#207 - What To Do With A Team Member That Isn’t Performing?

In this episode, I had a conversation with Rohan Sheth, the founder of GrowRev. He's been in the online marketing space for over ten years, managed over $50 million in ad spend, and generated over $100 million in revenue for his clients. He's been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, and I had him on the podcast. He's also the guy who's helped me tremendously on my own Instagram journey. We're about to hit 200,000 followers, thanks to a quick conversation that I had with him about two years ago. We, of course, talked about how his brain works, how his business works, and much, much more.
