What if your business could thrive without you there every day?

In this episode of the Marketing 4 Business podcast, Scott chats with Brad Ferris, a Canadian agency owner, author, and former nurse turned entrepreneur, about how to build a team that actually runs the business, so you don’t have to.

Brad’s been in the trenches. From managing at McDonald’s to running a 40-person agency, he’s learned what it really takes to hire well, grow leaders from within, and create a culture people want to stick around for.

You’ll hear:

  1. Why most hiring processes are broken, and what to do instead
  2. How Brad takes 6 weeks off with full confidence in his team
  3. The interview question he uses to find serious talent
  4. A simple framework to grow leaders inside your business
  5. How your Google reviews will shape your AI visibility
  6. And why marketing never fixes your problems, it just reveals them

If you’re serious about building a better business, this one’s packed with insights you’ll want to action straight away.
