Happy New Year, Mavericks. In Episode 32, all three hosts are back together to kick off 2026 with a real talk recap of 2025: what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned after our first full Q4.

We dig into:

- FBM vs FBA in Q4, and why our sales bumps did (or didn’t) show up

- Setting realistic expectations vs. “lofty goals”

- PPC: agency vs DIY, and how to choose partners without getting sold a dream

- The hidden costs of scaling (VAs, software, bonds, ads) and how to think about them

- Our 2025 numbers and what we’re aiming for in 2026, including exclusive brand goals and seasonal product plays

-- Plot twist: Blake reveals something really interesting and has pics to prove it!

- We’re locking in goals for 2026 and coming back in 12 months to see who hit what. Buckle up, the Marketplace Mavericks are here for the full year.
