eCommerce Badassery

Debt can feel like a dirty word in the world of entrepreneurship. But the truth is, a lot of eCommerce business owners are carrying it, managing it, or ignoring it altogether… and it’s quietly sabotaging their profitability.

In this episode, we’re having a real talk about debt… what it looks like behind the scenes, how it affects your ability to grow, and how to finally get a handle on it. I’m sharing personal stories, lessons from fellow founders, and practical strategies to help you pay it down, consolidate it, and stop letting it steal your profit.

We’ll also talk about when using debt can actually be a smart business move, and how to know the difference between a helpful investment and a financial trap.

If you’ve ever carried a credit card balance, floated cash flow with Shopify Capital, or wondered whether that opening up that new credit card is actually a good idea… this one’s for you.

HR1, aka “The Big Beautiful Bill,” is now the law of the land...and it’s about to shake things up.

From ending the de minimis exemption on imports to looming tariff hikes and rising health insurance premiums, these changes will hit global sellers with US customers, US-based brands, and everyday citizens alike.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s locked in, what’s still up in the air, and exactly when you’ll start feeling the impact, so you can plan ahead instead of scrambling later.

What do you do when you can’t run ads, your social content gets buried, and you’re banned from the usual marketing playbook?

That was my reality at my previous day job. With multiple report cards and important eyes on my results, I had no choice but to make it work. 

In this episode, I'm sharing the top lessons I learned (or was reminded of) running a 7-figure eCommerce business. Lessons that still apply today, no matter what you sell or how long you’ve been in business.

Another Shopify Editions release just dropped, and while the new features look flashy, not all of them are worth your time. In this episode, we’re breaking down the updates that will actually move the needle for your store and which ones you can ignore without guilt.

What We Cover:

What Shopify’s new Theme Blocks architecture really means (and if you need to upgrade)

The power (and potential time-suck) of AI block generation inside the theme customizer

Why the new campaign tracking tool might be the most useful update of all

A behind-the-scenes look at multi-class discounts and the apps you’ll need to make them work

What to watch out for if you’re thinking about using Shopify Collective for dropshipping

How POS and Sidekick updates could impact in-person selling and customer service

Key Takeaway: Just because Shopify adds it, doesn’t mean you need to use it. Focus on the features that solve real problems in your business—and ignore the rest. Get strategic, not distracted.

Did you know? 60% of your Q4 sales will come from customers who engaged with you in the first half of the year.

While that's a huge percentage, there is still a lot of opportunity for you to acquire new customers in Q3 that can turn into repeat customers during the holiday season. 

But acquiring new customers isn't the only thing you'll want to focus on. You want to get those people onto your email list so you can continue to market them throughout the rest of the year. 

What does that take? An intentional email list-building strategy.
