Confessions of a Micro Agency Owner

Fact: Growing a micro agency is harder than it looks. Fiction: You have to scale quickly, treat your clients like a number, or engage in scammy growth tactics that put your reputation and values on the line. This is the podcast for micro agency owners tired of trying to grow using dated tactics designed for big, traditional agencies or the sleazy scaling promises all over the internet. (You know, the stuff the bros in backward baseball hats are pitching to you 24/7.) Most podcasts for agency owners focus only on revenue growth as a measure of success. They’re hosted by people who don’t get that your goal isn’t necessarily to make millions but to have a sustainable business that adds to your life…and doesn’t ruin it. And that’s where Confessions of a Micro Agency Owner comes in. Your host, Maggie Patterson, has spent her entire career working with agencies of all sizes and now runs a content production agency with B2B clients. She shares her shameless confessions and everything she’s learned along the way to save you from the “scale sharks” with their tricky tactics that will run you and your agency into the ground. In each episode, she separates fact from fiction while unpacking the typical agency teachings to help answer the question, “Will this help or harm me, my team and my agency?” Join Maggie for anti-hustle strategies to grow slower and stronger as a micro agency. The goal? To help you have a business, team, and life that you don’t want to burn to the ground or fake your death to escape from.
