In this episode, Jordan dives into a concept that big brands obsess over but most DTC brands ignore—tracking your lifecycle metrics, not just your revenue. He breaks down:
🔹 The 3 key lifecycle stages—Promotional, Customer, and Category—and why tracking them gives you a clearer picture of your business health.
🔹 How to spot margin erosion in your discounting strategy before it tanks your profits.
🔹 Why a growing revenue line can actually be a red flag—and what to look for instead.
If you’re serious about scaling your brand sustainably, this one’s a must-listen.
