In this episode, we does something rare — I get to break down the real P&L of a $5 million DTC brand and show exactly how to think about cost of delivery, fixed overhead, and ad spend efficiency.

You’ll learn:

Why a brand with great product margins can still lose money

How in-house manufacturing + fulfillment can kill your profitability

When to cut salaries, outsource ops, and lean into paid acquisition

The framework I use to analyze any eCommerce P&L

If you run a 7–9 figure eCommerce business and want practical, honest insight into what’s really driving (or killing) profitability, this episode is a must-watch.

1:28 - Intro To A P&L

5:00 - Descriptions of a P&L
