In this episode, we're keepin' it real with Ryan Jenkins from The Hype Society. This dude’s been in the agency game for 10 years, and he's not afraid to drop some truth bombs about the rollercoaster of scaling.

We're talking about:

• The Early Days: Ryan spills the tea on his first agency, Digital Eagles, and why he decided to do things differently with The Hype Society. Hint: it’s about moving past being a 'gun for hire' and creating real partnerships.
• Integrated vs. Specialised: We get into the weeds on why having one trusted partner handling all the marketing stuff is better than dealing with a million different specialists. It's a total brain ache otherwise, right?
• The Biggest Myth: Scaling ain't easy! Ryan lays it bare - there's a whole lotta mess under the surface you don't see on people's LinkedIn profiles. It’s not an overnight success, more like a 10-year grind.
• Gut Checks: We chat about those tough decisions you have to make on the fly, especially when the market's acting up. We're talking cost cuts and not gambling on your next big sale - gotta make decisions based on reality, not just hope.
• Systems are King (and Queen): Ryan’s been workin’ hard to systemise the back-end of The Hype Society and he gives us the lowdown on their all-in-one platform and how it keeps things humming.
• Time Tracking Drama (or not?): Turns out, time tracking isn’t the enemy when you've been doing it since day one. Ryan's team knows the drill - and it helps keep everything in scope.
• AI Power Up? Is Ryan using enough AI in his day to day? Probably not! He gives us some details and we discuss how not doing it is actually losing money.
• The Mental Game: Ryan gets honest about the struggles of business ownership and looking after yourself. It’s easy to get lost when you're the one at the top, but he's working on it, just like the rest of us.
