    This week’s podcast episode features Neil Bannister, founder and marketing expert with 13 years of experience in marketing.

    He’s worked with eCommerce brands spending anywhere from $30K to $3M+ a month on ads.

    And he’s noticed something.

    The biggest bottleneck in a growing business is often the founder themselves.

    They stay busy, get caught up in day-to-day tasks, and avoid the work that actually moves the business forward.

    But scaling a business isn't just about spending more on ads or solving the next problem.

    It's about knowing where your time matters most, making better decisions, and building a team that can take ownership without relying on you for everything.

    In this episode, we break down:

    * Why founders get in their own way and use busyness to avoid what really matters
    * How to identify the tasks only you should be doing as a founder
    * Why fear-based decision making can quietly hold back growth
    * How to build a team that takes real responsibility and ownership
    * How AI is changing eCommerce and where founders can use it to create leverage

    Because building a great business isn't just about working harder.

    It's about becoming a better leader, building the right team, and learning to enjoy the process along the way.

  • How To Position Your Ecom Brand For BFCM [Q4 & Q5] | Wurqun Soltani | Ep.47
    Sep 27 2026

    Last time Wurqun was on, he was doing €2M a month selling orthopaedic footwear.

    Then he shut the store down.

    He closed it to go all in on something he could build publicly and stand behind proudly.

    He has had cluster headaches every day since he was 10.

    Electrolytes helped.

    But every powder tasted terrible.

    So he built what he believes is the first electrolyte lollipop in the world.

    In this week's podcast, Wurqun breaks down the story behind the product, his plans to launch with paid ads and an influencer army, and how he plans to take it into retail.

    And the lollipop isn't the real product.

    He's got it all mapped out, and in the podcast, he breaks it all down.

  • The Marketing Psychology Behind Million $ Ecom Brands | Joel Ringer | Ep.46
    Sep 13 2026

    In this week's podcast, Joel shares how he went from struggling with dropshipping to building a successful brand by doing something most e-commerce businesses never do, actually talking to their customers.

    Six months into dropshipping, he had nothing to show for it. Failure after failure. His ads would break even, only for him to lose the money back on the cost of goods.

    Then he found a pair of ugly clogs.

    They sold, but they never took off. Instead of guessing why, Joel started calling his customers one by one and asking them why they bought.

    The answer changed everything.

    Every single customer was a healthcare worker.

    He rebuilt the brand around nurses and made his first few hundred thousand in dropshipping.

    From there, he went deeper into marketing psychology, Eugene Schwartz, market sophistication, and the idea that you don't create desire—you channel it.

    We cover:

    • The exact question he asked customers that completely changed his business

    • Why desire cannot be created, only channelled, and what that means for your ads

    • How to build an argument for your product that can survive a level five market

    • The hair brand he built with a 4-million-follower influencer, why it capped, and the mistake he will never repeat

    • Why outsourcing your thinking to AI puts you on the same level as everyone else using it

    • The $3 AliExpress product outselling established brands—and the primal desire behind it

    If you're stuck at break even or running ads that almost work, you're probably solving the wrong problem.

    The problem is rarely the product. It's that you haven't spoken to the person buying it.

    This episode will completely change how you think about customers, marketing, and scaling an e-commerce brand.

  • $0 - $10M in 10 Months With A Beauty Brand | Mislav Beslic | Ep.45
    Jul 5 2026

    In this week's podcast, Mislav Beslic shares how he went from losing everything to building a $10M beauty brand in just 10 months.**

    At 25 years old, he had already hit $100K/month—then lost it all. Cease-and-desist letters. Frozen funds. Payment processors shut him down overnight. He was left with just $7K in the business account.

    What turned everything around wasn't a winning product. It was learning marketing properly.

    The skincare product he scaled to **$10M** is one of the most saturated products in ecommerce. He sold the exact same product by speaking to a different customer avatar, positioning the brand differently, and everything changed.

    We cover:

    • Why your product is almost never the reason you win—and what actually is

    • How he scaled one of the most saturated products in ecommerce from **$0 to $10M**

    • The avatar research method that turns customer feedback into winning marketing angles

    • Why 90% of his ads use people who don't exist—and how AI helped him outscale brands relying on traditional UGC

    • The payment processor mistake that wiped out his first business—and how to make sure it never happens to you

    • The shift that took him from **$100K/month** to building a **$10M** brand

    If you're still searching for a "winning product," you're probably solving the wrong problem.

    This episode will completely change how you think about scaling an ecommerce brand.

  • 23, Pro Footballer & Joga Founder | Zack Chislett | Ep.44
    Jun 21 2026

    This week’s podcast episode features professional footballer and ecommerce entrepreneur Zack Chislett.

    At just 23 years old, Zack is still playing professional football while building football brands that generate eight figures a year.

    It all started with an order of 2,000 mini shin pads from China stored in his bedroom.

    With little money and no prior ecommerce experience, Zack spent months posting 10 TikToks a day before anything started moving.

    Then he went viral.

