"How I F*cked Up" and Other Musings—The CF Podcast Series from Copacino Fujikado

In this edition of “Playing Offense,” Chris Copacino chats with industry leader and Ignition Consulting Group founder Tim Williams about the big shift agencies are making—from hourly billing to output-based pricing. Williams highlights how crucial it is for agencies to restructure revenue models to reflect real value. He argues that hourly billing is out of touch, especially with AI speeding up solutions that time-based pricing just doesn’t capture.
