In this special episode of the "Own Your Choices, Own Your Life" podcast, we celebrate a monumental milestone: episode 900! This is a special episode where Marsha is being interviewed by Sue Ruhe, her podcast manager, ninja extraordinaire and close friend. Marsha shares her thoughts on the significance of reaching 900 episodes, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and the unique space the podcast has provided her to navigate both business and personal challenges. We discuss the power of vulnerability in her solo episodes, where she imparts valuable lessons from her own experiences, even when she doesn't share every detail of her life. We also touch on the theme of reinvention, pivots, and permission, exploring the beliefs Marsha had to let go of to become the person she is today. She emphasizes the importance of speaking life into what we want, rather than focusing on what we don't want, and provides practical advice for listeners seeking to shift their mindset. Marsha gives a sneak peek into her upcoming solo book, which aims to provide a framework for others to shift their mindset and overcome obstacles.

Send us a textHave you ever faced a moment when everything you were working toward seemed to hit a wall? That intersection of disappointment and decision is exactly what we're diving into today as we explore the powerful concepts of pivoting and rebounding.Life rarely follows a straight line. Dreams get derailed, plans fall apart, and sometimes what seemed like the perfect path suddenly becomes impassable. But what if these moments aren't failures but invitations to something better? Drawing from our own journey through cancer, ministry transitions, and business pivots, we share how to discern when it's time to change direction versus when to push through resistance.The principle is simple yet profound: evaluate fruitfulness. Has what you've been doing produced the results you hoped for? If not, perhaps it's time for a strategic pivot. This doesn't mean abandoning your vision—it means finding a better route to get there. As we discuss in this episode, sometimes what appears to be a roadblock is actually divine redirection toward something greater than you initially imagined.Equally important is the art of rebounding after failure. Your past is just a chapter, not your whole story. Many of the most successful people attribute their greatest achievements to lessons learned through their biggest disappointments. What if your current setback is actually setting you up for your greatest comeback?The enemy of both pivoting and rebounding is a victim mentality. When we see ourselves as victims of circumstances rather than overcomers through Christ, we surrender our power to write the next chapter. Developing what we playfully call a "Scrappy" mentality—that determined spirit that refuses to stay down—positions you for victory regardless of what you're facing.Whether you're considering a change in your career, ministry, relationships, or personal development, this conversation will equip you with practical wisdom to navigate life's inevitable transitions with courage and faith.

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 A surprise $10K tax bill nearly knocked Pete Kleinjan off course—but he learned that trusting experts, keeping perspective, and staying outcome-focused is what turns agency chaos into long-term growth. If you're facing curveballs, this episode is your mindset reset. What You'll Learn Why SEO isn't what you sell, it's what it gets your clients. The tax mistake that cost $10K (and what Pete did right). How to lead through chaos with perspective, not panic. Why timeless principles beat trendy tactics every time. How realness (not AI avatars) builds lasting trust. Key Takeaways Clients buy outcomes, not SEO jargon: Sell the lakehouse dream, not the traffic report. Tax mistakes can kill momentum. Hire experts early: A $10K bill could've derailed everything, but Pete owned it and leveled up his support team. Stay resilient when the storm hits: Business will test you. What keeps you going is clarity, not hustle. Tools change, principles don't: Focus on client results, clear communication, and solving problems—not shiny new platforms. Authenticity wins: Forget perfect video. Scrappy, honest content builds trust that converts. Sell what they need, not what you want to deliver: Pete got a client for life by solving a $0 “do not index” issue. That's value. What's the most unexpected challenge you've faced as an agency owner? How did you handle it when things went sideways? Agency life is full of curveballs, and the only way to keep your business alive is by maintaining perspective and resilience when the unexpected hits. Today's featured guest once thought he would lose all the progress he'd made with his agency when the state hit him with a surprise $10K sales tax bill he didn't even know existed. But now, he looks back and laughs, recognizing that getting through it came down to trusting the right professionals and staying the course. He firmly believes that keeping your business afloat for the long haul means remembering why clients hire you in the first place — and that focusing on the outcomes that matter is what builds trust and closes deals. Pete Kleinjan is the founder and owner of Tiger29, an SEO agency that helps local small businesses achieve their sales goals. His agency isn't a sprawling team of 50; it's a small, sharp crew focused on what small business clients actually care about: more phone calls, more leads, more sales. In this episode, we'll discuss: The real reason clients want SEO. A lesson on team + preparedness. Perspective & resilience when things go sideways. Why you should focus on what won't change. