Show notes
I sat down with my friend Brandon Doyle, a true expert in all things agency. Brandon has been running successful agencies since 2008, covering everything from email marketing, SEO, Facebook ads to TikTok and Snapchat ads. But this episode isn't just about his success, most importantly, it's about how you can start your own agency and leverage AI to land your first clients, paying you $1,000, $3,000, or even $5,000 a month.
