In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain to show you exactly how projects are posted within Penji and the work that goes into optimizing client websites. This is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build an agency from the ground up. The website? Not perfect. The pricing? Still evolving. The process? Always improving. But waiting for perfection = waiting forever. The real goal is to start getting customers, refine the strategy, and build as we go. Over the next 1-3 months, the website and copy will continue to evolve, but the core mission remains the same: - Help businesses grow through powerful digital marketing strategies. - Leverage Penji’s creative power to deliver high-quality results. - Build an agency that’s transparent, scalable, and adaptable. This is the reality of starting a business in real time—no fluff, no sugarcoating. Watch the process unfold, in real time. ✨More Information✨ Enter code for 15% off your first month at Penji: FREEIDEAS Become a customer at Penji: https://penji.co/pricing/ Receive Weekly Advice directly to your email: https://getfreeideas.com Subscribe to Free Ideas: https://www.youtube.com/@GetFreeIdeas Subscribe to Dear Dads: https://www.youtube.com/@deardadsco…

In this episode, I dive deeper into: - The lessons learned from growing Penji - The first steps toward launching new ventures - Conversations that challenge the status quo of business and creativity - Why sometimes not knowing is the best way to start I don’t have all the answers. I don’t even have all the questions yet. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this journey, it’s that every great idea starts with action—and this is mine.

For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to making world-class creative services accessible to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and marketing teams. Now, on Valentine’s Day, I’m launching my love letter to that very same mission—while also creating a space where I can share my journey, my lessons, and the raw, unfiltered reality of my life. Not just as an entrepreneur, but especially as a new father. My Purpose for This Channel is Simple: - To show you how to build and scale a business with Penji. - To give you real, actionable ideas you can implement immediately. - To prove that anyone—starting with $0—can create something remarkable. - To prove to myself that the idea I had five years ago was worth it. This video should explain more, but if you’ve ever felt stuck, I hope I can provide 10 minutes (or more, depending on how much I rant) of free ideas that help make your world more profitable. Like, subscribe, follow along—or don’t. I don’t care. But my hope is that one day, you will. ✨More Information✨ Enter code for 15% off your first month at Penji: FREEIDEAS Become a customer at Penji: https://penji.co/pricing/ Receive Weekly Advice directly to your email: https://getfreeideas.com Subscribe to Free Ideas: https://www.youtube.com/@GetFreeIdeas Subscribe to Dear Dads: https://www.youtube.com/@deardadsco…
