A 60-minute fireside chat for digital agency owners who are tired of chasing the wrong version of success.
August 22, 2025 · Erik Reagan
As business owners, we're conditioned to believe that growth means climbing higher, leading more, and taking on greater responsibility. But what happens when you reach the top and realize you're in the wrong place entirely?
I'm excited to be partnering with The Bureau to share the raw, honest story of why I made the bold decision to "fire myself" as CEO of the company I helped create.
When: Thursday, September 4, 2025 • 12:00pm - 1:00pm ET
Format: Live 60-minute fireside chat + facilitated discussion
Cost: FREE for Bureau members | $49 for non-members
This isn't your typical business webinar focused on tactics and how-to. I'll be sharing the behind-the-scenes story of recognizing that my role as CEO of Focus Lab — the respected branding agency I co-co-founded — no longer aligned with my strengths or purpose. You'll hear about the pivotal moment when I realized I needed to step away from all leadership roles in the company I'd spent over a decade building.

I understand the weight of difficult business decisions firsthand. As co-founder of Focus Lab, I spent over a decade growing the company into an award-winning agency with a respected culture. But recognition and growth weren't enough when the role stopped aligning with my strengths and energy.
A Bit About My Journey
Today, through my coaching work, I help business owners create what I call "sustainable success" — the kind rooted in clarity, character, and joy rather than external metrics alone. I specialize in helping leaders navigate major inflection points, whether that's restructuring, identity shifts, or seasons of burnout.
A Bit About My Journey
My approach blends business strategy with mindset coaching, focusing on the inner work that drives both growth and fulfillment.
In a business culture that often equates worth with hustle and position with success, my story offers a different perspective. This isn't about failure — it's about having the clarity and courage to make aligned choices, even when they go against conventional wisdom.
Why I'm Excited About This Conversation
If you've ever wondered whether you're building the right business or playing the right role within it, I believe this conversation will give you permission to explore those questions honestly.
