In the 52nd episode of Simply Business, John Jennings sits down with Bill Reynolds, President of Element 502, to explore the raw and real journey of turning around a struggling marketing agency.
Bill opens up about how he went from a consultant to business owner overnight—after a leap of faith (and prayer) with his wife. He shares what happened when he lost his biggest client five days into ownership, how he led his team through some very challenging times, and why integrity, honesty, and relationship-first values have helped Element 502 thrive.
With a refreshingly transparent look at entrepreneurship, Bill explains what “Passengers, Not Hostages” really means, why marketing shouldn’t be the first budget cut, and how to navigate today's AI-influenced business world.
This episode is a masterclass in resilience, servant leadership, and staying true to your values in business.
👉 Tune in to learn:
- What makes a marketing agency really stand out
- How to lead a team through uncertainty
- The power of saying “no” to bad business
- Why entrepreneurs need accountability—even if they don’t like it
