  • Ep 148: Why Most Agencies Are Sitting on Millions in Hidden IP (And Don't Even Know It) | Stephan Bajaio of Vibe Logic
    Jul 13 2026

    Summary:

    Most agencies struggle with content unnecessarily.

    Every client meeting, sales call, strategy session, and internal discussion creates valuable intellectual property but most agencies let it disappear the moment the call ends. In this episode, I sit down with Stephan Bajaio, CEO of Vibe Logic, to explore why the agencies that win in the AI era won't be the ones producing more content, they'll be the ones extracting more value from the knowledge they already have


    Takeaways:

    • Why your agency is probably sitting on years of untapped intellectual property.

    • The simple workflow that can turn one recorded conversation into dozens of valuable content assets.

    • Why "memory" is becoming obsolete and what replaces it in AI-powered businesses.

    • The surprising reason most agencies are approaching thought leadership completely backwards.

    • How recorded meetings can become training systems for sales, account management, and operations.

    • What Web Presence Intelligence actually means and why it's bigger than SEO.

    • The mindset shift that helped Stephan move beyond chasing growth for growth's sake and instead focus on solving the right problem.

  • Ep 147: Turn Your Secret Sauce into Systems That Scale
    Jul 8 2026

    Summary

    In this solo episode, host Sean Lang breaks down why your agency’s “secret sauce” can’t live only in your head. If you want to grow, exit, or simply stop being the bottleneck, you need to transfer your expertise into systems, scorecards, and SOPs. Sean shares a step-by-step method for turning intuition into documented processes while still protecting creativity.


    Takeaways

    • Secret sauce in your head makes you valuable; secret sauce in systems makes the agency valuable.

    • Codification boosts speed, consistency, and quality.

    • Role scorecards tie expectations to measurable outcomes.

    • Onboarding and SOPs apply to both employees and contractors.

    • Creativity can coexist with standardization by defining “creative zones.”

    • Delegating ownership frees the founder from being the hero.

  • Ep 146: Why Most Agency Owners Stay Stuck at 15 Clients (And Never Build a Real Business) | with Matteo Denegri of Somcommerce
    Jul 6 2026

    Summary:

    Most agency owners don't hit a ceiling because they're bad marketers, they hit it because they never evolve as leaders.

    If you're stuck doing all the work yourself, terrified of hiring, or wondering how to build an agency that doesn't depend entirely on you, this episode is for you.

    In this conversation, I sat down with Matteo Denegri, founder of Somcommerce, to unpack his journey from earning $5/hour building Shopify stores to leading an agency managing more than $8 million in monthly ad spend for clients around the world.

    But what impressed me most wasn't the growth, it was how he thinks.

    Takeaways:

    • Why your first hire feels terrifying and why it's usually the best decision you'll make.

    • The hidden reason agencies stop growing around the 10–20 client mark.

    • How focusing on becoming 1% better every day compounds into massive business growth.

    • Why the best agency owners don't obsess over five year visions.

    • The mindset shift that transforms a freelancer into a true agency owner.

    • How referrals became Matteo's primary growth engine without relying on outbound sales.

    • Why your agency can never outgrow your personal leadership
