February 23, 2026The Cash Flow Decisions That Quietly Break Growing Marketing Agencies
Scaling your agency should increase freedom, not financial pressure.

In this episode, I uncover why marketing agencies between $1M and $10M experience shrinking margins and tighter cash flow as they grow, and the three decisions that quietly create that strain.

You will learn how to align hiring, delivery timelines, and fixed costs with real margin and cash timing so growth stops working against you.

If you are ready to stop funding growth out of stress and start leading with financial clarity, join us inside the Say Yes To Profits Accelerator and scale with control.

February 16, 2026The Role Of A CFO
If your marketing agency or consulting firm is generating 7-figures plus and cash still feels tight, this episode will challenge how you think about growth.

In this episode, I explain why revenue is no longer your safety net at the one to ten million dollar level, how growth changes the way cash behaves, and why strong sales can still create financial pressure.

I break down how financial visibility transforms decision-making by proactively modeling cash flow, protecting margin, and replacing guesswork with intentional financial leadership.

If you are ready to stop reacting to cash pressure and start leading with clarity, control, and predictable profits, watch this episode, then join me at the SYTP Accelerator to learn how to scale like a true financial executive.
