In this episode, I’m giving you the real reason I hit pause on the podcast — and why I’m back with a clearer vision than ever.

Over the last few months, I’ve been deep in the trenches building brands, scaling my agency (Weavos), launching new products, and getting sharper as both an operator and a content creator.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever taken a step back to move forward — and for sellers who are serious about building a business that lasts.

• Why I rebranded the podcast from Selling on Amazon to Built for This

• What I've been up to lately

• How I’m approaching content, growth, and strategy differently going forward

• A quick update on tariffs

• What to expect from the show moving forward (and why it’s worth tuning in daily)

In this episode, I share a critical lesson we learned the hard way—why relying solely on past sales data to forecast inventory for seasonal products can be a big mistake.

For the first three years of our brand, we experienced consistent growth, fueled by marketing, new SKUs, and the surge in demand during COVID. But what we didn’t account for was the actual market demand beyond our own sales numbers.

I break down the risks of over-relying on historical data, how we adjusted our approach, and what you can do to avoid the same mistake.
