January 15, 2020 #1879 How to get into an agency mindset (and learn to love the chaos)
Many people I talk to hate running agencies. They can’t scale them up and they can’t wait to create software that will allow them to stop the agency model.
Well today’s guest found a way to make the agency model work long term. I want to find out how he did it. Johnathan Dane is the founder of KlientBoost, a creative pay-per-click and landing page/conversion rate optimization agency.

January 06, 2020 #1875 Running a content creation agency (without going nuts)
Today’s guest is Nat Eliason, the founder of Growth Machine. Growth Machine offers a done-for-you content and SEO solution, which means that he’s getting paid by customers to create content for them
Content is something people are very personal about. So Nat has to create something that’s in their voice, that represents their brand, etc. On top of that, he’s got to do SEO for them, which means he needs to drive traffic and prove that his content is converting into sales.
What I’m fascinated by is how he’s making it into something that doesn’t drive him nuts and still excites him when he has other options.

Today’s guest is a guy who discovered a problem he thought he could solve. Nearly 10 years ago, someone sent him a document but because of his location, he wasn’t able to sign it.
So he said, “There might be a bigger solution here.”

December 27, 2019 #1872 How to create not one but two software hits
There aren’t a lot of breakout hits out there–software that really takes off.
Well, today’s guest says that he’s the co-founder of a company that created two of them. The first was Meerkat, a software that allowed people to broadcast on Twitter and it freaking exploded.
But then there was an issue which forced him to either pivot or start from scratch. Then he created something called Houseparty. And even though it took off also, it’s not setting the world on fire.
I want to know what happened, how he came up with these two brilliant ideas, how the ideas took off, and what happened internally.
Uri Haramati is the founder of Life on Air, creators of Houseparty and Meerkat.
