Our guest today is Jonathan Becker, Founder of Thrive Digital. Paid growth is a complex topic and it is something that we reference quite a bit on the show, but we've never really dug in. Jonathan and his team at Thrive have deployed over $3.5 billion in paid acquisition budgets on behalf of their client base. Naturally, that makes him an ideal guest to dig deeper.

In the conversation, we draw on parallels to investing, how Jon and Thrive approach campaigns & what metrics they're looking at, what the rules of thumb really are, and Jonathan's general philosophy on marketing as a whole. Please enjoy our conversation with Jonathan Becker.
