In 2019, Damien Zamora hit the lowest point of his life.

After decades as a serial entrepreneur - helping over 300,000 businesses get online and generating more than $500 million in revenue - his company began to spiral. Overhead ballooned. Focus disappeared. Debt stacked up. Lawsuits loomed. Key partners walked away. Payroll became impossible.

Then came the personal tragedy.

In this episode of Your Business Growth Podcast, Jeremy Shapiro sits down with Damien for a raw, honest conversation about collapse, clarity, and rebuilding from the ground up.

You’ll hear how Damien:

• Took over every executive role when the company began unraveling
• Faced more than $1 million in business debt and near insolvency
• Asked for mentorship for the first time—and followed hard advice to stop the bleeding
• Slashed SaaS expenses from $36,000/month to $5,000/month
• Narrowed his focus back to one core offer instead of chasing new ideas
• Doubled monthly recurring revenue to stabilize the business
• Used content, community, and consistency to reduce churn
• Found renewed growth by leaning into done-for-you services and data-driven offers

This episode is a masterclass in leadership during crisis - and a reminder that rebuilding doesn’t start with innovation. It starts with focus, discipline, and clarity.

🎧 Tune in to hear how Damien held his team together, walked away from distractions, and rebuilt momentum when everything pointed toward failure.
