From Pitch P*rn Disasters To Miami H*okers

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 53:08

This episode goes completely off the rails 😭

We cover:

- The agency pitch disaster that accidentally opened a porn site in front of a client

- Why Miami agency events are VERY different to Ibiza

- The bizarre WPP “bomb threat” culture simulation

- British vs American agency culture

- AI tools taking over agencies… and apparently choosing blackmail when threatened 👀

- Why founders are still the ones pushing AI adoption

The truth about agency culture, hybrid work, and team morale

Plus: hookers at the Agency Hackers Miami afterparty, competitor outreach tactics that actually win clients, and why “bring back graft” might be the best sales advice of 2026.

Absolute chaos from start to finish.

The Problem With Agencies No One Talks About

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 • Duration 40:50

On this episode, we get real about the stuff most agencies avoid.

We talk ADHD diagnoses and what it’s actually like being on meds (yes… it basically felt like micro dosing at first), burnout, and why looking after yourself is the foundation of doing good work.

Then we get into the big one vision.

Why it feels cringe, why most companies fake it… and why you eventually hit a wall without it.

We break down:

- Why agency events (and ideas) lose momentum after a few years

- The difference between tactics vs actual strategy

- Why most “values” are just words on a wall

- And how to actually prove them (not just say them)

- Why the best case studies might be the ones where things went wrong

Plus: chaos at events, smelling salts on podcasts, and the reality of trying to build something that actually matters.
