Are you relying on a “checklist” approach to marketing only to wonder why the results never match your expectations?

In this episode of Thinking That Matters, I sit down with Reed Hansen, Chief Growth Officer and owner of Market Surge, to unpack the truth about scaling a business in today’s digital world. Reed shares how his own entrepreneurial journey, from running a photography studio with his wife to leading a marketing agency, taught him that quality of business drives the quality of marketing.

If you’ve ever struggled with doubts like:

• Why aren’t my ads or emails converting?

• Can I really afford to outsource marketing?

• How do I balance being present with my family while growing my business?

…this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies.
