real Asset When Brian went down, his network took over. A former American Eagle CMO stepped in to help lead. His wife helped close a major Five Below deal. Longstanding client relationships stayed solid There was no panic, mass client churn, or revenue freefall. That doesn't happen by accident. That happens when you: Play the long game Treat relationships like equity Build trust before you need it Most agencies don't fail because of bad marketing. They fail because everything depends on the founder. The Question You Can't Ignore If you were gone for a month, would your agency be worse, the same, or better? If the answer scares you, good. Because it means you're still early enough to fix it. The Real Goal Isn't Scale. It's Control Brian's story isn't about hustle or heroics. It's about building an agency that: Pays you well Respects your health Doesn't collapse without you Still excites you creatively That's the real win. And if you're tired of being the bottleneck, you're stuck in fulfillment, referrals are your only growth plan, or you're not paying yourself what you should… Then it's time to rebuild. Not bigger, but smarter. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee — founder of The Savvy Groomer — and today's episode is perfectly timed for February. Because it's the month of love… and I want to talk about who you're actually in a relationship with in your business. Not your partner. Not your dog. Your clients. Because here's the thing no one tells groomers early enough: You can be booked solid. You can be making money. You can look “successful” from the outside. …and still quietly dread your day-to-day life. And most of the time, that doesn't come from grooming itself. It comes from the relationships you've built your business on. So today, we're talking about: Fling clients Ideal clients And soulmate clients And how falling in love with your clients doesn't mean being softer, nicer, or more accommodating. It means building a business that actually loves you back. Let's talk about fling clients. And before anyone feels called out, I want to be very clear: Most groomers did not choose fling clients on purpose. We were taught to accept them. Early in our careers, the message was: Say yes. Take what you can get. Be grateful for every client. And in the beginning, that makes sense. You're building. You're learning. You're trying to survive. But somewhere along the way, temporary clients became the foundation of permanent businesses. And that's where things start to hurt. Fling clients are the clients who: Book once and disappear Only show up when they're desperate Don't read your policies Don't remember your boundaries And don't feel invested in you They're not bad people. They're just not committed. Here are a few grooming-specific examples — and I want you to notice how your body reacts as I say them. The once-a-year doodle. They promise they'll be on a schedule… but you don't hear from them again until the dog is matted and they're panicking. The “can you squeeze me in?” client. Not because of an emergency — but because they waited too long and now it's suddenly your problem. The client who disappears the moment you enforce a boundary. You correct pickup time. You enforce a matting policy. You raise prices. And suddenly? Gone. These are fling clients. And here's the part most groomers don't realize until they're exhausted: Fling clients are expensive. Financially, they: Create gaps in your schedule Require re-education every visit Take more time than they're priced for Emotionally, they: Keep you on edge Create resentment Require constant mental energy Operationally, they: Create chaos Make staffing harder Make income unpredictable And the sneakiest part? You start reshaping your business around them. You loosen policies. You over-explain. You hesitate to raise prices. You make exceptions “just this once.” That's not love. That's survival mode. Fling clients are not the problem — expecting commitment from them is. Now let's talk about ideal clients. These are the clients most groomers think they want. They show up. They pay. They're polite. They mostly follow the rules. They're… fine. Ideal clients feel safe. They don't cause drama. They don't stress you out the way fling clients do. But here's the truth that doesn't get said enough: Ideal clients often represent a comfort ceiling. They keep your business running — but not necessarily growing. You still remind them. You still explain policies. You still manage expectations. Let's compare this for a moment. An ideal client: Asks questions about price Occasionally forgets policies Needs reminders Refers people similar to them A soulmate client: Accepts pricing without debate Respects systems Follows policies automatically Refers people who already trust you Ideal clients keep you busy. Soulmate clients make things easier. This is why so many grooming businesses plateau. They're not failing. They're not doing anything wrong. They've just built a business around “good enough.” And if you've ever thought: “I should be happier than I am with this…” That's usually why. Let's clear something up right now. Soulmate clients do not magically find you because you're nice, talented, or have good vibes. That idea keeps groomers waiting instead of building. Soulmate clients are created through systems. Clear messaging. Strong onboarding. Consistent policies. And follow-through. Soulmate clients don't require convincing. They trust your expertise. They understand how your business works. Every boundary you hold does two things: It repels a fling client… and signals safety to a soulmate client. People who value professionalism are attracted to structure. People who want exceptions are repelled by it. That's not a flaw. That's a filter. Soulmate clients: Respect your time Trust your recommendations Follow your systems Refer people just like them And here's the part I really want you to hear: You don't need more clients. You need better-aligned ones. When groomers shift toward soulmate clients, we see: Smaller schedules Higher income Better retention Less burnout More predictability Business stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling calm. And that's not luck. That's alignment. If you're listening and thinking, “Why does this feel so hard for me?” Here's the truth: No one taught us this. Most groomers were trained in: Safety. Technique. Breed patterns. Not client alignment. Not onboarding. Not de-alignment. So when things feel messy, we internalize it. We think: “I'm bad with people.” “I hate clients.” “This is just how grooming is.” No. You're not bad at clients. You're under-supported. Client alignment is a business skill, not a personality trait. And skills can be learned. Practiced. Refined. When you stop blaming yourself and start building systems, everything changes. If this episode hit close to home, that discomfort isn't failure. It's awareness. Most groomers didn't intentionally build businesses that drain them. It happened slowly. Quietly. One “yes” at a time. And once you see the difference between fling clients, ideal clients, and soulmate clients — you can't unsee it. Falling in love with your clients doesn't mean overgiving. It means alignment. Clarity. Respect. And that doesn't happen by accident. That's why I created the Business Workshop Library. Inside, you'll find on-demand workshops like: Identifying & Attracting Your Soulmate Clients Onboarding Clients & Dealing With Difficult Clients Once-A-Year Clients and whether they belong in your business at all ✨ It's $200 for the year ✨ Or $50 a month You can watch at your own pace, revisit when needed, and apply what you learn to your real business. And if you're looking for ongoing support instead of one-off fixes, that's exactly what the Savvy Groomer Circle is for. Inside the Circle, you get continued education, monthly Q&As, real-time conversations, and support as you actively implement boundaries, policies, and systems in your business — not just think about them. And for those of you who want deeper access and closer support, the Inner Circle gives you just that — including direct access to me so you're never figuring this out alone. You can learn more and join at savvygroomer.com/membership If you're ready to stop building your business around flings and start intentionally creating alignment, you'll find the Business Workshop Library at savvygroomer.com/gwg As always — stay savvy, stay greedy, and never apologize for wanting more.

