  • My go-to resource!

    I've been following Jason and his work for nearly a decade. I ran a couple of agencies with a business partner years ago before shifting into coaching, and this podcast has been my go-to resource the whole way through. What keeps me coming back is that it's always relevant. Jason stays on top of what's actually happening in the industry right now. Everything is practical and applicable too. I highly recommend it for any agency owner looking to grow.

Why Managing to Strengths Beats Managing to Tasks with Laura Lee Jones | Ep #927
Q: How have you evolved as a leader over the years and what changes have you made in the organization?

Q: Tell us who you are and what you do.
Laura Lee Jones describes Lion Share Marketing as a healthcare-focused data-driven agency that builds large databases and uses software on top of them to run front-end analytics and ROI studies for patients and prospects, prioritizing letting data drive decisions.
Is Your Best Skill Actually Squashing Your Agency's Growth? with Brett Singer | Ep #923
Q: What advice would you give to agency owners trying to scale?
Hire for culture fit, empower your team, and create systems so people can manage themselves. Focus on vision, coach the team, and slowly replace founder-only roles with capable leaders to avoid bottlenecks and keep the company moving forward.
Is Your Best Skill Actually Squashing Your Agency's Growth? with Brett Singer | Ep #923
Q: How did you transition from a founder-led shop to a leadership-focused agency?
We recognized that doing all the work was the bottleneck. We started by hiring to handle non-founder tasks, shifted roles—sales vs. production—and built a culture where the team can operate self-sufficiently. This allowed us to focus on vision, culture, and growth.
