Welcome to the Founder’s Corner podcast! In this show I sit down and interview marketing firm and agency leaders from all over the world. Why? Because when you know better, you’ll hopefully do better. And we want to be there to support you. The insights that are shared here will help you level up and build the business of your dreams.

In this episode, I interviewed Alix Condit, the Founder of Cucamonda Media.

At the time of this recording, Alix had been running Cucamonda Media for around three years. We dived into some of the things that she learned early on and what she had to overcome in the initial stages of running her agency. Then we dove into a discussion about community building and some of the best (and worst) things you can do when building a community online. 

Tune in to discover valuable insights from my interview with Alix!

ABOUT YOUR HOST:

If you’re new to this channel, my name is Eli Clark. I’m the co-founder and CEO of onebridgeaccounting.com. We do bookkeeping and accounting for marketing firms.

I graduated from college Summa Cum Laude and took a job at a creative studio where I worked on VFX, animation, and publishing projects for film and games. Shortly after I started my own web design studio and saw the need for better financial services within the marketing industry. Thus OneBridge Accounting was born. Like many companies we started on a shoestring budget and hobbled along for a year before bringing on a co-founder and getting serious about our impact.

Today we provide bookkeeping and accounting services to marketing firms of all shapes and sizes, all over the world. We’ve designed our solutions with both the solopreneur and larger agencies in mind, allowing our services to scale with you. 

Here’s how I can help you:
