Brent and Tony are back for a long-awaited solo episode, pulling no punches as they finally open up about the entire saga of their multi-year plunge into Amazon FBA, from the jump to the scam, from sunk costs to soul-searching. 

This is the story of how two driven guys got scammed by a “done-for-you” Amazon service, spent nearly $200,000 trying to fix it, and somehow came out the other side wiser, rawer, and ready to make products that actually matter.

They cover:

• How they got pulled into the Amazon game
  

• Red flags they ignored and how the scam unfolded
  

• The brutal grind to salvage it with expert help
  

• Being attacked by hijackers and dealing with cursed accounts
  

• Letting it all go and pivoting toward a soul-first approach with a new brand focused on mushrooms, joy, and creativity
  

This isn’t just an e-com war story—it’s a wake-up call for any creator or entrepreneur trying to build something without heart.
