Welcome back to The Agency Hour, where we help web design and digital agency owners create abundance for themselves, their teams, and their communities.

Through compelling case studies of agency owners like Simon Kelly who tripled his revenue to $100K/month, Troy demonstrates how implementing a paid strategy model transforms not just income, but client relationships and team satisfaction.
