Author: Lee Matthew Jackson August 4, 2021 Duration: 18:58

Note: The next season of the podcast starts in September 2021. Have a wonderful summer!

Angled Crown launched in early 2013 and was my passion for many years. Yet at the end of 2020 I began to close things down. I’d fallen out of love with what I was doing and it was draining me, physically, mentally and financially.

As the host of a show dedicated to helping agencies build an agency they love, it felt right and proper to close down what I was doing in order to allow my other agency to flourish! 

In this weeks episode, I share what the warning signs were, why I quit, how I quit and my anticipation of the future!
