How to Build a Seven Figure Agency and the Power of Podcasting With Kristina Bartold

In this episode of CEO Sales Sessions, I’m joined by Kristina Bartold, co-founder and CEO of The Social Snippet, a seven-figure social media and podcasting agency, co-founder of High Vibe Women, and host of the Community podcast. Kristina and her team actually helped bring CEO Sales Sessions to life, so having her on the other side of the mic feels like a full-circle moment. We talk about what it really takes to step out of the day-to-day and lead like a CEO, from building a team that can operate without you to investing in bigger rooms, creating strategic partnerships, and protecting your time as your business and life grow. We also get into the realities of entrepreneurship and motherhood, and why building a successful company doesn’t have to mean choosing between ambition and family. Here’s what we get into: - Why Kristina treated herself like a CEO from the beginning, and how accepting that someone else can do a job 80% as well can be the exact thing that unlocks your next stage of growth - How getting into rooms with entrepreneurs who are steps ahead of you can completely expand what you believe is possible for your business - Why generosity, genuine relationships, and being willing to “go first” have played such a major role in Kristina’s ability to scale her network and businesses - What Kristina has learnt from landing high-ticket sponsorships, including why understanding what a brand actually wants is far more powerful than showing up with a massive list of deliverables - Why protecting the integrity of your pricing always matters - How motherhood forced Kristina to rethink her capacity, protect her highest and best use, and build a business that supports the life she actually wants One of my favourite takeaways from this conversation is that there is no single point where you suddenly become “ready” to build the team, make the investment, enter the bigger room, or create space for another part of your life. If this conversation gave you a new way to think about leadership, growth, partnerships, or building a business around your life, send it to another female founder who needs to hear it.
