Look into the "3 Ways to Generate Leads With Your Podcast" E-book for free here on our website! (https://ghapodcast.com)**********************************************************************Mike Koziol is the founder of $100K Consultant, where he works with solo consultants and small agency owners who are already doing $10–30K/month but feel stuck between growth and burnout. His core belief is simple: scaling shouldn’t require hiring layers of people or turning your business into chaos. Before coaching consultants, Mike built a career across compliance, strategy, and leadership, including serving as Head of Compliance for Teva Canada and teaching business strategy and ethics in MBA programs. That mix of corporate rigor and hands-on consulting shows up clearly in his approach: clean systems, clear offers, and leverage over hustle. In this conversation, we’ll explore how consultants can redesign their delivery, pricing, and structure so growth actually makes life easier, not heavier. We’ll also talk about where consultants get stuck once revenue is flowing, why structure is leverage (not a luxury), and what it really takes to build a calm, profitable consulting business. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
