👉 Grow your bottom line: https://www.kynship.co/ 

Too many brands expect an agency to come in and 10x their business without fixing anything internally.

In this episode, I get brutally honest about something I don’t think enough people in our world talk about: agency incentives, pricing structures, and who’s actually responsible for growth. (Hint: it’s not your agency.)

I walk through why most agency pricing models are broken and how we’ve structured ours at Kynship to align incentives the right way. I also get into the real reason your business might be stuck, because growth takes way more than good ads or flashy creative. If your margins suck, if retention’s declining, if your ops are a mess... No agency can fix that for you.

Growth is a team sport, and it's time we started treating it that way.

Let's jump right in!
