Why Showing Up Still Matters (Even When You're Already Successful)

Welcome back to The Agency Hour, the show that helps web design and digital agency owners create real abundance - for themselves, their teams, and the communities they serve. Ever wonder if attending industry events is actually worth your time and money? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the surprising ROI of in-person connections that you simply can't replicate online. Join Troy Dean and Simon Kelly (CEO of Seriously Good Design) as they explore the hidden value of those unstructured, organic conversations that happen between sessions at events - the ones that often create the biggest breakthroughs. Here’s what you’ll learn: How to engineer a 10X return from attending live events Why the conversations between sessions matter more than the presentations The surprising power of shifting your mindset from "this is difficult" to "I love this" How to determine if something truly deserves space in your calendar Why mentors help you see blind spots that are invisible to you Simon shares a personal story about how a single off-hand comment from Troy completely transformed his approach to client work, proving that sometimes the most valuable insights come from casual interactions, not formal teaching.
