  • Ep 96: TikTok Shop Isn’t Saturated, Agencies Just Aren’t Ready | with Collin Cavanaugh of Commerce Social
    Jan 12 2026


    Summary:

    TikTok Shop isn’t slowing down.

    It’s maturing.

    In this episode, I break down with Collin Cavanaugh why TikTok Shop is entering its most important phase yet, and why agencies that adapt now will have an unfair advantage over the next few years.

    This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about building an agency that’s positioned for where the market is going.

    Takeaways:

    • Why enterprise brands are finally moving into TikTok Shop

    • What separates scalable agencies from opportunistic ones

    • How early TikTok Shop winners built durable systems, not hype

    • Why creators became the most valuable asset on the platform

    • The operational shifts I believe every agency must make

    • How TikTok Shop rewards clarity over speed

  • Ep 94: How One Agency Unlocked Real Growth by Firing the Founder from Delivery | with Anthony Morgan
    Jan 5 2026

    Summary:

    Most agency founders don’t fail because they’re bad at delivery.
    They fail because they never stop doing it.

    In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Morgan, Founder & CEO of Enavi, to unpack the breaking point almost every sub $1M agency hits and the counter intuitive decision that unlocked real, scalable growth.

    Anthony shares what happened when client churn, market pressure, and limited runway forced him to confront a hard truth: spending 10–20% of his time on growth was silently killing the business.

    This conversation is a must listen if you’re stuck as the bottleneck inside your own agency.


    Takeaways:

    • Why agencies under $1M accidentally optimize for survival instead of growth

    • The exact moment Anthony realized it was “grow or let people go”

    • How reallocating 80% of founder time to growth changed lead quality and authority

    • A practical way to track and gamify your growth activities (without guesswork)

    • Why client experience isn’t “soft”, it directly impacts delivery and retention

    • How partnerships quietly became Enavi’s strongest demand capture channel

    • The long term cost of being “too involved” in client work
