In this episode of the PPC Den podcast, Michael Erickson Facchin sits down with long-time friend and business partner Gonza Martinez of Ziresquare to talk about one of the hardest — and most important — transitions founders face: moving from “doing PPC yourself” to training PPC managers who can eventually train others.
Gonza shares how he went from personally managing Amazon PPC to building a team, selling and acquiring brands, and developing systems so his managers could grow into leaders. We cover mindset, hiring the right analytical people, creating processes, avoiding burnout, and knowing when PPC is no longer your “unique ability” as a founder.
If you’ve ever wondered how to step out of the weeds and build a PPC team that runs (and improves) itself, this episode is for you.
We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
