Om denne podcast
The Angry Ops Guy Podcast is for digital marketing agency owners and operations leaders who are tired of advice that sounds great on paper but falls apart in real life.
Hosted by Mike Gualtieri, a battle-tested operator with nearly 20 years in digital marketing and more than 17 years inside one of the world’s largest global digital marketing networks, the show cuts through buzzwords, empty motivation, and so-called best practices that ignore how agencies actually run. This is operations as it really exists - messy, pressured, over-promised, and still expected to perform.
The podcast is built on real experience, blunt honesty, and a level of sarcasm that only comes from years spent fixing problems no one else wants to own, all while being responsible for keeping everything moving. It is not about inspiration or theory. It is about helping people who live this work every day make sense of it and, if possible, make it suck a little less.
