We're back for a special episode!

Big thanks to Kirk Williams of Zato Marketing for joining Nicole and Jon.

Kirk talks through how he thinks about providing value for his customers in a world where the ad networks are seeking to create direct relationships with advertisers.

Nicole and Jon talk about how although our industry is one where you can build a profitable SaaS company, there is much less venture capital appetite for PPC-focused technology then there was 5 years ago.
