"In an undifferentiated category, many agencies look and sound the same, which leads to a price-focused negotiation - a race to the bottom where procurement looks at who can do the work the cheapest."
Stuart Dunk has a message for all agency and business owners who are fighting for a seat at a very crowded table.
You'll have to watch (or listen to) the interview to hear it, plus:
- What most agencies are doing wrong

"Be as crazy as possible. Be as open and broad-minded as you are, and then have people around you to pull you back down to the thing that's most workable."
Terence is a brutal podcast host (in the best way) and got me sweating with his tough questions.
So I got my own back! Well, kind of. Thanks Terence, for joining me for this episode and sharing your knowledge.
We spoke about:
-...
"Money is the energy of appreciation."
I jotted down that quote as soon as Julie Foucht spoke the words, and there are so many more nuggets of wisdom you just have to hear.
I got to chat with Julie about a topic not many people (especially CEOs) talk about: money. But it went way deeper than dollar signs. Julie went on to share how she believes intuition, feminine power, and money are connected.
"For me, selling my business felt like going through a breakup."
Business owners, do yourself a favor and listen to my latest podcast episode with Kathryn Strachan (Fractional CMO, author, award-winner...the list goes on; she's a powerhouse).
You'll find out:

"Tech serves humans, not the other way around."
Words from the brilliant Nadio Granata, although I'd add: "For the time being!"
This episode has got to be the most re-scheduled podcast ever, thanks to myself and Nadio's busy schedules. But the wait was worth it - what a conversation. I hope you learn as much as I did listening to Nadio share his insights.
In this episode, we...
"If you're not out there getting clients before you have a product, you're already dead."
This might sound a bit dramatic, but it's true.
With that being said, I'd like to welcome my latest podcast guest. I had the pleasure of speaking with David Brown, founder of Futurehand Media, who shared his expertise on the transformative role of AI in marketing and business.
