Lori is a spitfire of energy. Her small size is well covered by a Live her Life Her Way  attitude. This is a candid raw interview where tragedy comes in waves in Lori's life, but a strong will, a stronger Mom and tenacious put her head down attitude allows her to push through. Even when the pushing gets hard she stays on it. Love the attitude, Love the story!

When you speak with Ryan you quickly understand why he runs his experiments. He is a student for life who learns and has the skills to apply the new found knowledge, I love how he approaches his business: steady, focused and consistent. Great discussion about buying a product, inventory and its Shopify site. Great experiment that will lead to a strong line to bring to Amazon and other sales channels. Best part is it can be replicated.

When you talk with Paul you realize how humble he is. A great quality for sure, but he has figured out how to develop strong relationships and the value they bring his business. Now it's not a take only relationship (hence the humble), its a give without expectation and receive rewards from it. Being ready to help others magically helps Paul when he least expects it. Going to conferences and meetups and getting to know others on a personal level affords more chances to discuss business opportunities. You will run into deals that are too big for you to handle or too much cash to expose. That's when the relationships of others can make a win/win deal happen, then repeat.

I Love having Chris back on the show. Love hearing about his trips, his camping, his couch surfing, his family time. He has become an experience based seller. He makes each trip add value to his life and his wallet. Chris believes a good three day trip can clear out your mind.

The title might be confusing until EJ schools us on being prepared. By the way, he is only 30 and has it figured out. I love when intention meets success. Planning makes things happen. EJ and I discuss foundational principles of successful Amazon businesses and what a one year plan has allowed him to do or maybe not to do.

Funny in Randy's first interview we talked about a portfolio approach to inventory to take advantage of market timing but now we talk taking a portfolio approach to sourcing methods. Wow, oh wow. Again his past business experience allows new perspectives in ecommerce selling.

Randy's First interview

Amy's success is so well deserved. I hope you are recognizing patterns with the sellers I interview. They start down a path and narrow their focus, many times pivoting to adjust for the market changes outside of their control. Notice they do not give up, they adjust or adapt to overcome obstacles and challenges. Pay attention as we talk bundles. Great information from an expert.

Amy's first interview

Roger has a story to tell. He has seen some real challenges recently. What I took away from this interview is how you deal with these challenges is what takes you to new levels. When you can get past losing hope you grow. Roger has a strong message for those in the same situation. When heartache comes and it will come, rise up together and move on together. In Roger and his families case, Amazon FBA is allowing them to grow financially but also closer together. Great positive stuff!

Wow oh wow, we are talking big shipping. It's funny thinking about the items sold via ecommerce today. Furniture, appliances, and greenhouses! The logistics industry makes all feasible and possible today. Great story of finding a "B" plan to save the day. Understand he said it was serious, they lost almost all of their business until FBA! A great lesson we all need to heed, other companies will make changes in their best interest that will affect you good and bad. Not if, when.
