The Rise of AI for Serious Sellers — Insights from Danny & Dorian I Part 4
In this high-impact episode of Seller Sessions, Danny McMillan is joined by Dorian Gorski for a no-fluff exploration of how AI is shifting the Amazon ecosystem. The conversation orbits around a powerful new tool called "Manus" — an AI-driven platform built to go beyond surface-level product research and tap into rich demographic insights, customer motivations, and actionable listing data. 🧠 Understanding Buyer Psychology with AI Dorian breaks down how true conversion hinges on triggering emotional responses rooted in a deep understanding of demographics. By using Manus, sellers can uncover why people buy, whether for joint pain or inflammation, and then translate that into targeted creatives and copy. “Your time is not free,” Danny reminds listeners. Cutting corners with free tools may cost more in the long run than investing in powerful, scalable AI. 🔍 From Surface-Level Summaries to Data-Driven Strategy Traditional AI like GPT offers general summaries, but Manus dives into forum scraping, sentiment analysis, and customer behavior mapping. Example: Discovering that most buyers are 45+ year-old women looking for joint relief allows precise targeting — from imagery to ad copy. 💡 AI as a Business Solution, Not Just a Listing Tool Danny emphasizes: “Don’t waste your time optimizing listings alone. Solve bigger problems.” AI can generate cash flow models, product comparisons, and market research in minutes — what used to take weeks. “Ask better questions, and you’ll get better answers.” 🛠️ Tools & Tactics Tools like POE (low/no-code builder) and HuggingFace provide diverse ways to integrate AI into business processes. AI isn’t a silver bullet — use it where it saves time and adds value, not where custom coding or consistent outputs are required. Final Thoughts This episode isn't just about trends — it’s about future-proofing your business. Whether you’re a six-figure seller or just starting out, the takeaways are universal: use AI to think deeper, move faster, and protect smarter.

Inside the Agency Model: Pressure, Performance & the Power of Manus AI Part 3
In this brutally honest episode, Danny McMillan and Dorian dissect the realities of working in and with agencies. From client expectations to internal pressure, Danny opens with a stark insight: “You're taking on their pressure too — to turn the ship.” He reflects on how experience helps determine what truly works and what’s just “proven strategy nonsense.” The Pitfalls of the Big Agency Portfolio Dorian highlights a harsh truth about agency structure: “You’ll get the lowest experience manager assigned to your account. It just doesn’t matter to them.” Clients are often drawn in by flashy portfolios, but in reality, smaller accounts get junior staff and rarely the attention of top talent. Danny reinforces this, noting how agencies scale through SOPs and “sweatshop workers,” saying: “Two out of ten account managers might be elite — the rest are filler.” Software + Managed Services = Locked-In Mediocrity Software companies that bundle software with account management often fall short. Danny explains that many account managers are “demo people” turned strategists, lacking deep PPC knowledge or cross-platform experience. “They run out of strategies by month two.” The root issue? The system trains people for one tool, not the dynamics of diverse, real-world businesses. AI & Automation: The Accountant Case Study Shifting gears, Danny shares how automation is reshaping his internal team. Manual tasks are disappearing, he reallocates those team members to high-leverage roles like data validation, dashboard reporting, and performance benchmarking. “Efficiency shouldn’t equal job loss — it should mean more meaningful output.” Manus AI: Autonomous Power Tool or Overhyped Wrapper? One of the most compelling parts of the episode is Danny's deep dive into Manus AI. While it runs on Claude, he insists it’s far from just a wrapper: “Manus is like dealing with a human. It uses 30 native tools, runs its own checklists, and breaks down tasks autonomously.” Dorian explains how Manus scrapes, previews, and clicks through websites, operating with depth beyond ChatGPT. Danny recounts solving major business problems — from venue bookings to accounting automation — all in four days for just $240 in credits, declaring: “The ROI was absolutely fucking priceless.” Tool Talk: LM Studio vs. Manus Danny experiments with LM Studio, an offline local LLM platform. While it's promising for airplane-mode workflows, he admits it’s clunky compared to Manus. His final take? “Do you want to fiddle with open source to save a few pennies or use something that just works?”

