What happens when a successful eCommerce entrepreneur decides to walk away from it all? After spending more than a decade building eCommerce brands and co-founding one of the industry's best-known communities, Mike Jackness made the surprising decision to leave it all behind and start again from scratch. In this episode, he shares why he stepped away, the personal and professional factors behind his decision, and what he learned from building an entirely new business around YouTube. Listen in to learn how Mike transformed a passion for Las Vegas into a thriving content business, what has been the biggest driver of YouTube growth, and the lessons eCommerce owners can apply to their own brands. You'll hear about the realities of running an Amazon business with shrinking margins, how audience feedback shaped his content strategy, the importance of building a personality-led brand, and why YouTube presents one of the biggest untapped opportunities for eCommerce businesses today.

What if getting stronger had less to do with motivation and more to do with building a routine that actually fits your life? In this episode, I'm sharing the practical lessons I have learned after nearly three years of consistent strength training. You'll discover why chasing the "perfect" workout is often the biggest obstacle to long-term success, how to create a sustainable routine around your schedule, and why small changes can lead to better consistency, productivity, and overall wellbeing. I'll also break down the workout structure that's worked best for me, explain how to balance variety with measurable progress, and share simple strategies for staying on track while travelling or juggling a busy family life. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to improve your energy, or simply trying to build healthier habits that stick, this episode offers realistic advice for creating a fitness routine you can maintain for years—not just weeks.

How can you build an eCommerce business that lasts for decades, not just the next algorithm update? In this episode, Edward Wimmer IV, co-founder of ROAD iD, shares how a near-fatal accident inspired a business that's now helped save lives while growing into a thriving eight-figure brand. You'll hear how he and his father started the company from a basement with two credit cards, why purpose has been the foundation of every decision they've made, and how staying focused on serving customers has created a business built for the long term. Edward also breaks down why word-of-mouth remains the most powerful marketing strategy in eCommerce, what drives repeat purchases, and why building genuine human connections beats relying solely on paid advertising. From creative packaging and storytelling to brand building, category creation, and scaling profitably with a low average order value, this episode is packed with practical lessons for entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that customers genuinely love.

How do you operate a business when things start to get tough? In this episode, Matt Snow, co-founder of Boredwalk.com, shares two hard-earned lessons from running a fast-growing eCommerce business with his wife. If you've struggled to delegate, scale operations, or find an integrator who can truly own the day-to-day, listen in to hear what worked, what didn't, and why relying on "good vibes" alone can be a costly mistake. Matt also opens up about the six-year journey to finally hiring the right operations leader after multiple failed attempts (including the exact hiring framework that changed everything) and the challenges his business faced after major Meta platform changes disrupted performance during an otherwise explosive growth period. You'll hear what happened behind the scenes, how attribution changes affected eCommerce brands, why advertisers became frustrated with Meta's lack of transparency, and how Matt is responding. Don't miss this candid look at the emotional side of entrepreneurship, including the stress, uncertainty, and loss of control that many founders experience but rarely discuss openly.

What really separates eight- and nine-figure eCommerce businesses from everyone else? Today, we are revisiting one of my favorite episodes from earlier this year, where I unpack the biggest takeaways from eComm Camp, our annual gathering of founders running 8-figure businesses. Looking back, these lessons feel just as relevant today, and I wanted to bring them back for anyone who missed them the first time around. Listen in to learn why I don't believe there are secret tactics behind eight- and nine-figure success, why the best founders stay closely connected to their businesses, and how long-term commitment creates a powerful competitive advantage. You'll also hear my thoughts on why community is becoming a genuine business asset, why getting into the right market early matters, and what is becoming one of the biggest drivers of sustainable growth.

If your eCommerce store shut down tomorrow, how long could you survive on everything else you've built? In this episode, Michael Jelliff, owner of Geekstands.com, reveals how he built one of the leanest, most profitable eCommerce operations around (an intentionally small, three-person team that throws off serious cash) and then did something most founders don't: pulled nearly all of it out and invested it elsewhere. Listen in as Mike shares the experience that shaped his entire financial philosophy, how he thinks about diversifying profits into both public and private markets, and why his passive investments now generate more income than his eCommerce business. You'll also hear his 12-year-old pricing formula that keeps him at a 99% in-stock rate, how he manages pricing across 11 marketplaces, and what he's weighing as he considers whether to sell the business entirely.

What does it take to build a manufacturing brand from scratch with your own machines, your own team, and your own two hands? In this episode, Liz Hilton, inventor, founder, and owner of Swaddelini, shares how she turned a sleepless night as a new mom into a US-made baby swaddle brand powered by 3D knit technology. Listen in as Liz shares the wild ride of going viral on TikTok, doubling capacity at the wrong time, and watching sales drop by nearly 50% before bouncing back stronger than ever. She unpacks eight months of traditional PR, firing her marketing agency over a disconnected Google Tag, and partnering with a programmer who now runs her paid ads with a custom attribution model she actually trusts. Plus, you'll get the story behind Holding Mother, her long-form documentary reframing the postpartum experience, and why she believes the best marketing is simply showing up for moms.

Is YouTube the most underrated paid channel for eCommerce brands right now? In this episode, I sit down with Brett Curry, founder of OMG Commerce, to break down exactly how seven- and eight-figure brands should be thinking about YouTube ads. Brett has been running YouTube campaigns for top D2C brands for years, and he reveals why YouTube looks terrible in most reporting tools… and why it's still absolutely worth the investment. Listen in as Brett goes deeper on what a winning YouTube ad actually looks like, why the homepage often outperforms the product page for cold traffic, and how creative fatigue on YouTube compares to Meta. You'll also hear his takes on Google Shopping and Amazon in 2026, why branded search spend may be costing you more than it's worth, and how OMG uses geo holdouts and incrementality testing to prove what's actually working and not just what looks good on a dashboard.
