In this episode, I dive deep with Alan Howle, the brains behind a wildly efficient content agency, Triple Effect Media that helps founders and service-based businesses turn 2 days of filming into 6 months of impactful video content.
Alan shares how he broke free from the "videographer for hire" trap, built a full-stack marketing machine, and now works only with long-term, high-value clients.
Expect insights on scripting that converts, authentic storytelling, building scalable content systems, and running ads that actually work.
If you’re a founder or business owner looking to create content that builds real authority (without burning out), this one’s a masterclass.

I sat down with Jess Whatman, founder of Agent Sync, to unpack what it really takes to scale your business using high-level virtual assistants.
She ran me through how I can implement them into my business, and helped me see the areas I need to really let go of, so that I can focus on scaling.
We chat on:
👉🏽 Why so many founders wait until they're in pain to hire help
👉🏽 The difference between a $5 VA and her elite VA’s
👉🏽 Jess’s journey from hiring her first social media VA to building a 100+ person remote team
👉🏽 The mindset shift required to delegate and grow
👉🏽 The best way to train your team and delegate tasks
👉🏽 How one client went from drowning in admin to having most of her time back
Whether you’re a founder, podcaster, or creative agency owner — this episode will inspire you to stop doing it all yourself and build the systems that free you up to grow.

✔️ The war on masculinity and how it affects modern men, and society as a whole
✔️ The power of adaptability and pivoting in business
✔️ How to find authenticity, freedom, and purposeJaguar Heart is a Therapist, having worked with over 6000 people to free them from the mental prisons they sat within for many years.
His work is very different to a traditional therapist. He explains it as "excavation of the mind", and his techniques are direct, to the point, and only for those who are ready to leave their old self at the door.
