I'm back in the trenches!

We sold one of our ecommerce brands back in 2019, and I've been itching to get involved in something again for quite some time.

Today, I'm excited to share with you my recent experience in buying a new ecommerce company.

Joining me for this episode are my good friends and business partners, Andrew Youderian and Bill D'Alessandro, whose insights are valuable to ecommerce newbies and experienced business owners alike.

Andrew is the Managing Partner of ECF Capital, which is tailored to helping small e-commerce businesses grow. He also hosts the awesome eCommerce Fuel Podcast.

Bill is the Founder and CEO of Elements Brands, which invests in brands with long-term potential and currently boasts a rich portfolio of consumer products companies.

In this episode, we dive into how this opportunity came about and all the hurdles we overcame to finally seal the deal. We also share a bunch of funny stories that you'll surely get a kick out of.
