Is your Amazon strategy spread too thin? In this episode, Michael is joined by Noemi Bolojan (CEO of ScaleWave) to cut through the noise of 2026. After a chaotic few years, the biggest trend for successful sellers isn’t doing more—it’s doing fewer things at a 10/10 level.
We’re diving deep into the “5+1 Essential Skills” you need to master to actually move the needle this year. From the “lifeblood” of your business (Inventory Management) to the hidden goldmine in your Brand Analytics, we break down exactly where to focus your energy so you can stop guessing and start growing.
Stop being an “inch deep” in a hundred activities. Tune in to learn how to go miles deep on the metrics that matter.
We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
