Summary

Working around the clock and still can't shake the feeling that something's not sustainable—that's exactly where Mark finds himself. Preston sits down again with Kevin Rice, who turned a garage side project into a nine-figure agency exit, to unpack how he knew it was time to stop grinding solo and start building a team. From outsourcing your first project to walking away from clients like Pepsi, this episode is a real look at the risk, discipline, and timing behind turning freelance income into an actual company.
