Hiring, Training, and Keeping Profit in Your Pocket with Chris Martinez

Chris Martinez of Bloom Agency joins Suneet to break down what really holds businesses back from scaling—hint: it’s not the economy. They discuss the nitty-gritty of building efficient teams, creating data-driven systems, and letting go of outdated ideas like running your agency “like a family.” With real talk on hiring, accountability, and making tough calls, Chris shares his knowledge to help business owners tighten operations, empower their teams, and stop leaving money on the table.
