Ecommerce Paradise Podcast

Back in 2011 I was working a day job in Los Angeles, skateboarding on weekends, and had zero plans to build a business. This is the story of how I stumbled into high-ticket dropshipping, built my first store selling fixed gear bikes, scaled to $500K in sales, opened and closed a physical retail store, sold the business, took a year off to travel, and came back as a digital nomad. Real talk about the mistakes, the wins, and everything in between.Hey guys, Trevor here with Ecommerce Paradise.