The dichotomy between the so-called "fraud-casters" and legitimate podcasters is the focal point of our discourse today. Fraud-casters are individuals who embark on the endeavor of creating podcasts without possessing a genuine understanding or appreciation for the medium; they often fail to engage with existing podcasts and neglect the fundamental elements that constitute a true podcast, such as an RSS feed. In contrast, authentic podcasters invest time in not only producing content but also in immersing themselves in the intricate dynamics of audio storytelling and audience engagement. I draw from personal experiences and observations within the podcasting landscape to elucidate the significance of valuing the listening experience, which is paramount for anyone aspiring to host a podcast. Ultimately, this discussion serves as a clarion call for those entering the podcasting realm to cultivate a deeper respect for the craft, ensuring that their contributions are both meaningful and enriching to the listening community. A profound exploration of the distinctions between the terms 'fraud-caster' and 'podcaster' reveals critical insights into the integrity and authenticity of the podcasting medium. The dialogue elucidates how individuals who aspire to host podcasts, yet possess no genuine engagement with the medium, undermine its value. This discourse posits that true podcasters exhibit a deep respect for the auditory experience, investing time in both consuming and creating content that resonates with listeners. The episode further examines the concept of the fraud-caster, individuals who may produce visuals and claim to host podcasts without providing an authentic audio experience or an RSS feed, thereby diluting the essence of what a podcast ought to be. The discussion highlights the necessity of understanding the podcasting landscape, emphasizing that aspiring hosts must appreciate the nuances of the genre to contribute meaningfully to the community.Takeaways:The distinction between a 'fraud-caster' and a legitimate podcaster is crucial in understanding the podcasting landscape.A true podcaster engages deeply with the medium, having a genuine appreciation for the audio experience and its nuances.Individuals who aspire to host podcasts must first be avid listeners to grasp the format and structure effectively.The importance of an RSS feed cannot be overstated; without it, one cannot claim to be producing an authentic podcast.Visuals alone do not constitute a podcast; the essence lies in the audio experience that resonates with the audience.Engagement with listeners is paramount; podcasting should foster habits that encourage regular consumption and interaction.Links referenced in this episode:qcamplified.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:Joe BuddenEarn Your LeisureQC AmplifyAppleSpotify

“If you are questioning what I'm doing, then why not get it from the source?” When you've consistently done the work to be one of the best, it's not just the on court respect and praise that is earned, it's how your voice resonates beyond the game and no better example of this than Kevin Durant. In this powerful and candid conversation, NBA superstar Kevin Durant sits down with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor to open up like never before. From his early days in Prince George's County to becoming one of the most dynamic scorers in NBA history, KD reflects on his journey through every team he's played for — the Thunder, Warriors, Nets, and Suns — and what each chapter taught him about loyalty, leadership, and growth. He opens up about overcoming devastating injuries, finding balance off the court, and the evolution of his mindset through success, criticism, and reinvention. He doesn't shy away from the questions surrounding his choices, his direct demeanor on social media and describes how he sees his iconic career vs. how it's viewed by the world. Revealing the darkness he experienced from his injuries to rediscovering the light from his time away from the game, KD's love and appreciation for the camaraderie, the intense competition and the high demands of the sport. He shares how special Olympic moments have been, how winning a championship doesn't define his legacy and lets us in on his bond with players around the NBA, especially Anthony Edwards, who he sees a lot of himself in and compares their relationship to a similar one he shared with the late Kobe Bryant. Durant also talks deeply about family, sharing heartfelt stories about the impact of his mother, Wanda, and his relationship with his father, Wayne, and how thier love and lessons shaped the man he is today. The conversation turns to business and life beyond basketball — from his ventures in media and tech with Boardroom to his vision for empowering the next generation of athletes and creators. And of course, KD keeps it real about being a lifelong Washington Commanders fan — the highs, lows, and that unwavering DMV pride. It's vintage Durant: honest, thoughtful, competitive, and always evolving. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button, like and comment- we love hearing from you Pivot family!

We were reintroduced last week to Leopold Ruddock and were amazed at his talent and tenacity to become the fastest track athlete in his class and set records that still stand at the school of his homeland in Jamaica.
