Hiring Secrets from an 8-Figure Agency CEO w/ Eric Siu
Isn’t it refreshing when someone further down the path is willing to share the successes AND failures they’ve seen along the way?
That’s exactly the type of conversation you’ll get from today’s episode with Eric Siu, CEO of Single Grain, Founder of Leveling Up and Co-Host of the top-ranked Marketing School Podcast.
Eric’s journey has taken him from having “no idea how to run a business” at 27 to now having scaled his agency into 8-figures, all while building a media brand, authoring a book and becoming a recognizable name in SEO and modern marketing more broadly.
Despite his successes, Eric does hold back from sharing his missteps along the way and (most importantly) the lessons you can take from them.
For instance, you’ll hear:
What roles should be contractors vs FTEs in your agency
The CEO’s actual role in hiring during times of growth
Counterintuitive ways to identify and recruit new talent
In addition to sharing his hard learned hiring secrets, Eric shares:
The 2 best operating systems you can steal from to make your agency run more efficiently
