Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The rise of Vietnam as a manufacturing hub for e-commerce
Q: So Jim, how did you get into becoming a sourcing expert?
He describes a path from government and consulting work to founding Cosmo Sourcing after moving to Vietnam; his early hands-on factory visits and the interest in overseas living led him to build a specialized sourcing practice in Vietnam.
What most e-commerce brands miss in their P&L with Jeremy Horowitz
Q: What is the end game for a brand in this context?
The end game is ideally an exit; the conversation centers on how to build a healthy, scalable business that can be attractive to buyers, with a focus on cash flow, P&L discipline, and the right production model to sustain growth.
Mastering 3PLs the smart way with Matt Hertz
Q: What should brands specifically look for when choosing a 3PL?
Non-negotiables should be defined up front (delivery speed, returns processing, packaging customization, IT integration, and financial terms). Look for transparency, financial stability, and the ability to partner beyond basic logistics to support brand growth.
Mastering 3PLs the smart way with Matt Hertz
Q: Do you skip to the largest 3PLs to scale quickly, or should brands graduate more gradually?
Brands should evaluate fit for their current size and needs, aiming for a balance between scalability and intimacy with the partner. Start local, then graduate to more capable providers as requirements grow, ensuring IT, support, and flexibility keep pace.
Simplifying global expansion for e-commerce brands with Darwish Gani
Q: Can you give us a little background on yourself, what you did before OpenBorder, then maybe a high level in OpenBorder?
Darwish explains his path launching multiple brands and building a HoldCo to scale DTC brands internationally, which eventually led to OpenBorder. OpenBorder provides tax, duties, and regulatory compliance across global markets, enabling brands to transact with fewer local entities and more centralized, compliant infrastructure.
