Private Label Product Differentiation Sucks – Sometimes – ALL80

This is FBA Allstars with Matt Ward, ground zero for building bigger, better, private label profits and expanding existing Amazon businesses. I’m aiming for a 7 figure exit from my Amazon brand at the end of year one – aim high, accomplish the incredible. That is the purpose behind FBA ALLSTARS, pushing to accomplish your goals. Throughout the podcast, we’ll walk through experiences and strategies building and automating Amazon and ecommerce businesses, interview experts, case study FBA sellers and chat about the inner workings of Matt’s Amazon business to help entrepreneurs and FBA sellers build sustainable, scalable private label businesses anywhere. Matt is not expert by any means,  a regular, full-time online entrepreneur taking advantage of white label, physical products and branding to build, scale and ultimately sell location independent Amazon driven businesses.

* The biggest threats to humanity’s existence
* How technology and humanity intertwine and co-evolve
* Why Jamais is pessimistic in the short term and optimistic in the long term
* Jamais’ thoughts on the cons of geo engineering

NOTE: A couple times Jamais references terms/concepts which popularly used yet politically charged like pink-collar jobs. He is in no way endorsing or a fan of gender-roles/stereotypes but just observing them in action.
