The Old eCom Model Is Dying. Here's What Replaces It in 2027
The next generation of successful eCommerce brands might not be the biggest ones. As advertising costs rise, margins tighten, and AI changes the way businesses operate, building a brand that lasts is becoming more important than simply building one that grows quickly. Today I'm riding solo to talk about the shift toward what I call craftsman brands: businesses built around products their owners genuinely care about, growth driven by word of mouth, and lean operations that can adapt over time. Listen in to learn why the old growth playbook is becoming harder to rely on, what makes a craftsman brand different, and how to build a business with greater depth and durability. I'll also share three questions worth asking about your own business as we navigate a rapidly changing space.

When Your Whole Team Disappears: Reviewing 7 Years of Summer Sabbaticals
Giving my team a month off every summer has become one of the most valuable things I do for the business. After around seven years of running our summer sabbatical, I'm sharing why I introduced it, how we structure the four weeks off, and the biggest lessons I've learned along the way. From helping the team recharge and improving retention to giving me space to audit the business and plan for the year ahead, there are some significant benefits… but it's not without its downsides. Listen in as I break down the practical challenges, including the cost, interrupted projects, and managing customer expectations while the team is offline. I also reflect on why I'm increasingly drawn to working in seasons, and how committing fully to a period of focused work or time away can help create a better balance between business growth, family, and adventure.

Leading Chisos Through a Hard Year
What happens when your ecommerce business is growing quickly, but the cash to keep it running starts to dry up? Will Roman, Founder and Chief Texan at Chisos, joins us to share how a period of more than 65% growth turned into a cash flow crunch when inventory shortages left the company unable to fulfil demand. He explains how extended manufacturing lead times, rising purchase orders and stock availability falling to just 31% forced the business to rethink its approach, cut advertising spend by 90% and introduce pre-orders to bring cash forward. Will also shares how AI is changing the way he runs Chisos, from modelling cash flow and organising decisions to improving operational workflows and creating email campaigns. He explains how AI tools have helped him dramatically increase his capacity, why human judgement still matters, and how the experience challenged him to rethink his relationship with work and business. Whether you're navigating a difficult period or looking for practical ways to use AI in your own operations, this conversation offers valuable lessons in cash flow management, resilience and running a growing ecommerce business.

Building an AI Brain in Less Than a Day
Building an AI-powered brain for your business doesn't have to take weeks of planning or complicated development. In this episode, I share how I built a system in less than a day that gives my team access to company knowledge, helps run weekly meetings, prioritizes tasks, finds relevant files, and keeps projects aligned with our long-term goals. I explain how to organize your business information, create instructions that help AI find what it needs, and connect tools like Google Drive, email, Slack, and Shopify to make everyday workflows more efficient. I also explore why keeping your AI's information up to date matters, how to separate shared company knowledge from private information, and what the future of coordinated AI agents could look like. In the second half, I share two personal finance mistakes involving my children's college savings and charitable stock donations, including lessons I learned about investment decisions and potential tax benefits.

You're Probably Losing Money on Your Ad Agency If…
Drawing on lessons shared by more than 1,000 seven- and eight-figure store owners inside the eCommerceFuel community, this episode explores why smaller brands may want to think twice before outsourcing their paid marketing. You'll learn how several store owners discovered that bringing advertising in-house improved profitability, why ad spend can be an important factor when deciding whether an agency makes financial sense, and how AI tools are making it easier for ecommerce operators to manage more of their marketing themselves. The episode also looks at a less obvious impact of AI on ecommerce teams. Rather than replacing large numbers of in-house employees, the examples shared from the community suggest that AI is often being used to make existing teams more productive, reduce software costs and rethink the role of agencies and consultants. You'll also hear about the AI tools being used to improve productivity, an ambitious redesign underway inside the eCommerceFuel community, and a surprising connection between financial knowledge and business margins.

I Asked Grok to Fact-Check 10 Years of My Tweets
Being wrong can be just as useful as being right, especially when you have a decade of predictions, opinions, and business lessons to look back on. In this episode, I revisit more than a decade of my own thinking to explore where I got things wrong, what changed my mind, and which ideas have held up over time. Listen in as I look back at why I underestimated paid traffic, expected more sellers to leave Amazon, and overestimated the potential of ChatGPT advertising. I also revisit the ideas I believe I got right, including the value of building smaller, trusted communities and creating a business that doesn't require the founder to be a superhero. You'll hear what these lessons have taught me about sustainable growth, long-term business ownership, and building a business you actually want to run for years to come.

I Was the Old Man in the Room. Here's What I Told Them
Building a great business and building a great life don't have to be competing goals, but keeping both on track for the long term takes more than simply working harder. As your business grows, the decisions that help you scale can also create new demands on your time, money, and attention. In this episode, I'm sharing the lessons I wish I could have given my younger self about building a business that supports the life you actually want to live. Drawing on a talk I recently gave to a group of young founders, I break down eight lessons for building a successful business without letting it consume everything else. Listen in to learn why mastering your finances should come first, how raising your prices can create significant leverage, why a small strike team can be more effective than a large organization, and why you still need trusted humans on your team. I also explain when to start taking money out of the business, how to stop comparing your path to other entrepreneurs, and how to stop moving the goalposts once you've reached enough.
