It happens to all of us.

About the EDGE's On Business End of the Week Show
Every Friday Danielle Jenkins, founder of Domestic Divas Cleaning Co, and I talk shop over coffee.
 
Danielle and I each run businesses doing millions in revenue each year with over fifty employees . We grab a coffee and pull back the curtain on our businesses.
 
We talk about what's working, what's not, what software and systems we use, sales and marketing, our own wellness and other challenges and solutions we've discovered running a business. 

It's a casual, honest conversation that you'll walk away with things you can use to run, market, increase your sales and build your business.
 
 Note: the first 7-10 minutes we usally catch up on current events, news and things that have happened over the last week and our reactions. Then we jump into the topic. 
 
 If you just want the core topic forward to around minute 8 and start listening.
 
 Episodes are recorded on Friday morning over coffee and published later Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

In a candid conversation Raine shares his entreprenuer journey, lessons learned from dealing with sourcing products in China, how he lost over $100,000 on bad products, how to not get caught with scammers, and how all that led to founding Zipfox.

About Raine Mahdi
Raine Mahdi CEO and Founder of the global sourcing platform ZIPFOX. He previously founded packaging import company, Hawk Packaging.

During his 10+ year career as a buyer, he spent countless hours searching for suppliers on China-based websites where you could never really tell what was real, or who was trustworthy.

Sending money overseas with no protection was absolutely nervewracking and even after months of research, it still felt like a gamble everytime - and it was!

After losing over $100,000 on bad products, and $20,000 to a scammer (who was listed as a “gold supplier”), Raine knew there needed to be a better way.

Raine founded ZIPFOX with the aim to offer the world’s best factories, a simple process that everyone can understand, quicker delivery times, and payment protection on every order
