What if success wasn’t just about scaling a company, but about scaling impact?
On this episode of the Scaling Up Success Podcast, host Ryan Van Ornum sits down with Jimi Gibson, Executive Leader at Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, to explore the power of purpose-driven growth, company culture, and staying ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
With over 20 years in the industry, Thrive has become a rare “digital marketing unicorn,” and Jimi takes us behind the scenes, sharing how their team of 175 “Thrivers” balances innovation with heart, from developing the Thrive Score to building a culture rooted in giving, volunteerism, and authentic leadership.
Jimi also opens up about his own journey, from agency creative to C-suite executive, and the lessons he’s learned about taking initiative, leading with curiosity, and embracing opportunities that align with your passions.
If you’re a business owner, marketer, or entrepreneur ready to grow smarter (not just faster), this conversation is packed with real-world insight, inspiration, and actionable takeaways.
