Strategy and AI consulting for 6–7 figure agencies to help them scale to 8 figures.
Welcome to How to Scale an 8-Figure Agency, the show where I break down the exact operational, financial, and AI-driven systems that today’s top marketing agencies use to scale past seven figures β€” without burning out or getting trapped in fulfillment.

Every week, we go deep into:
β€’ AI consulting for marketing agencies
β€’ Operational infrastructure that actually scales
β€’ Building automations, workflows, and agent-based systems
β€’ Hiring and training world-class teams
β€’ Improving margins, capacity, and client LTV
β€’ Turning your agency into an 8-figure operation that runs without you

If you’re a founder stuck in the weeds, capped by systems, or wondering how to integrate AI into your agency the right way… this podcast is your blueprint.

I’m Jordan Ross β€” founder of 8 Figure Agency and the person behind hundreds of successful agency scale-ups β€” and this is where we turn chaos into clarity, and CEOs into true operators.

Let’s get into it.
