What If Hourly Rates Are Holding You Back
Breaking Free from the Hourly Billing Trap
“You are the thoroughbred entrepreneur.”
“It feels like you’ve done way more than twenty. It’s a lot more philosophical than your average agency — some really refreshing, different angles.”
“When you smile, you cannot do that and at the same time be a bad person. It’s not possible.”
“It’s about partnership — kindness, honesty, transparency, listening, and making sure you work together as human beings.”
What hosts said after.
Creating Connections
Joel was such a great conversation with so much knowledge about marketing and how to make it meaningful and impactful with all the changes we’ve encountered in technology. The conversation was fun and valuable in the simple ways that marketing can work without overdoing it or getting lost in the process. Joel was an awesome guest!
That Will Nevr Work Podcast
Joel shows up with 17 years of evidence that a different path works — and he lays it out in a way that makes you wonder why you ever followed anyone else’s blueprint. The hourly billing trap conversation alone was worth the whole episode. If you’ve ever felt like the harder you work, the less it pays off — Joel explains exactly why that’s happening and what to do about it.
