  • Great content, But…

    I found the guests and content very informative and I look forward to each episode with such conflicting emotions. On the one hand I derive value from the guests’ stories but the price I pay having to listen to the host’s vocal fry drives me up the wall. So much so, that the last two episodes I cut short and found something else.

  • Shelter podcast

    Love all the shopify interviews but the shelter podcast (nov 2025) is an absolute standout- so much so that I searched the review tab - love the transparency, the clean beauty, low tox mission, goals etc etc - everything!!

  • Great guests, not the best hosts

    I feel bad writing this but the hosts are so boring. They don’t engage well with the guests, seem interested or even seem prepared for the interview. The editing needs help too. It’s so hard sitting through a podcast.

    Literally like oh my God, the worst host. Can’t stand her annoying voice. Also the music interspersed within the interviews is all weird. It’s like they’re trying to replicate how I built this, but it is just off.

How Fly By Jing Turned Chili Crisp Into an 8-Figure Brand
Q: What was the thinking behind launching at a higher price point in the Western market, and how did you handle resistance to that pricing?

How Fly By Jing Turned Chili Crisp Into an 8-Figure Brand
Q: How did the transition from running a restaurant to creating a product line come about, and what inspired you to move into a packaged food brand?

How Fly By Jing Turned Chili Crisp Into an 8-Figure Brand
Q: Take us into the world of chili crisps. When were you first introduced to it and what role did it play in your life growing up?
