“Is this a product people want? Is this a product people need? Or is this a product that qualifies as both?” — Richard Li.

In this intriguing chat, our own Max Hertan sits down with entrepreneurial genius and friend Richard Li to dissect Rich's path to success with TWO direct-to-consumer (DTC) companies: July (luggage) and Brosa (DTC furniture).

Rich grew July from $0 to $5 million in revenue in just 1 year; offers customers a 100-day trial and lifetime warranty, and ALWAYS meets his manufacturers in person.

Focusing on Rich's most profound DTC business learnings to date, here's what to expect:

— A brief chat about Rich’s story — coming to Australia; love of earning money, and learning from relationships with names like Groupon & eBay

— Unpacking business principles & company culture

— The right time to raise capital

— How to source the best products

— The keys to negotiating with manufacturers

— Why Rich still packs his own orders (occasionally)

Prototyping and designing

— Working with PR agencies

— The battle of Brand VS performance

Lowering Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) via unpaid marketing channels

— Keeping travel-focused audiences engaged and staying relevant during COVID19
