Traditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience. Succession and mentorship are vital to cultivating the next generation of leaders. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Harry L.

The First Step to Freedom: Document Your Genius 17:19

10 weeks ago17:19

17:19

Ever feel like your team members just can't seem to read your mind? You've explained the process a dozen times, yet somehow the work still comes back nothing like what you envisioned? Today, I dive deeper into one of the five crucial steps to remove yourself as the bottleneck in your online agency: documentation. Building on my recent YouTube video comeback, I explain why documentation is essential for creating freedom in your business and how to approach it strategically. Why Documentation Is Your Key to Freedom Documentation isn't just about having process guides—it's the foundation of effective delegation. Without clear documentation, your team members can't understand your expectations, which leads to you constantly stepping in to fix work and your team feeling untrusted. Proper documentation allows you to move from merely delegating tasks to delegating decisions and outcomes—where true freedom lies. As I say in the episode, "That level of delegation is where the freedom comes." Overcoming Common Resistance If you're hesitating to document your processes, you might be thinking: "It takes too much time" "My work is too creative to document" I address both concerns with my philosophy of "work hard once" (credit to Rachel Rogers) to create long-term efficiency. Even for creative work, I suggest documenting the before and after processes while leaving room for creative strategy in the middle. The 3 Types of Documentation Every Agency Needs 1. Client-Facing Processes Onboarding workflows Communication templates Deliverable standards that show what "A+ work" looks like 2. Internal Team Processes Task handoff procedures in your project management system Quality control checklists (my team has at least three people check deliverables) Meeting structures that keep everyone focused and productive 3. Business Development Processes Sales call scripts Proposal templates (I use Dubsado) Follow-up sequences for potential clients Quick-Start Documentation Method Feeling overwhelmed? Start with these simple steps: Record yourself doing the process as a Loom video Have an operations person create written SOPs from the recording Use simple tools—I find "Loom and Google Docs and then linking it all in our project management system" works perfectly Prioritize documenting processes where you frequently give the same feedback The Path to Freedom Takes Time I remind listeners that building solid documentation takes time—it took my team over a year and a half to feel confident in our project management system. What matters is starting the process and being consistent. "If this doesn't feel really good at first, even three to six months from now, that's okay. It doesn't mean that you're doing it wrong, it just means that it's taking time." By investing in documentation now, you're creating the foundation for a team that can work without your constant input, giving you the freedom to focus on CEO-level tasks and strategy.

1 year ago16:37

16:37

In this episode I'm sharing valuable insights on how to "agencify" or productize your offers and create a scalable offer system for your online agency. Why is this important? By templatizing your offers, you're able to carry out your services in the exact same or very similar way from client to client, no matter which team member is assigned to the project. It creates time efficiency and saves you money when you're not reinventing the wheel every time. And last but not least, it allows the services process to run without you! In this episode we'll be walking through these 5 steps to agencify your offers: Get clear on your offers Create a high-level view of your processes Make note of where project plan templates, checklists, canned emails, etc can be incorporated. Create templates & SOPs Train your team on the process Creating a scalable offer system may take time but is essential for freeing up your time and allowing your agency to run smoothly without your constant involvement.

The 10 Things Successful Agency Owners Have in Common 12:02

12:02

In this episode, I'm sharing a fast and furious list of the 10 Things Successful Agency Owners Have in Common (plus a couple bonus tips too). Between my three different coaching programs, where I'm working with close to 100 different agency owners at all different stages in their journey, I've been able to see first hand the commonalities that set successful agency owners apart. 1 - Mastering Delegation : Successful agency owners practice the art of delegation, understanding that they can't do everything themselves. 2 - Handling Tough Conversations : They may not enjoy it, but they don't shy away from difficult discussions, knowing that addressing issues early prevents bigger problems later. 3 - Prioritizing Effectively : They focus on what's truly important and avoid getting sidetracked by tasks that may not be necessary at the moment. 4 - Staying on Top of Your Numbers : Knowing their numbers is crucial for maintaining profitability and making informed decisions. 5 - Balancing Work and Personal Life : Having hobbies and interests outside of their business makes them better CEOs by providing fresh perspectives. 6 - Being Proactive, Not Reactive : Anticipating needs and planning ahead helps them avoid "Oh crap" moments and stay ahead of the curve. 7 - Consistent Marketing and Sales : They make lead generation and sales activities a non-negotiable part of their routine. 8 - Learning to Say No : They understand the importance of setting boundaries to focus on what truly matters for their business and personal life. 9 - Their Team is Now Their Clients : They shift their focus from client support to team support, recognizing that a well-supported team will take good care of clients. 10 - They Don't Major in the Minors : They don't sweat the small stuff and allow minor issues to derail their focus or their business. BONUS TIP #1 - Embracing Failure as a Lesson : They view failures as opportunities for improvement rather than a closed door. BONUS TIP #2 - Decisiveness : They aren't afraid to make decisions, understanding that indecision can be more harmful than making an imperfect choice. I hope this list resonates with you and helps you identify areas where you can align your actions and mindset with those of successful agency owners.

The Leader Within: Cultivating Self-Leadership in Your Online Agency Team 15:40

1 year ago15:40

15:40

In this week's episode of the How She Did That podcast, I’m sharing how to cultivate self-leadership within your online agency team. I am a firm believer that every single member of your team, no matter their role, is a leader in their own right and it is my responsibility as CEO to help them develop those skills! By supporting them in seeing themselves as leaders and providing opportunities for growth, you can foster a culture of ownership, dedication and excellence within your company. In this episode, I share how you can inspire the same leadership and autonomy in your own team: Leadership is an Action: Leadership is about behaviors that align collective direction and execute strategic plans. It's something you do, not just who you are. Encourage Solution-Focused Approaches: Team members should bring solutions, not just problems. This fosters a proactive mindset and encourages strategic thinking. Ask for Their Input: Instead of always providing answers, ask your team members what they think. This empowers them to contribute their ideas and take ownership of their work. Utilize the "Ask Three, Then Me" Philosophy: Encourage team members to seek answers and solutions from multiple sources before coming to you. This helps them use their resources and become more independent. Implement a Tech Triple Check: This process ensures quality control and reminds team members to take responsibility for their work before it reaches the client. Promote Ownership and Responsibility: Allow team members to own their successes and failures. This includes letting them address their mistakes directly with clients, which is a powerful learning experience. Support Their Growth Outside of Your Direct Influence: Provide opportunities for professional development, such as coaching, courses, or stipends for books and conventions. Also mentioned in this episode: Article by McKinsey & Company - https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-leadership ) Don’t forget to sign up for my new masterclass called The Macro on Micro Agencies , happening February 22nd at 11am ET!
