Scaling a Digital Agency: AI, Time Management & Hiring Strategies That Actually Work (Jordan Ross)

In this episode, Jordan Ross dives into what’s actually holding most agency founders back—and it’s not AI. He unpacks the concept of “time wedges” as a tool for regaining strategic focus, shares cautionary tales of tragedy to highlight the fragility of founder-led businesses, and makes a strong case for why you must stress-test your culture before you scale. You’ll also hear about Jordan’s unique “Hiring Three” approach to reduce hiring risk, and how effective delegation is the only way to go from operator to true CEO.

Whether you’re drowning in delivery, stuck in hiring purgatory, or scaling too fast without the systems to support it—this episode is a must-listen.

About the Podcast

How to Scale an 8 Figure Agency 🚀
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 — without burning out or getting trapped in fulfillment.

Every week, we go deep into:
• AI consulting for marketing agencies
• Operational infrastructure that actually scales
• Building automations, workflows, and agent-based systems
• Hiring and training world-class teams
• Improving margins, capacity, and client LTV
• 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 — founder of 8 Figure Agency and the person behind hundreds of successful agency scale-ups — and this is where we turn chaos into clarity, and CEOs into true operators.

Let’s get into it.
