Episode 17: The First Year of Going Solo (Good, Bad, and Ugly) with Dom Odoguardi

Most people who have gone solo come on podcasts to tell you how their revenue is up 50%.

Dom Odoguardi came on seven months in to tell you his pipeline is looking rough, he has lost four clients in a month, and he is still figuring out what he is actually selling. That is the episode.

We cover:

• Why Dom started with employee-generated content, realized almost nobody knew what that meant, and had to rethink the whole offer

• The nest egg strategy he used to give himself six months of runway before jumping

• How warm outbound actually works when you refuse to use sequences and just vibe it

• The existential spiral that hit in December and what snapped him out of it

• Why pricing too low got him clients he spent every day regretting

• What his month-to-month revenue curve actually looks like, including the number

• The margin reality of video work when you have to hire shooters and travel

• Why he lost four clients in the same month he had his best month ever

• The question he still cannot answer on camera because the client is still active
