Read excerpt
Sam’s just back from the States and the big takeaway is this: the problems are exactly the same: mindset, money, leadership, marketing. Same challenges, different accent.One thing that stood out, though, is how quickly the conversation has shifted from “we’re flat out, don’t send us any more clients” to “how can we find, serve and keep the right ones?”That’s where this week’s guest comes in. Sam has unearthed a system that uses AI to dramatically increase both the number and the quality of Googl

In this conversation Michael takes the long retrospective view with Sam and unpacks what it actually took to get there. He shares his supernatural method for moving on staff who aren't a fit (you'll want to hear this one). The handful of KPIs he tracked every single month, incl