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too. That's why successful agencies use Wix Studio — built to adapt the way your agency does: AI-powered site mapping, responsive design, flexible workflows, and scalable CMS tools so you spend less on plugins and more on growth. Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. The Real Reason Clients Want SEO (And Why We Overcomplicate It) Pete's first job right out of college was doing credit card collection. It was awful but it trained him in being on the phone multiple hours a day having difficult conversations, which led to his next job selling wheelchair-accessible vans. As a salesperson, he quickly realized the key to more sales wasn't grinding harder—it was getting more qualified leads. After he communicated his drive to help bring in more leads, the company's developer threw him a Wikipedia link to SEO, and Pete dove in, learned FTP, and started tweaking pages himself. That hands-on hunger turned into a full-fledged agency by 2009. It's a story he still tells prospects because he knows clients don't want SEO; they want what SEO brings. They want sales, the Cadillac, the lakehouse dream—not rankings or traffic screenshots, and leading with that terminology could just push them away. Pete urges agency owners to remember this because it speaks to what small business owners care about: “How do I get more of the customers I want?” When you lead with jargon, you lose your prospect. Lead with the transformation. The Unexpected $10K Sales Tax Bill (And a Lesson on Team + Preparedness) A couple of years into his agency, Pete received a letter from the state labeled “sales tax review” (not audit, but let's be real—it was an audit). Turns out, in South Dakota, consulting services are taxable, and the state decided local SEO link-building and citation placement fell under “taxable consulting.” This little “surprise” ended with Pete writing a $10,000 check to the state. For a moment, Pete considered fighting it and asked his attorney brother for advice. However, his brother put it in perspective for him: pay the $10K or pay a lawyer to sue and likely have the state fight you all the way to the Supreme Court. It wasn't fun, but it was the best decision for his peace of mind. For him, the big takeaway was: Hire a good bookkeeper and CPA who know your local tax nuances. You don't want to be the expert in tax law, just like your clients shouldn't have to be experts in SEO. Pete chose not to pass that bill back to his clients because it was his mistake, and it would be unfair. But it also taught him to be proactive in areas outside his zone of genius by building a team of experts who handle the boring (but crucial) details. Perspective and Resilience When Things Go Sideways Pete's tax story caused sleepless nights at the time, but looking back, he laughs about it. Because here's the hard truth about agency ownership: Money challenges, curveballs, and “surprise” bills are going to happen. Your ability to weather these storms without spiraling is what separates owners who build sustainable agencies from those who burn out. When you've been in the game long enough, you realize it's never all rainbows, and there's always something around the corner that could trip you up. But when you remember why you're in business—to build a life you love, not just a bigger agency—it becomes easier to shake off setbacks and focus on what matters: your health, your team, your freedom, and your ability to keep moving forward. Focus on What Won't Change In a recent interview, Jeff Bezos was asked about how he thought things would change in five years. His answer was that instead of obsessing over what will change, he prefers focusing on what won't change. No matter what, clients will always want results. They'll always want things on time. They'll always want problems solved by real humans who care. Whether you're using AI, TikTok or any other platform, those core truths will remain. We can often get distracted by tools and trends (AI, new social platforms, “the next algorithm hack”). But the tools in your box will change; your job—to deliver transformation to clients—will not. Build your business around timeless principles like clear communication, trust, and delivering results, and you'll outlast any trend. AI, Avatars, and Authenticity With the coming wave of AI avatars, deepfakes, and synthetic influencers, how should agency owners use these tools while maintaining