In this episode, we dive into the frustrating realities of product development and debate the tricky balance of focusing on product design versus pushing the gas pedal on customer acquisition through organic content. We also brainstorm promotional ideas for upcoming local pop-up events and tackle the ultimate ecom founder question: would we ever sell our brands for a massive payout, and what would we do next? Finally, we wrap up by marveling at a hilariously simple viral website that managed to generate over $94,000 in just 48 hours - oh the wonderful world of selling online!
