He shares his poor experiences in scaling his business, why it failed, and his takeaway. He also explains how he runs his agency, his qualifications for hiring employees, and a few of his marketing techniques on social media.

“The caliber of the person you hire will dictate how much work you can do and how much business you can write.”
