Executive coach, agency owner, and someone who's done the hard part already.

I'm Kate Ahl (pronounced "all"), and I've spent over a decade building and running a service-based business from the ground up. I know what it takes to grow, and I know exactly what gets in the way.

How this all got started

I started Simple Pin Media on January 1, 2014, with three beta clients, a simple website, and, honestly, a mindset of failure. I really thought it would go down in flames before it got started. Instead, within 18 months, we had a full marketing company, a growing team, and clients who loved the work. Over the next decade, I grew it to seven figures with a team of women I'm genuinely proud of.

That journey taught me everything. The systems that work, the mistakes that cost you, and what it actually feels like to hand off the work and trust your team. Now I take all of that and put it to work for agency owners who are ready for the next level.

<< What I Value >>

I believe that those you learn from need to align with your values as well. Here's what I value in my business and what I hope to pass onto you.

Community

over competition

There's enough business in this world for all of us. Stop making your fellow service provider the enemy. A rising tide lifts all boats and therefore we all grow. I'm all about community over competition.

Kindness always!

A kind word, gesture or action speaks volumes and impacts someones life at a deep level. There's always room for kindness even when times are hard. In our communities we practice and endorse kindness.

Don't Hold Back

You don't want a teacher that gate keeps or waits for you to pay tons of money to get the "secrets". In my coaching program and ongoing membership I don't hold back info and neither should you. If we're all about community over competition and kindness then share freely.
