From $199/Month to Seven Figures: Jason Hunt on Building Merged Media with Focus and Discipline
Scott Ward, host of the HabitStack Podcast, interviews Jason Hunt, co-founder of Merged Media, a digital marketing agency combining SEO and social media expertise. They discuss how Gary Keller's "The One Thing" shaped Jason's approach to prioritization, the 80/20 principle of noise versus signal in daily tasks, and the discipline required to build sustainable routines. Jason shares his journey from walking into businesses with a camera to landing his first client at $199/month, the strategic decision to merge with an SEO company to balance creative and technical strengths, and how AI has empowered rather than replaced his team. The conversation explores customer journey mapping, the shift from retainer-only clients to strategic equity partnerships, the challenges of scaling from seven to eight figures, and building a personal brand.
