Growth Unfiltered - feat. Andrew Lee Jenkins

In this episode, I offer up two big tips for dramatically, increasing productivity and helping drive synergistic results (lol just kidding).  But for real, though, there are a few things that I found that can help with getting rid of the existential dread that starts to sink in when your goals seem like they're moving further away and tasks continued to pile up. Hopefully these tips can help you with moving yourself towards a calm, cool, and collected 2026.   If you like the podcast, you'll love The Field Notes Newsletter

In today's episode, I dig into the cathartic experience of finishing the most epic of Netflix binges.... Let's talk about legacy. Let's talk about how you want to be remembered. Let's talk about standing up collectively and holding one another accountable for unethical behavior in the marketing industry. Let's ACTUALLY drain the swamp. This has been a long time coming and I'm genuinely excited about sprinting into 2026 with my agency mostly systematized so that I can be an active member in the community while still delivering results to clients at an affordable price. Time to start moovin' units people.

On today's episode, I talk in depth about solving problems and then moving upstream and downstream from those problems to solve bigger or smaller problems. Sounds like a shit load of problems, right... wrong. It's how I help people go from finding something that I say funny or entertaining, and turning them into raving fans of my brand. If you wanna learn how to genuinely help people grow from wherever they are to wherever they wanna go and you believe that you are a great source of information or you just want to build a big ass business that serves people at the highest level I think this one is gonna make a huge difference for you. Listen and share.   Cheers, Andrew Lee Jenkins

On this episode, I weigh in on the recent string of people being exposed as scammers publicly. I've seen a pile of people just over the last week drag themselves and others through the mud based on their past decisions, coming to light. I'd like to extend a small piece of advice to you all...    You know right from wrong and when you pause right before making that decision, please remember that what happens in the dark eventually always be brought into the light. If you're willing to live in a glass house and be honest, transparent and ethical in all of your dealings, you will succeed slower, but you will build on top of a foundation that is stable till the end of time.

How do I identify people that I can truly trust as sources of information in the modern clout goblin era?! It's no surprise that everyone in their brother needs to bask in the sunlight of being Internet famous today.... and as business owners or agency owners, we get to suffer the price of admission. In this episode, I provide a few tests I like to use to identify whether or not someone could be a useful source of information on my journey. Use this test on anyone, including myself before you decide to listen to what they have to say.  If this helped consider checking out: The Field Notes Newsletter feat Andrew Lee Jenkins

Tune into this one to learn one of the biggest tips in my opinion on how you can sidestep even needing to deal with cold traffic to a large degree moving forward.

As human beings, generally speaking, we are pretty much lazy as shit. It takes a lot of effort to constantly fight the urge and push for the proper stimulus that you need for growth - but it's absolutely vital if you're serious about accomplishing things in whatever area of your life. I stumbled upon one of the more entertaining Internet, beefs involving the "science based " lifting community and the grizzled veterans that are just promoting common sense, lifting advice and actually talking about growing and have the results to back it up. It's definitely made me reflect back on how this concept has been playing out in my life, my business, my fitness journey, etc.. The funniest thing about this entire situation is that the people offering them advice the loudest and most confidently are the ones who quite literally have absolutely nothing to show for the results that they're promoting. Maybe tomorrow's episode is gonna touch on shutting the fuck up until you have actual results.

In every deal there's more than one component - Price... everyone seems to focus on Price and they tend to forget all the other pieces that are involved in every single deal that you make. Relationship capital, trust., guarantees, delivery methods, and timelines, etc all factor into whether or not they offer is attractive or not. People are not out here, solely focused on price despite your aggressive belief that that is the case. You probably have clients who are literally in business with you almost solely because they like you ( as strange as that may sound...).   I recommendation is to figure out how you can extract the hidden value and offer up more value in every deal that you make by beginning to actually recognize what is going on in the deal.

As a result of a meeting that I did the other day with my friend Darren Shaw, I decided to completely revamp my desk set up. This has gone in lockstep with a lot of the recent changes I've been making as well digitally to get things organized so that I can be more productive. Check out Facebook if you wanna see some photos of the new desk set up and if you have questions on anything feel free to ask how I've configured any of it if you're interested in setting up a small studio space for yourself as well.

Time to put an end to the rambling! Today was a flurry of activity - I hired a new subcontractor on the spot to help run ads for me as I scale. I made the decision to completely revamp my desk set up so that I could pump out content, faster, and stop having to hunch over it like an awkward turtle. I visited a client's new location and helped them untangle some spaghetti and did a little bit of untangling myself. kudos were had all around. Time to up the production value fam

Stereotypes are just patterns. some are true. some are false. some helpful. and some negative. Everyone recognizes them but you can act on them to change the trajectory of your life if you choose to. 

 today was a super busy day absolutely grinding things out and making things happen nailing down this new on boarding process while trying to also juggle current client load and website builds has me looking like I've got four arms. Shit is crazy over here, but we are making it happen and I'm excited to have contractors on board and everybody organized with orders in the water going in the same direction.

 two days in a row! I expect this is going to get harder and harder as time goes on, but it's another great growing opportunity for Catalyst RVA marketing agency and me personally as well... so today I'm digging into some thoughts about hiring and what I'm looking for and why. In the process of scaling my agency, I know I'm going to need to add a few members to the party so to speak – and that means I have to get organized and gear up so that we can all work efficiently and not turn into a clownworld fuckin circus. Today was the day we started that organizational process... Also, I put some lazer beams on my gun for BB Wars. 

Today I went through an overview of what's been going on since we last caught up! We are gonna be making a slight format change and I am going to be doing more frequent episodes on how I scale Catalyst RVA marketing agency to the fuckin moon this year. After hitting $20,000 in a single month and realizing that I had been coasting, it's time to walk in and start making some shit happen. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, hopefully, it helps – if it doesn't at least you can be entertained watching me crash and burn in the process amirght?

Every day we inch closer and closer to the movie Idiocracy going from satire to documentary. I left a cult several years ago and many of you are slowly indoctrinating yourselves into one right now as we speak. Social media is ravaging independent thought and critical thinking skills and driving you aggressively towards hating your neighbors and not the real problem. BUT for those of you willing to slow down and recalibrate, the world can be your oyster (or something better tasting if you want). Wake the fuck up - it's becoming REALLY EASY to win today if you're not consumed by laziness in thought.    My projects:  https://andrewleejenkins.com https://catalystrva.com https://goagencymastermind.com  

What's up Catalyst Fam!? This week I'm breaking down how and why I stopped focusing on some dumb problems that weren't moving the needle. Hopefully, this look at the difference between A, B, and C problems helps you refocus and drop that mental energy from some bullshit problems that arent actually holding you back like I had to do.    My projects:  https://andrewleejenkins.com https://catalystrva.com https://goagencymastermind.com  

Spurred by a random phone call I went into a spiral of self-reflection. I genuinely appreciate my friends because oftentimes their calls or messages to bounce ideas off me turn into some massive self-reflection. Today we discuss a few short examples of how we can avoid taking the necessary steps and walk through how we can walk over the barriers we often put in place to avoid the fear of that first step...   My projects:  https://andrewleejenkins.com https://catalystrva.com https://goagencymastermind.com  

This Guy Is A Dick Today we get to dig into what makes Andrew Lee Jenkins tick.

Tune in today to hear me ramble about being in alignment with your values and how to stop hiding them from the world.
