Author: Andy Isom | Amazon FBA Seller & Agency Founder June 16, 2025 Duration: 17:09

Hiring the right team is one of the biggest challenges brand owners face—especially in the early stages of growth. In this episode of Built for This, Andy Isom is joined by Michael Jordan, co-CEO of Bad Marketing, to break down a smarter hiring strategy for e-commerce and Amazon sellers.

 

We dive into which roles to hire first, where to find top talent outside of the usual "go hire a Filipino VA" playbook, and how to scale your Amazon or E-Commerce team globally without wasting money. If you're ready to stop doing everything yourself and start building a team that actually moves your brand forward, this episode is your blueprint.
