In this episode of the Stay Hungry podcast, host Joel Stone and guest Martha Dale tackle one of the most pressing questions for business owners: should you manage your digital marketing with an agency, hire a freelancer, or go the DIY route? This episode dives deep into the pros and cons of each approach, providing clarity and direction for businesses of all sizes trying to make the right choice for their marketing needs.
Joel and Martha explore the three main paths, starting with what agencies bring to the table - comprehensive services, scalability, and a full team’s expertise. But is the price tag worth it for every business? Then they take a closer look at freelancers, who offer specific skill sets like SEO, content creation, or social media expertise, often at a lower cost. Finally, they examine the DIY path, which lets business owners stay in full control but requires a significant time investment and a steep learning curve.
In this episode’s highlights, they discuss:
Agency Benefits: Full-service options, expert teams, scalability, and the big-picture strategy agencies can provide. But is it always worth the cost?Freelancers’ Flexibility and Specialisation: The benefits of hiring freelancers who can jump into specific projects and how their affordability compares to agencies.DIY Pros & Cons: Why some small businesses choose to do their own marketing to save on costs and keep branding authentic, even if it means investing significant time.Cost vs Value: Breaking down what you’re really paying for with each option and the hidden costs of DIY marketing.Quality and Consistency: How each option handles quality control and project consistency, with agencies often being more systemised, freelancers requiring clear management, and DIY relying on personal discipline.Whether you're a startup owner looking to save costs, a scaling business seeking expert help, or somewhere in between, Joel and Martha provide the guidance to help you choose the path that aligns best with your goals and resources.

In this episode of the Stay Hungry podcast, Joel Stone breaks down the uncomfortable truth about business growth: it requires breaking a few "eggs." Drawing from the classic saying, "You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs," Joel discusses why stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for creating real results in business.
Joel starts by explaining how staying in your comfort zone stifles growth, sharing client stories that illustrate the breakthroughs from embracing discomfort. Drawing inspiration from Henry Ford's famous quote, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got,” Joel emphasises the importance of change and taking calculated risks to move forward.
In addition to exploring the necessity of risk-taking, Joel tackles how perfectionism can paralyse progress. Instead of striving for unattainable perfection, entrepreneurs should focus on momentum and embrace “good enough” to keep moving forward. Joel also highlights the power of adaptability—why continuously adjusting your strategy and messaging is key to long-term success.
The episode concludes by exploring the concept of protectionism, warning business owners about holding on too tightly to what they have at the expense of growth. Joel stresses the importance of being open to change, and challenges listeners to reflect: what "eggs" do you need to break to unlock the next level of growth in your business?
Key Takeaways:
Growth requires discomfort: Staying in your comfort zone leads to stagnation. True progress comes from taking risks and stepping into the unknown.Perfectionism can hinder growth: Aiming for perfection often leads to paralysis. Embrace “good enough” to maintain momentum.Adaptability is key: Regularly review and adjust your messaging and strategy to stay competitive and drive growth.Failure is feedback: View failure as a learning opportunity, not a setback. Some of the best successes come after failure.Let go of protectionism: Guarding what you already have can prevent you from seeing new opportunities for growth, be open to innovation and change.Links:

You’ll be more productive than if you’ve rolled out of bed and rushed to work.There are two types of business owners. One that will say ‘How can I get as much out of this for as little input as possible’, and one that will say ‘How can I constantly improve, and as a by-product of that, I will get more out of it’.Being physically and mentally strong and healthy will always apply to business.

In this episode, Joel and Martha discuss the unconventional truths of advertising success. They explore how sometimes the most impactful ad campaigns defy traditional brand guidelines, showing that a raw, unpolished ad can often outperform a meticulously designed one. Learn why grabbing attention is crucial and how the effectiveness of your ad depends more on stopping the scroll than on perfecting your copy. Plus, they discuss the financial side of customer acquisition, emphasising the need to align your ad spend with your business goals.
The ‘ugly ad’ as a concept does stop scroll.Sometimes an ad that looks sh*t will perform better than an ad that looks ultra-polished because it grabs people’s attention.If you can’t stop the scroll with your ad, then it doesn’t matter how good your copy is because nobody will ever read it.What would you be willing to pay if you could walk into a warehouse and buy your customers off the shelf? Ultimately if the answer is £1,000 and you want 20 new customers that year, you need to find £20,000 for your advertising.

People attach so much emotion to the idea of ‘when I’m rich, life will be better’, but they don’t see that actually it’s the effort and the journey that matters.There’s no end-point to investment, you reach one goal and then the goal and your lifestyle changes.When you feel like you’re winning in business and you’ve reached that level, you then unlock the next level and so then you’re back at the beginning again.Silent inflation is what actually kills people’s wealth. Everyone should be investing because if you’re not, inflation will wipe you out and you won’t even notice it.If you’re making a business decision, particularly big businesses, you have to make them about the RPI (Retail Price Index) and no one’s telling you that.I didn’t start off with a massive bank balance I could start investing with. Instead, I spent an awful lot of time learning something new about money every day.

In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel sits down with finance/investment expert Ben Knight to unravel some common myths about money management. They discuss the reality behind managing finances effectively, the truth about passive income, and why emotional attachments to investments can be misleading.
People who have come into money, usually inheritance, are the most targeted and vulnerable group and that’s not a coincidence.Just having money, doesn’t mean you know how to manage money and maintain it.Passive income is a myth because everything requires something at the start, whether that be time, money, or experience.Property investment is sold as a very hands-off investment because of the time frame you’re talking about, but there’s still a lot of work that you have to put into it.There’s so much other responsibility that comes with property investment, other than just ‘this is the money I’m putting in, and this is the return I’m hoping to get’.You can have a great property strategy that’s tried and tested, and you know if you do X, Y, Z, chances are you’ll make money. If there’s an industry like watches, where it’s a lot harder to have a set strategy due to less data etc, suddenly it becomes a lot more risky.You can’t have too much of an emotional connection to the stocks you invest in. Your love for a business has 0 impact on the stock price.

From calculating the lifetime value of a customer to understanding the true worth of each client relationship, they explore essential insights to refine your marketing strategies and build meaningful client connections. Tune in as they talk about the nuances of pricing versus value in sales conversations, offering actionable tips for business success.
To work out your lifetime value of a customer, you need to know your average order value, how many times that person buys from you in a year, and how many years they remain a customer.If you can't calculate the lifetime value of a client, then how on earth, from a marketing or scaling perspective, will you know what you’d be willing to spend to acquire that customer?If all we’re talking about is price in a sales conversation, then we’re probably not right for each other. I want to know how I can help, and give you value for that money.
