Built to Sell: How to Scale with Exit Intention w/ Ryan Estes of Kitcaster
What if your biggest success came from a total collapse? For Ryan Estes, that moment came when the pandemic wiped out his agency’s entire client list. Instead of folding, he doubled down on a side project—Kitcaster—and turned it into a thriving podcast booking service that would eventually be acquired. In this episode, Ryan opens up about his scrappy start, the mindset shift that fueled his growth, and why building a culture rooted in clarity (not chaos) made all the difference.
