Imagine being a successful, serial entrepreneur who has consistently delivered massive results – like helping over 300,000 businesses get online and generating over half a billion dollars in revenue – only to face an absolute crash, resulting in over $1 million in debt.
That’s where our guest found himself in 2019, watching his company spiral towards insolvency while dealing with lawsuits and losing key partners. Yet, by making some incredibly hard choices and strategically refocusing on his core strength, he was able to stabilize the company, double his monthly recurring revenue, and then find his next big hit, successfully doubling his overall revenue again in 2024.
How did he hold his team together, walk off massive debt, and pivot back to growth when everything pointed toward failure?
Welcome to today’s episode of Your Business Growth Podcast. I’m your host, Jeremy Shapiro, author of Your Business Growth Playbook, and my guest today is Damien Zamora.

Damien focuses on helping business owners and marketing agencies scale so they can design their lives to match their desires.
Early in his career, he focused on business finance, pioneering the use of the latest technology to secure the lowest possible fees for businesses and entrepreneurs.
