  • You’re Not Growing – Because You’re Afraid to Lose
    May 15 2025

    In this episode, Nick and Mike dive headfirst into one of the hardest truths in agency life—and business at large: growth requires risk, and too many teams (and clients) get stuck in the safety of “good enough.” From long-standing client relationships that have plateaued to misaligned expectations that silently erode trust, the guys share firsthand stories and scars that reveal why clarity, commitment, and honest check-ins are non-negotiable for sustainable growth.


    They explore the difference between clients who are interested in growth and those truly committed to it, and why the fear of losing something “safe” might be the very thing that’s holding you back. Plus, how ego, complacency, and unspoken assumptions quietly kill opportunity—and what you can do to stay ahead of the blindside.

  • Senior Living’s Marketing Wake-Up Call: They’re Savvier Than You Think
    Apr 15 2025

    The senior living industry is facing a seismic shift—and most operators are sleeping through it. In this episode, we unpack why today’s senior customers (and their adult children) are savvier, more digital, and less tolerant of outdated sales tactics than ever before.


    We break down the disconnect between marketing and sales, the real cost of ignoring leads, and how lack of transparency is costing communities thousands—if not their reputations. From $600 inquiries that go nowhere to email drip campaigns that miss the mark, we call out the inefficiencies and offer a better way forward.


    If you're still hiding your prices, ghosting leads after 48 hours, or relying on tours alone to close the deal—this is your wake-up call. Operators, sales teams, marketers—this one’s for you.



    Let’s talk real strategies, real numbers, and real people.
