Scott unveils his brand-new “5 Forces” framework, a methodology born out of frustration, testing, and maybe a little time on the toilet—but designed to help marketers and entrepreneurs unlock hidden revenue from their existing data. You’ll learn why most attribution models fail, what metrics actually drive profits, and how to stop flying blind in your media buying decisions. If you’re running multi-million dollar ad spends or just looking to scale smarter, this episode delivers real-world strategies you can implement today.
