Founders in Flight | Featuring Dave Korinek from Magnetic Creative | A Mallard Agency Podcast

Hosted by CEO Sean Sidders, this podcast features honest conversations with Dallas-Fort Worth founders, entrepreneurs, and executives about leadership, scaling businesses, navigating challenges, and what it really takes to build successful companies. In this episode, Sean sits down with Dave Korinek, founder of Magnetic Creative, to mark 20 years in business. Dave shares how a one-person creative shop grew into an agency built around strategy, content, and growth marketing, why he stepped out of the CEO chair to get back to the work he actually loves, and how he learned to spot the difference between clients who want a vendor and clients who want a real partner. They also cover Dave's advice for early founders: know your value, be selective about who you work with, and start a lot of little fires before you run toward the one that burns brightest. These conversations are designed to give you practical insights into leadership, growth, and building companies that actually make an impact. Sit back, relax, and let's take flight.
