  • Super informative and great questions

    I only learn from hearing people’s real stories and struggles with running a small business, so this podcast was a great find.

    Lots of different backgrounds and product lines, it’s interesting to hear how everyone’s Amazon journey varies, and how some problems seem universal.

    Great for aspiring entrepreneurs to business owners, and everyone in-between