    Now he runs @jogaglobal, @jogastarz, and @joga—having partnered with Samuel and Ruben Onuha, with the most recent brand (JOGA Bonito) in January already doing seven figures a month.

    What really separates Zack isn't the numbers.

    It's how he builds a brand competitors can't copy.

    Most people think branding is a nice website and logo.

    Zack proves it's so much more than that.

    In this episode, we break down the journey from selling shin pads in a bedroom to building an 8-figure football brand.

    We cover:

    * How Zack turned selling shin pads into an 8-figure brand
    * The MOAT framework that keeps competitors locked out
    * How to become a leader and align your team with your mission
    * The power of leveraging brand ambassadors

    This isn't theory or surface-level branding advice.

    It's a detailed insight into what it takes to build a brand that stands out in a competitive market.

    If you have an ecommerce store that makes money but doesn't feel like a brand yet, this episode will show you how to close the gap.

  • 22 & Making €2M/Month Dropshipping Orthopeadic Footwear | Wurqun Soltani | Ep.43
    Feb 22 2026

    In this week's podcast, I sat down with Wurqun - a 22-year-old doing 2 million a month in ecommerce, who only started this journey 2 years ago.

    From getting 25,000 into debt with credit cards while building a dropshipping store to generating 2M per month in revenue.

    What changed everything wasn't a viral product or a lucky campaign.

    It was the decision to stop testing random products, niche down, and build something real instead - a branded orthopedic footwear store.

    And to truly focus on one customer, understand their needs and speak their language.

    From there, everything compounded.

    In this episode, Wurqun breaks down his full journey and what he has learned so far.

    We cover:

    - Why he switched from general dropshipping to a branded approach
    - How he scaled to 2M/month by understanding his precise customer avatar and their needs
    - How to hire A players - and why EQ matters more than IQ in the selection process
    - How to organise workflow with your team and start working on the business, not in it
    - The new brand he just launched - and why he's already thinking about 10M in year one

    If you want to learn the step by step process behind building a successful branded dropshipping business, this one is a must watch.

  • 2 Ecom Exits, +142 Brands Scaled, 11 Yrs of Meta Ads Experience | Chris Erthel | Ep.42
    Feb 1 2026

    This week’s podcast episode is different. I had the chance to sit down with Meta marketing expert Chris Erthel.

    He’s helped over 142 ecommerce businesses scale their Meta advertising and has even consulted for mega-brands like Red Bull, Uniqlo, and Visa.

    For the past 11 years, Chris has done Meta ads.

    Obsessing over every detail, every test, every iteration that differentiates brands that struggle from brands that scale.

    What really separates him is his testing discipline.

    Most brands run a few tests and hope for the best.

    Chris has a system—documented in thousands of rows of data—that turns creative testing into predictable growth.

    In this episode, we break down 11 years of Meta advertising experience into one honest conversation.

    We cover:

    - Why most e-commerce brands are failing at Meta ads, and the one testing habit for you to master, that changes everything

    - The exact workshop framework Chris uses when Fortune 500 brands fly him out to fix their advertising

    - A counterintuitive landing page strategy that’s worked across dozens of brands (most people get this completely wrong)

    - The ad format that accidentally hit nearly 4× ROAS on what was supposed to be just a branding campaign

    - How to get the algorithm working for you instead of against you—and why most advertisers waste budget fighting it

    This isn’t theory or surface-level, general tactics.

    It’s a detailed insight into what it takes to build and operate at an elite ecom level.

    If you care about scaling ecommerce brands through Meta, this episode is a must-watch.

  • $5M/Month at 23: 8 Years of Dropshipping Knowledge in 59 Minutes | Difaino Harting | Ep.41
    Jan 18 2026

    In the latest episode of the podcast, I had the chance to sit down with Difaino – who’s now doing $5M per month in ecommerce at just 23 years old.

    But his story doesn’t start there.

    At 18, Difaino was €300,000 in debt.

    He grew up in a shelter home, raised on government support, with no financial safety net and no one coming to save him.

    Today, Difaino is known for building and scaling multiple high-performing ecom brands.

    What really separates him is how deeply he understands customer behavior – how people think when buying online and how to communicate with customers at the highest levels.

    In this episode, we break down 8 years of real dropshipping and brand-building experience into one raw, honest conversation.

    We cover:

    • How going from a shelter home and €300k in debt at 18 built the hunger you can’t fake

    • The mindset shifts and decision-making standards that took him to $5M/month by 23

    • Why most ecommerce brands fail because they don’t truly understand their customer

    • How Difaino builds new brands by speaking directly to people’s emotions, problems, and desires – not trends or surface-level tactics

    • The biggest mistakes beginners make when launching stores, and what actually matters early on

    • How to think long-term in ecommerce instead of chasing short-term wins that never last

    This isn’t a highlight-reel conversation.

    It’s a real look at what it takes to build brands, stay hungry, and operate at a high level when there’s no plan B.

    If you care about building real ecommerce businesses, this episode is a must-watch.
