In this episode, I chat with branding expert, TEDx speaker, and author Pia Silva about how she built a highly profitable business with no employees—just her and her husband. Pia is the founder of NO BS Agency Mastery, where she teaches small-but-mighty agencies how to earn 30k+ months with streamlined systems, premium pricing, and productized services. If you're tired of the hiring hamster wheel and want to grow by doing less (and charging more), this conversation is packed with insights and inspiration to rethink your model. Today you will hear:How Pia turned a $3K “VIP day” into a $40K brand intensive—and scaled to $500K in 12 months without a teamThe structure behind her signature offer and how she sets client expectations for smooth deliveryWhy simplifying your offer is the key to scaling profitably without burnoutThe mindset shifts that helped her raise her prices while delivering even more valuePia's strategy for replacing free discovery calls with a paid lead product (and why it's a game-changer) CONNECT WITH PIA:Website: https://www.nobsagencies.com/Instagram: @pialovesyourbizFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pialovesyourbiz/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/piapiasilvaFREE audiobook: Badass Your Brand

They default to safe, scripted content that feels awkward and inauthentic.But what if the future of marketing wasn't about personal branding at all…What if it was about empowering your entire team?In today's episode, I'm joined by Katie Street, founder and MD of Street Agency and host of the chart-topping podcast Marketing in the Madness.Katie works with some of the world's top marketing tech companies and believes we're at a turning point—where brands that don't show up with real, human content will get left behind. In an AI-driven world, authenticity and trust are your unfair advantage. And if you're not visible, someone louder (and less qualified) will be.Together we unpack:How to move beyond founder-led content to team-powered marketingWhy authentic, human content beats polished scripts every timeShifting from a scarcity mindset to one of empowerment when leading your teamThe rising importance of in-person events in an AI-driven world
