Join us as we sit down with Lindsay Connelly, founder of Linden Digital Marketing, to talk about what it really takes to build a business from the ground up while raising a family, managing a team, and serving 80+ clients at a time. We dig into how she turned a winding career path—film, finance, marketing—into a competitive advantage and why Rochester has become the perfect home base to scale something meaningful.
They unpack the leap from solopreneur to employer, the pressure of that first hire, how to maintain trust and culture with a fully remote team, and the systems that keep her agency running without burning everyone out. Lindsay also breaks down the biggest misconceptions business owners have about marketing, what an agency can and can’t fix, and the boundaries that keep both clients and creatives thriving. If you’re an entrepreneur, agency owner, or someone who feels on the edge of starting your own thing, this episode is packed with proof that you don’t need a perfect plan, you just need the courage to bet on yourself.
