About this episode
In this episode of The Friday Habit, Mark sits down with Ozzy Garner—founder of Advertis, angel investor, and entrepreneur with a passion for helping business owners reclaim their time and scale smarter.
From cleaning bathrooms at White Castle to doubling revenue in his first sales job, Ozzy’s path to building a seven-figure agency is anything but typical. He shares candid insights into the grind of entrepreneurship, the lessons learned from angel investing, and how building a business rooted in core values (and powered by faith) has transformed his life.
If you’ve ever struggled with focus, wondered when to quit versus push through, or dreamed of creating a company that runs without you—this conversation is packed with perspective.
🧠 Takeaways:
- Why focus—not chasing every shiny object—is the key to sustainable growth
- The power of perseverance and “outlasting” to find traction
- How taking a vacation exposes the cracks in your business
- Scaling by firing yourself from roles and empowering your team
- Building with intention: serving clients, your team, and your family
- Why faith and entrepreneurship don’t have to be in conflict
