Today's Guest Wayne Richardson

Brian and Robin Joy handed an AI agent their FBA flight simulator with a thousand bucks and 26 weeks to build a business from scratch. No coaching. No frameworks. No hand-holding. What happened over those simulated weeks was so recognizable it was almost uncomfortable to watch.

Not because the AI did something weird. Because it did something deeply, unmistakably human. It ran its testing operation with discipline. It built real winners. Then it ran itself down to $6.24.

And when the 26 weeks were up, Flight Director Kranz delivered the verdict live. What he said should be on a sticky note above every seller's computer. This one's part experiment, part confession, part coaching session you didn't know you needed.

Brian and Robin Joy unpack what the experiment revealed and why "busy" and "profitable" are two completely different businesses.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What's an Amazon CSM review and is it a big deal?" Use coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!

Today's Guest: Trevor Niel

On Amazon, if you're a seller, you're either a reseller or you're selling your own brand. That's it, right?

Not so fast - there's an entirely new kind of reseller emerging and there's an important distinction to be made.

This NEW kind of reseller wants:

-lower risk decisions

-zero chance of going to deep on a bad ASIN

-higher margin opportunities

-software that does most of the heavy lifting

-an end to the constant dread of ASINs that die off

-no fear of gating issues

-true diversification of their catalog

-a business that can be scaled and ran by a tiny team without outside help

Reselling on Amazon is getting better because of TOOLS and STRATEGIES- and while the OLD way of "hunting for winners constantly" is still beautiful and serves many sellers quite well, the NEW way (aka 3PMercury) is so user friendly and low risk in comparison!

When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.

Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.

Today we meet a coaching student who has just had her first five figure sales month and she's thrilled by the rapid progress she's seeing as a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student. They are a foster family and her big "WHY" is to be able to be home and continue living out their calling to foster even more children (they've had 25 so far!)

The first several minutes of the episode are a compelling backstory as to why it means to much to her to have finally found a great business she can do from home and how much this community and our training has had a major impact on their family.

Today's guest Amy Tofaute

Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student just quit his corporate job right as we recorded this episode. He had enjoyed a 27 year career at an executive level, but the prospect of being home building his own ecommerce business offered far more reward and a better lifestyle as well - so he's jumped in to being full-time online!

In 2025 he enjoyed $700K in sales at a whopping 21% net profit WHILE holding down his corporate career - and now that he's just gone full-time on Amazon, the future is VERY bright!
