In this exclusive workshop, I break down two wildly different founder journeys: Harsh (truck driver turned $26K/month beauty brand owner using 100% AI ads) and Joyce (corporate refugee turned $10K/month in 2 months with dropshipping). We expose their biggest blockers, reveal the exact CPO framework that 10X's conversion, and show why the path from $26K to $100K is about focus, not new products.

If you're new to this channel, my name is Sasha Karabut. I went from $137,000 in debt to building two 8-figure eCommerce brands. Through my company Ecom Capital, I've generated over $75 million in client revenue and helped 1000+ brands scale their businesses profitably.

This is the unfiltered conversation about what actually happened, why the investment made sense, and what specific insights are worth implementing immediately if you're building an ecommerce brand.

I paid $200,000 for one day in a boardroom with Alex Hormozi and 9 other founders. Here are the 10 lessons I extracted that could be worth millions to your business. This isn't a summary of his YouTube videos. This is what you see when you're in the room with one of the highest-performing entrepreneurs in the world for 12+ hours straight. The energy, the focus, the way his team operates, the specific frameworks he uses with each founder—this is the stuff that changes how you think about business entirely.
If you're serious about scaling, these 10 lessons will reshape your approach to almost everything you do.

What's stopping you from starting your ecommerce business? It's not money. It's not lack of opportunity. It's fear.

In this episode, Sasha and Hamen address every excuse, every doubt, every "what if" that keeps people paralyzed. They've heard them all. And they're calling you out on them. Because the truth is: these fears aren't real. They're just the result of not having knowledge, experience, or exposure to people who are actually doing it. This episode is about stripping away the doubt and replacing it with clarity. By the end, you'll understand exactly what's actually possible—and what's been holding you back.

In this brutally honest episode, Sasha and Hamen break down the harsh realities they've observed across nearly two decades of building and scaling ecommerce businesses. These aren't feel-good motivational talks. These are the specific mistakes that keep founders broke, stuck, and struggling for years longer than they need to. From time allocation to ignoring problems, from over-investing in stock to chasing shiny objects, this episode pulls back the curtain on what's actually killing your business. Some of these realities might sting. But understanding them could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of your life. Listen carefully—especially the last one about retention.

In this raw, unfiltered case study episode, Sasha and Hamen break down how they scaled one of their internal eCommerce brands from $4,000/month to $120,000+/month in just 12 months—while simultaneously increasing profitability from near-zero to $1,000-$2,000 per day in consistent daily profit. This is the exact same system they teach their communities, and it's a masterclass in identifying the right problems to solve in the right sequence. If you're spinning your wheels testing random ideas, changing your store every week, and never seeing real growth, this episode will completely rewire how you approach scaling. They tested hundreds of creatives, optimized ad spend, revamped their USP, and fixed three critical metrics that most founders ignore—and the results speak for themselves.
