   Lessons Learned from Building a 8 Figure Agency – Kurtis Anderton, Agency Closers

   In this unique episode, we flip the script. Kurtis Anderton, former top closer at BAD Marketing and founder of Agency Closers, turns the tables and interviews Eddie Maalouf instead of the usual format. Kurtis asks the questions nobody else would dare to ask, diving deep into Eddie's decision to buy Scoville Hot Chicken (and why he'd go all-in on chicken over Bad Marketing if forced to choose), his unconventional approach to family-business integration, the real story behind his brother's kidnapping in Haiti, and how he makes 50+ critical business decisions while casually sitting on beanbags. You'll discover Eddie's philosophy on speed over perfection (making 100 decisions with 20% wrong beats making 3 perfect ones), his "poker face" advantage in crisis situations, why he negotiates every deal like his life depends on it, and his brutally honest take on parenting kids who are growing up with generational wealth. This isn't your typical business podcast, it's an unfiltered look inside the mind of someone operating multiple eight-figure businesses simultaneously, all while refusing to let any deal happen on terms that aren't his.

[…] And it combined different software to create a better management system. For us, so we can manage our inventory, and we could always know what we have in, what we have out, et cetera, right? So I'm coming in, I'm looking at the business. I do, basically, it's a whole consultation. I spend like a whole day in the business. I watch everything, how it runs, everything. I take my notes on what could be better. And then we go down the list in order of what's the most important thing that can create the biggest impact.