Behind the Curtain of the Amazon Agency World I Part 2
In this powerful and brutally honest episode of Seller Sessions, Danny McMillan sits down with Dorian Gorski, a seasoned agency founder, to pull the curtain back on the gritty reality of running an Amazon agency in today's commoditized, AI-driven landscape. 🔥 Key Topics & Insights The Brutal Shift in the Agency Landscape Danny doesn't sugarcoat it: “I’d rather die than jump on Clown World on LinkedIn selling magical strategies.” He opens up about laying off half his agency team, not as a failure, but as a strategic pivot. "I helped get them placed in jobs – and we are working on new tech to compliment PPC and ranking " With the rise of AI and automation, old models are collapsing. Agencies that once thrived on manual work now face clients expecting more, for less. AI Is Not the Threat — Poor Strategy Is Dorian emphasizes that AI isn’t the enemy — misuse is: "If you use AI to make life better for you and your clients, you’re going to win." He notes his own agency now charges 30-40% less than four years ago, but delivers more, faster, and better. From Creative to Conversion Agency Dorian drops a game-changing perspective: “We’re no longer a creative agency — we’re a conversion agency.” It's not about fancy visuals anymore. The north star is results — better conversion rates and click-throughs. Every designer and copywriter on his team is in touch with the client, driven by data, not output. ⚖️ Honest Talk on Business Models Free Trials? A Trap. Danny warns about the lure of performance-only models: “The front end looks attractive, but on the back end, it’s Hunger Games.” These models cherry-pick winners, leaving a trail of burnt-out sellers with wasted time and broken campaigns. Why Reputation Matters “One client can take you on a journey you can't imagine,” says Dorian, encouraging agencies to focus on fewer, better-fit clients. He scaled down from 30 clients to just 5–6, with a leaner team and bigger impact. 💬 Insightful Quotes Danny: "Margins are being squeezed. It’s a bloodbath out there." Dorian: "As long as you deliver results at a good ROI, you’ve got nothing to worry about." Danny: “Anyone can get you to the top of the page. But if your product doesn’t convert, it’s worthless.” 🔚 Final Thoughts This is not a fluff piece. It’s a deep dive into the realities of running an Amazon agency in 2025 — where ethics, efficiency, and execution are the only things that matter. Whether you're a seller looking for an agency, or an agency leader yourself, this episode is a must-listen blueprint for surviving the AI and automation storm.

The Impact of AI on the Amazon Community I Part 1
The Impact of AI on the Amazon Community In this engaging and thought-provoking episode of Seller Sessions, Danny McMillan is joined by creative agency veteran Dorian Gorski for a candid conversation about the impact of AI on the creative industry. What starts as a warm-up for Dorian’s in-depth interview next week quickly transforms into an illuminating discussion on technology, artistry, and adaptation. ⚡ AI's Disruption in Design and Creativity Dorian opens up about the initial panic felt when AI tools began generating high-quality visuals. “I saw the output and thought, damn, I might be out of a job.” But rather than resisting, Dorian and his agency chose to embrace the wave, recognizing parallels with past revolutions like the advent of Photoshop or the shift from hand-drawing to digital. Danny draws powerful comparisons with the music industry: Musicians once dismissed electronic music as "not real." Then, those same musicians feared the internet (LimeWire) stealing their art. Now, the creators born in that era are pushing back against AI-generated tracks. 💡 Key Insight: "Innovation is taking the past and turning it into the future." – Danny McMillan 🔁 The Cycle of Resistance and Acceptance They explore how every generation resists the next wave, only to later adopt its practices. AI is no different. Whether it's visual design or music, Danny highlights how perception, pride, and personal investment often cloud judgment. Dorian poses a brilliant consumer test: “What if you discover your favorite new track is AI-generated?” Danny’s take: The consumer doesn’t care—music is emotion, not process. Only purists object. 📈 Leveling the Playing Field with AI Dorian highlights the true strength of AI isn't just design output—it’s in research and ideation. His team shifted focus from image generation to deeper audience analysis. What once took a team of 5 researchers can now be synthesized quickly through AI. Danny supports this with an excellent analogy: The floor has risen. Fiverr-quality work now looks significantly better thanks to AI. But those with domain expertise—like seasoned designers or copywriters—still outpace novices by leveraging AI to multiply their knowledge and creativity. 🎯 Final Takeaway This episode is a powerful reminder that while AI raises the quality baseline, true mastery comes from leveraging that power with experience and insight. Whether you're a designer, musician, or entrepreneur, resisting change ensures irrelevance—but embracing it wisely positions you at the forefront of innovation.
