After selling Supply Razors and stepping away from eCommerce, Patrick Coddou thought he was done building. But two years later, he’s back—and joining AJF Growth.

In this episode, Patrick and Andrew Faris dive deep into what happens after an exit, the draw of meaningful work, and how they’re scaling an agency with process, people, and purpose.

You’ll hear them unpack:

– Why “infinite freedom” isn’t the end goal after all

– The shift from founder-led chaos to operational excellence

– How EOS and offshore talent create leverage

– What makes a creative service not just good—but scalable

– And how AI is changing how teams build and deliver at volume

This is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to evolve from founder to builder—again—with a clear philosophy on work, life, and growth.
