    🎙️ Welcome to another exciting episode of Operation Agency Freedom! 🎙️

    In Episode 178, our host Chris sits down with the insightful and experienced Steve Guberman, founder of Agency Outside and host of the "Agency Bites" podcast. With over 25 years in the agency space, Steve brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion, touching on the challenges and triumphs of self-taught design during the COVID era, the invaluable role of drive and passion in learning, and the essence of living a life of service.

    Steve shares his journey from a soul-crushing stint in corporate America back to the creative agency world, where he thrived as an agency owner for a decade before turning to coaching. He speaks passionately about the crucial lessons he’s learned, the importance of mentorship, and the often-overlooked psychological hurdles agency owners face, such as "copycat goals" influenced by social media.

    Our conversation dives deep into the practicalities of building a scalable, balanced business, and the significance of setting genuine, personal goals. Steve introduces us to his "magic paintbrush" exercise for visualizing and achieving these goals, and we explore the necessity of discipline, focus, and effective delegation in entrepreneurship. Additionally, the evolving landscape of technology and AI and its dual role as both a challenge and an opportunity for businesses is discussed.
