Ever feel like your brain’s leaking out your ears after a few hours of learning Amazon?

That’s physics, not failure.

In this episode, Brian & Robin Joy unpack why your brain should feel overloaded at first and how to turn big, heavy concepts (“two-by-fours”) into light, manageable habits (“toothpicks”). You’ll learn the real reason overwhelm is part of the process and how repetition, not perfection, is what turns chaos into clarity.

 

In this conversation:

1. How to know when you’ve hit your “mental limit” (and why that’s a win, not a warning)

2. The two most common “two-by-fours” new sellers struggle to whittle down and how to spot them fast

3. Why mastering Pre-Flight and Bridging the Gap transforms your sourcing confidence overnight

4. What Trader Joe’s listings can teach you about risk, timing, and diversification

5. The counterintuitive reason Amazon’s increasing restrictions are actually protecting your future

 

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Are Walmart policies changing and maturing?"
