Today we just give you an update episode on how our businesses are doing. Mike is dealing with quality issues with his Chinese manufacturers. Grant is working on sourcing for Cuttingboard.com. Along with these issues we also share some of the bright spots of the businesses.

We discuss our plans for growing the businesses and what’s in the pipeline for both of us.  There are a few challenges facing each of our businesses today, but with the holiday season right around the corner for online stores, it’s time to get everything in order for the biggest time of the year.

The topics we covered today:

• Hiring the right virtual assistance.
• Dealing with customer service problems.
• Mike’s upcoming promotion for Color-It.
• Grant’s Chopping Blocks progress.
• Mike’s new website purchase.
• Icewraps’ move to Shopify.
• Grant and Mike’s friendly competition.
• An exclusive deal with Amazon.
