“An overnight success is ten years in the making.” – Tom Clancy That quote completely sums up my journey as an entrepreneur. So much so that it’s inspired the title for my new podcast, Ten Years In The Making. My goal for the pod is to give entrepreneurs a blueprint on how to successfully build and scale a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business. The plan is to interview operating Founders of high-growth eCommerce companies, mainly in the Shopify Plus ecosystem, about how they got to where they are today, what their endgame is, and how YOU can model their success. In each interview, we’ll discuss origin stories, bootstrapping vs. VC funding, acquisition strategy, deal structure, and how to successfully lead an eCommerce business to a future exit. Take a few minutes to listen to this short introductory episode, where I explain why I’m starting this thing, what to expect, the format for the podcast, upcoming guests, and more.