authenticity? Yes, you could deploy an AI influencer for your agency, especially if you're camera-shy. But as Pete shared, their social media commandment #1 is “it has to be real.” Their scrappy videos may not be as polished as some big agencies, but they convert because they're authentic, quirky, and genuinely helpful. In a future where clients may question if what they see online is real, your authenticity will become your moat. Using AI should amplify your agency's personality, not replace it, so let your realness be your competitive advantage. Selling What Clients Need, Not What You Want to Sell A small business owner struggling for two years with a site that wouldn't show up on Google. Why? A simple “do not index” box was checked in WordPress. Everyone else was trying to pitch her a free “strategy call” (AKA sales call), but Pete charged for an SEO Power Hour, solved her problem immediately, and won her trust. The takeaway for Pete was that it's good he didn't default to “selling a new website” when a client came for SEO. Don't push a service because it's your highest margin offer. Sell what they actually need. When you do, you become their trusted advisor, not another expense they're trying to cut. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Send us a textAuthor-photographer Josh Jackson grew up camping the Midwest's state-parks but it wasn't until he had moved to California, and after the birth of his third child, in 2015—when every California campground was booked solid—that a friend uttered the words “BLM land.” One spur-of-the-moment trip to the Trona Pinnacles cracked open a new universe: 15 million acres of under-sung, “left-over” public land in California alone. Over the next decade Jackson made pandemic-era pilgrimages to deserts, sagebrush plateaus, and the Lost Coast's King Range, keeping a field journal, hauling a camera, and gradually uncovering two intertwined stories:A Scrappy, Essential Landscape – Bureau of Land Management parcels host wild‐and‐scenic rivers, endangered species, Indigenous cultural sites, and 60+ first-come camps where solitude still reigns.A Perpetual Target – From the Sagebrush Rebellion to Senator Mike Lee's 2025 amendments that would auction up to 1.2 million acres, BLM lands survive only by “enduring” repeated sell-off and extraction threats.The Enduring Wild braids those threads—personal awakening, ecological portraits, Indigenous history, and political urgency—into 100 photographs and 45 k words aimed at turning anonymity into affection. Jackson's thesis echoes Baba Dioum: “In the end, we will conserve only what we love.” His book is an invitation to know, love, and therefore defend America's most overlooked public commons.Come down to the Henry Miller Library - browse and buy your copy ofThe Enduring Wild. Wallace Stegner;These are some of the things wilderness can do for us. That is the reason we need to put into effect, for its preservation, some other principle that the principles of exploitation or "usefulness" or even recreation. We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.https://psych.utah.edu/_resources/documents/psych4130/Stenger_W.pdfSupport the show_________________________________________________This podcast is a production of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with support from The Arts Council for Monterey County!

Lindsey Carter is the Founder and CEO of SET Active, a cult-favorite activewear brand known for its elevated athleisure, monochrome sets, and community-driven approach.Lindsey was just about to finish her degree in elementary education when she realized—she didn't actually want to be a teacher. She shifted her path completely, dove into social media, hustled her way into NBC Universal, and went on to build her own agency from the ground up. While helping other brands build online communities, she had a lightbulb moment to build her own brand. In 2018, Lindsey started SET Active from her apartment, with no outside funding and $20,000 in credit card debt. She was determined to create a brand for the “everyday girl” who wanted activewear that looked as good as it felt. Fast forward to today, SET is a multi-million-dollar business with a cult following, and Lindsey still owns 100% of it. She's become known not only for her signature monochrome sets, but for her honest take on entrepreneurship and her mission to uplift other women founders.In this week's episode, Lindsey shares her unexpected journey from wanting to be a kindergarten teacher to building a high growth activewear brand. With zero experience in fashion or manufacturing, she opens up about how she scrappily self-funded SET, found her first production partner, and the make-or-break lessons that came with it. We talk about the early wins that kept her going, how she used social media to build real community, and what it really took to scale the business. Lindsey also gets candid about navigating mental health as a founder, how motherhood changed her leadership style, and why staying authentic—even when it's hard—is what's kept her grounded through it all, and so much more.
