E515: Can You Ship Direct to Customers from China for Cheap?


Listen Later

Izzy Rosenzweig, the CEO of Portless, joins Mike on the podcast today to geek out over all things supply chain, and to talk about Portless; one of the biggest potential game changers in the DTC shipping industry.

No matter how rich you are, you'll always be running into issues with cash flow the longer you're running an ecommerce business.

Money gets tied up for weeks and up to months at a time while waiting for your inventory to reach local warehouses, but it doesn't have to be with Portless.

Izzy Rozensweig, the CEO of Portless, joins me in today's podcast to talk about how Portless was founded, how it operates, and how his game changer can be leveraged to improve your cash flow by multiples - not just by a few percent.
