In February I did a podcast about the upcoming tariffs and how resellers might pivot, if necessary, to keep their businesses thriving in spite of it all. Here we are in March and...the situation is pretty much exactly the same. In February I did almost nothing to react and my approach remains the same.

The big reactions and responses we should be having include doing everything we can to maintain democracy and fight dictatorship. Meantime, keep your business boring. Listen in for more.

What happened in Ottawa at the eBay Canada Entrepreneur Awards? The answer is...not much, and also a LOT. I wanted to tell a story about how great the trip was and all the people we met and all the fun we had but in reality the entire experience was extremely disappointing, from basically no eBay representatives actually being there, to traveling all the way across the country NOT to actually get the award, to being asked to send an invoice to get our prize...? (WTF) and so much more. Listen in for all the details and find out what we're doing next.

NEXT EPISODE: Shopify update. All about how I’m setting it up, more about the “why” of it, and what our early goals are for this site.

Fair warning, this podcast is a BIT of a rambler, lol! I was just too excited to share the news that we've won eBay Canada's Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2024.

Hooray! But this episode isn't all about us, it's about YOU - propping up the importance of what we all do as resellers and why it deserves to be recognized. We're all playing a little role in the circular economy and frankly I think we should all be getting a lot more fanfare!

I'm baaaacccccck! Today's episode is a short update on what's been going on with the business, why I took such a long break from the podcast (spoiler alert: it's a pretty lame reason), and what's coming up in future episodes. Plus a request for feedback!
