Dr. Jeremy Weisz here, Founder of InspiredInsider.com where I talk with inspirational entrepreneurs and leaders. And before I introduce today’s guest, Chris Clark of Digital Ignite Chris, I always like to mention past episodes people should check out you know, I’ve had some really interesting guests over the past over decade, you know, the Founder of RxBar is P90x, but what I love is the companies people have never heard of, they’re doing really cool things and cool niches, and especially in the agency world. So I had, you know, Wes Matthews on the podcast, who talked about selling his agency with the help of Todd Taskey. And, and how he navigated that it was really interesting, he built this company, I think, up to over $5 million $6 million and sold it and, but he sold it and he stayed on, which I thought was interesting. He didn’t sell it in like return Island he stayed on. And because he loves what he does, and just kept doing what he normally does, except without all the data management infrastructure with the new company. So that was great. Jon Morris talked about growing his agency from you know, to 250 people before he sold it. John Doherty of Credo talks about helping agencies avoid bad hiring.
