    Escaping the Agency Grind: How to Build Real Freedom as a Digital Agency Founder
    Jul 9 2025

    You didn’t start your agency to work 12-hour days glued to Slack.

    In this first episode of Inside the Agency, host Samad Rahim sits down with Chris Rudolph, founder of Freedom Agency. He's spent the last decade coaching agency owners, and he shares his insights to unpack the real reason so many founders feel stuck in the day-to-day.

    We dive into:

    • The hidden traps that steal your freedom (even after hitting $20K/month)
    • Why hustle culture is silently burning out agency founders
    • The mindset shift from "doer" to "builder"
    • Step-by-step strategies to reclaim your time, energy, and clarity
    • How to hire support that actually frees you up
    • And what freedom really looks like (it’s not just working from the beach)

    If you’re building an agency but feel like your agency is building walls around you, this one’s for you.
