On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Jim Huffman, CEO of GrowthHit, a growth company that helps companies and founders scale their D2C business with data-driven goals.

Being a boy good with math and numbers, naturally, Jim would end up in a finance career, working in a bank. However, he realized he wanted to be on the other side of the table–the businessmen. With his experience in finance and investments, he rerouted his journey to becoming a consultant for business and launching startups.

From practicing consulting on the side to becoming his full-time career, Jim started GrowthHit and helped about 100-plus eCommerce businesses grow their brands. Practicing what he preaches, Jim also has other two successful businesses. One is a startup called Handsome Chaos and a productivized service called One Day Design for Shopify sites.

This episode is especially exciting as Kunle and Jim talk about every angle on scaling a brand, from the design and funding to having the proper mindset to authenticity and trust. Business owners as well as startup founders will be inspired by Jim’s journey, ideas and tips.
