Today we’d like to introduce you to Joe.
Hi Joe, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started FIVE75alive because I wanted to merge two worlds I’ve always loved: creativity and technology. In the beginning, it was just me freelancing—building websites, running social media, and helping friends and small businesses tell their stories online. But I quickly noticed that the real gap wasn’t just content, it was the systems behind it. Business owners were overwhelmed by technology and didn’t know how to use digital tools to save time and grow.
So I shifted from just design work to building a full digital agency that focuses on both creativity and automation. That’s where FIVE75alive really found its lane: helping clients not only look good online but actually run smarter. Over this past year, I have worked with law firms, influencers, and entrepreneurs, and I’ve also built out original projects like MaxxedOut Sports Entertainment, where I get to bring my passion for sports, storytelling, and content creation to life.
The “alive” in FIVE75alive isn’t just a name, it’s about taking ideas and businesses that might feel stuck or outdated and helping them come alive in the digital space. That’s been my story so far, and it’s what continues to drive me today.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting anything new is not smooth, and my agency was no exception. In the beginning, I was doing everything myself, selling, creating, managing clients, and trying to learn new tools on the fly. There were moments of doubt, especially when projects slowed down or when I felt like I was trying to do too much at once.
The biggest struggle was figuring out how to shift from being just a freelancer to building something sustainable, with processes and systems that could grow beyond me. Those challenges forced me to get sharper about time management, AI automation, and choosing the right opportunities.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
FIVE75alive is a digital agency built to handle what small businesses really need: better branding, smarter content, and systems that actually work. We specialize in website design, social media, SEO, AI automation, video editing, and content strategy.
What makes us different is that we’re not just about making things look good, we also build the tools and processes behind the scenes so businesses can run more efficiently.
Our clients know us as the team that can “handle it all,” combining creativity with automation to save them time while helping them grow.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that time is the real currency of business. Early on, I spent too much of it on repetitive tasks that didn’t move the needle.
Over time, I discovered how powerful AI automation and smart time management could be. By streamlining processes and letting technology handle the routine work, I’ve been able to focus on creativity, strategy, and building relationships, the things that truly grow a business.
