In this powerful and brutally honest episode of Seller Sessions, Danny McMillan sits down with Dorian Gorski, a seasoned agency founder, to pull the curtain back on the gritty reality of running an Amazon agency in today's commoditized, AI-driven landscape. 🔥 Key Topics & Insights The Brutal Shift in the Agency Landscape Danny doesn't sugarcoat it: "I'd rather die than jump on Clown World on LinkedIn selling magical strategies." He opens up about laying off half his agency team, not as a failure, but as a strategic pivot.
