Our Story

One thing we’ve learned over the years is that nobody has it all figured out.

Not founders. Not C-suite executives. Not marketers. And not even consultants like us.

No matter what anyone tells you, growing a business is HARD.

Most entrepreneurs — especially the new version of online ones — build a business specifically to leave their 9-to-5…

Only to realize they’ve traded it in for an 8-to-midnight, 2-shift workday, PLUS weekends.

But here’s the good news…

Growing a business doesn’t need to be that hard.

One of the biggest mistakes we see businesses make is what we like to call “random acts of marketing”.

In other words, creating and launching new campaigns, new ads, new strategies and even new platforms without a clear path or purpose (not to mention what data to track to know if it’s working!)

That’s why we decided to launch Solve to Scale — to help bring our decades of experience, the problems we see every day and the solutions we provide to you, our readers.

We are Chris Muccio and Jon Stoltzfus.

Combined, we have over 4 decades of in-the-trenches marketing experience working with both B2B and B2C clients.
