What actually breaks agency bottlenecks (hint: it’s not hiring)

Over the last few years, I’ve worked with 90+ agency owners who were all facing the same cycle:

Late nights.
Slack chaos.
And the sense that if they stepped away — even briefly — the business would fall apart.

They weren’t failing.
They were just trapped inside systems that couldn’t scale.

And I’ve lived through that, too… building multiple businesses, burning out, and eventually realizing what actually works.

So when I joined Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast, we didn’t talk hacks or hustle.

We talked about real transformation and what it actually takes to grow an agency without sacrificing your health, family, or freedom.

🎙 Two coaches. One honest conversation. No fluff.

Inside the episode:
✅ How to stop being the bottleneck and start building something that runs without you
✅ How one agency scaled from $15K to $100K MRR in 9 months while working less
✅ Why most “delegate more” advice doesn’t solve the real problem
✅ What systems-driven leadership really looks like

Talk soon,
— Jesse

P.S.
If you run an agency, this episode gives you a roadmap to lead with clarity, not just survive the chaos.
