  • #1053: "I've been in e-commerce since the 90s and it's never been this straightforward to succeed"
    Aug 21 2025

    On today’s episode we hear from an online seller who has been in e-commerce on and off since the mid 90s!

    He tried a lot of things that haven’t really amounted to much… until now!

    Perhaps the most powerful thing he shares today is the fact that, “the game has never been as easy as it is right now” from his perspective.

    He’s a big fan of the reselling strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training as well as the software that has completely systemized his approach to running a profitable Amazon business.

    “I run out of money way before I run out of great inventory to buy.”

    It’s amazing that we now have hundreds of episodes like this with successful students in our community! This is just the latest...

  • #1051: Ungating for brands and products on Amazon - let's keep it simple - A mini episode
    Aug 14 2025

    New sellers on Amazon run into a frustration that is very common. It’s the challenge of being gated from selling many of the great products, ASINs and brands that they otherwise would be excited to sell.

    Earning Amazon‘s trust is not as hard as some have made it out to be however.

  • #1050: The Eiffel Tower effect: Your business doesn’t start beautiful
    Aug 13 2025

    In this Coaches Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy tackle a truth that every Amazon seller, and every business owner, needs to hear: success doesn’t start out looking like success.

    Drawing on stories from their early days (including apartment prep chaos, failed inspections, and a very confused schnauzer named Rudy), they unpack why disorder is not a sign of failure; it’s proof you’re building.

    Using analogies from the Eiffel Tower to busy restaurant kitchens, they show you how to navigate setbacks without losing momentum, create systems in real time, and turn clunky repetitions into smooth, repeatable habits.

    Whether you’re facing your first IP complaint or just struggling to keep your prep space organized, this episode will remind you: the mess is part of the plan, and consistency will beat perfection every time.

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the realities of Amazon suspensions and reinstatements?"

  • #1046: Laid off, locked out, and all in: Mike Alte’s Amazon turnaround
    Aug 6 2025

    What happens when you lose your job in your fifties and the job market shuts its doors? For Mike Alte, the answer was resilience, resourcefulness, and a crash course in Amazon selling.

    In this episode, Coach Brian Olson sits down with Mike to talk about the emotional rollercoaster of starting over, the turning points in his business journey, and how storefront stalking and Keepa mastery helped him go from frustrated job-seeker to full-time e-commerce entrepreneur. Mike’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and that sometimes, failure really isn’t an option.

    Get ready for candid insights, rookie mistakes turned lessons, and practical tips you can use today to move your Amazon business forward.

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.
