Every entrepreneur wants their marketing to work harder — but most are quietly leaking money without realizing it. Draye has seen it all: seven-figure ad budgets with zero return, teams chasing vanity metrics, and agencies over-promising results they can't deliver. He breaks down how to stop the waste, simplify your strategy, and install systems that actually drive profit. Whether you're scaling a service firm or building your next big exit, this conversation will show you exactly where to focus for real, measurable growth.

• Why most agencies fail to deliver sustainable growth
• How a $15K audit saved a multi-million-dollar business
• The smarter way to scale without hiring more people
• How to build a company that grows — and sells — without you
