S1|Ep64 Elite Entrepreneurship & AI: Scaling to 8 Figures Without Funding or a Sales Team
Forest Bronzan from the United States is here to share a powerful story of elite entrepreneurship in the AI era.
Forest reveals how he founded and scaled Email Aptitude—named the #1 fastest-growing CRM/Loyalty agency in the U.S. by Inc. 5000 and #2 Best Place to Work in California by Ad Age. He grew it from zero to 100 employees and 8-figure revenue, fast, without funding or a sales team.
After a strategic merger, he stepped into an even bigger game, helping grow the combined company to over 1,000 full-time employees—and exited once again.
Forest is now the Co-Founder & CEO of Jetset, and a board member at Digital Detox®, after over 15 years in e-commerce, building award-winning agencies and driving revenue growth for brands like Bombas, MVMT, Walmart, and more.
🔥 Key Topics Covered:
- Scaling without a sales team: what most founders miss
- System design & clarity vs. hustle culture
- Scaling from 300 to 1,000+ employees in 18 months
- How AI would change everything if he built again today
- Founders’ blind spots & high-leverage shortcuts in the AI era
- Real moments of truth in hypergrowth
- Advice for high-performing founders & agency leaders
This is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, AI-curious leaders, and agency builders looking to create extraordinary results with a lean, bold, and intelligent approach to scale.
