💥 What does it take to become one of the fastest-growing companies in America?
Jamal English, CEO of EDM Network — ranked #33 on the Inc. 5000 list — pulls back the curtain on how he built a multimillion-dollar lead generation machine that’s redefining how publishers and advertisers do business.
🎯 This is more than lead gen — it’s a full-blown ecosystem:
✅ Media buying at scale
✅ Publisher support and monetization tools
✅ Advertiser platforms built on real transparency
✅ Innovative SaaS products that give everyone an edge
EDM stands for Evolving Dynamic Media, and they live up to the name. Their secret sauce? Radical transparency.
By showing advertisers exactly where every lead comes from, they took 90-day retention rates from 30% to over 90%.
But this episode goes deeper than growth headlines. Jamal gets real on:
💸 Writing off nearly \$2 million in one year — and what he learned
🧠 How EDM protects itself with credit checks, terms, and receivables insurance
📊 Turning business goals into equations and hitting numbers with precision
📈 A financing program that’s taken media buyers from \$10K/month to over \$1M
🗣️ Quote you need to hear:
