Burnout. It’s something that too many agency owners face but rarely talk about. In this episode, I sit down with Colby Wegter, founder of Autonomy Agency, to explore the deep challenges of running an agency and the toll it can take on both mental and physical health. Colby shares his candid journey of burnout—not once, but twice in a single year—and how it forced him to reevaluate how he was running his business.

We discuss the common limiting belief that so many agency owners hold: that without them, their business would collapse. Colby breaks down why this mindset is holding you back and how building systems is the key to escaping this cycle. He also shares powerful insights on how you can retain clients for years, increase their lifetime value, and ultimately scale your business with less stress.

If you're an agency owner who feels overworked, stuck, or simply burnt out, this episode is a must-listen. Colby’s approach is not just about fixing the immediate pain points, but about setting you up for long-term success.
