End-of-Year Recap, Rebuilding After Loss, and Why We Rebranded Into the World’s First AI Consulting Firm for Marketing Agencies

In this end-of-year recap episode, I break down one of the most intense and defining years of my life and business.

I cover the lessons learned from losing my home, what that experience forced me to reevaluate about life and business, and why it accelerated a full rebrand of our agency into what we believe will become the world’s leading AI consulting firm for agencies.

I also share early details about our 2026 live event, what it’s designed to solve for agency owners, and why the next phase of agency growth will be driven by AI, systems, and leverage—not more people, more clients, or more chaos.

This episode is about resilience, reinvention, and where agencies must evolve next.
