He talks about achieving 500% growth in just 2 weeks, getting Piggyvest to 5 million users in a month, and why he believes you have to be "a certain level of cracked" to succeed in marketing.If you've ever wondered what it really takes to make it in performance marketing, or why "you can work anywhere" might be the biggest lie ever told, this episode is packed with gems you need to hear.As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
