As Benjamin Franklin famously said, “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” But for online business owners, taxes aren't always so certain, especially when it comes to sales tax. In this episode, we're joined by Jessica Rhoads. Jessica is an internationally experienced CPA and self-confessed “dumpster fire accountant” who specializes in helping business owners untangle messy tax situations. We cover the key types of taxes every entrepreneur should understand, and zoom in on the one that's most commonly misunderstood, and most likely to derail a future exit: sales tax. Jessica breaks down how sales tax applies to non-tangible goods like SaaS products and apps, what triggers a sales tax nexus, and why ignoring it can lead to massive headaches during due diligence. She also shares insight on the best and worst states to set up your business from a tax standpoint, when to file a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (VDA), and how to stay compliant if you're selling across borders. If you're building a business with the goal of selling one day, this episode is a must-listen. It could save you from tax troubles that scare off buyers, or cost you more than you bargained for.

Have you ever wondered how to pull off a team retreat that's actually fun, productive, and builds real connection? After years of trial and error, I've finally found a rhythm that works. In this episode, I break down exactly how we designed our recent team retreat in Mexico City, what made it a success, and some of the biggest mistakes I've made in the past (think: go-karts and back injuries). Listen in as I walk through our retreat schedule—from soaking in cliffside hot springs and taking a taco tour to having deep team conversations about AI and productivity. I talk about why your primary focus should not be productivity (even if that's tough as a founder), why food tours are criminally underrated, and how one cocktail mixing class turned into the most memorable night of the trip. I'll also share how I prep both myself and the team before the retreat, who I think should get an invite, and why renting an Airbnb beats hotel conference rooms every time.

Welcome to Future Commerce Rewind, where we compare stories in commerce today to episodes from the archives. This week, we're playing back VISIONS speaker Justin Breton's 2024 episode on Walmart Realm.When Walmart entered immersive digital experiences, it wasn't chasing hype—it was rethinking how the brand shows up in everyday digital life. In this rewind from August 2024, Justin Breton, Director of Brand Experiences, shares how Walmart Realm launched as a gamified marketplace blending culture, commerce, and creativity.Since then, Walmart has scaled its virtual ambitions with “Walmart Discovered” on Roblox, real-world commerce in gaming, and the debut of “Walmart Unlimited.” What began as an experiment is now central to Walmart's immersive commerce strategy.CTRL+ALT+CARTKey takeaways:Walmart Realm was never about conversions; it was about discovery. Today, Walmart's investments in platforms like Roblox and Spatial have validated that focus, with real-world commerce now integrated directly into those ecosystems.Justin avoided the term "metaverse," even when it was a buzzword. Instead, his team focused on familiarity and ritual, and that framing holds up. The strategy now connects digital shoppers with creators, brands, and immersive experiences they already love.Walmart has scaled its creator-driven experiences, including collaborations with Drew Barrymore and Netflix, helping drive co-created virtual spaces that reflect real-world partnerships.The early embrace of immersive storytelling now informs Walmart's content commerce and livestreaming efforts, with shoppable moments and branded narrative arcs that feel more like cultural touchpoints than retail plays.With new initiatives like Walmart Unlimited and its expanded Spatial footprint, Walmart is setting the stage for a generation of consumers who see shopping as play, story, and community.Justin joined the lineup of speakers at VISIONS Summit: NYC this summer.

Have you ever looked at your sales and thought, "Why is this STILL not working?" Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of posting non-stop on socials, throwing out the odd discount, tinkering with your website — and still not seeing the traction you were hoping for? Perhaps your marketing plan looks like this: “Post 3 reels this week. Do another giveaway. Drop 30% off sitewide. Oh, and light a candle and hope someone buys.” I call it the “Instagram Stories and a Prayer” method, and I see a lot of innovative brand founders getting stuck there! If your brand isn't like everyone else's, a cookie-cutter approach won't help you scale a high-converting, high-integrity brand that customers love to buy from — at full price, without needing constant promos. So in this episode, we're going to discuss the six biggest growth blockers that hold back eCommerce brands from growing, AND importantly, how to diagnose what's happening in your own business — so that you can fix it and get yourself back on track to achieving your goals!   Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/scale-my-ecommerce-store/id1496911739 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NLRaZh2ReX0Iy7met8HK6 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@scalemyecomstore  

Michael Simpson is a New Mexico-based father of seven and a National Guard veteran. Returning from a 2021 deployment, he sought a business to acquire, hoping to avoid his previous job. A listing from a brokerage caught his attention.Discount Catholic Products had launched in 2003 and was for sale. The company's mission appealed to Michael. Plus it was not reliant on Amazon or a single product or imports from China — all key requirements. He purchased the business.Fast forward to 2025, and the retailer perseveres. Michael's role has evolved to part-time oversight. A single employee, his sister-in-law, runs daily operations with help from his kids.In this conversation, he shares financing the acquisition, cash flow challenges, marketing tactics, and more.For an edited and condensed transcript with embedded audio, see: https://www.practicalecommerce.com/faith-family-and-ecommerceFor all condensed transcripts with audio, see: https://www.practicalecommerce.com/tag/podcastsListener reviews of Ecommerce Conversations elevate visibility and help others experience the lessons of online entrepreneurs.

The podcast discusses a transformative vision for building a managed services provider (MSP) that shifts away from traditional models focused on infrastructure management and reactive maintenance. Instead, it advocates for creating a tech services business that empowers small and mid-sized organizations to drive revenue through technology. The speaker emphasizes the importance of hiring empathetic, business-savvy individuals who can engage with clients on a human level, rather than relying solely on technical expertise. This new approach prioritizes emotional intelligence and relationship-building over conventional help desk support.The proposed team structure includes tech concierges who act as relationship managers, business process advisors who focus on optimizing client operations, automation specialists who streamline processes, and generalist troubleshooters who handle unique challenges. This model eliminates the traditional tiered support system, allowing for direct resolution or automation of issues. By humanizing the front-end interactions and automating backend processes, the MSP can deliver meaningful outcomes that genuinely benefit clients.Automation is positioned as a foundational element rather than just a feature, with the speaker advocating for the use of cloud-native management platforms and workflow automation tools. These technologies enable teams to focus on high-value advisory roles rather than mundane tasks. The podcast also highlights the potential of using AI to enhance team capabilities, making it a tool for amplifying human efforts rather than replacing them. This shift allows for a more efficient operation that prioritizes client relationships and business outcomes.Finally, the discussion touches on the financial aspects of running an MSP, emphasizing the importance of profitability over mere growth metrics. The speaker suggests that a lean team can effectively manage a smaller number of high-value clients, leading to sustainable business practices. The podcast concludes with advice on whether to build a new MSP from scratch or acquire an existing one, recommending a partnership approach to leverage complementary skills and enhance overall success in the industry.

Positionless marketing isn't just a framework—it's a return to how work once was: flexible, intuitive, and deeply human. In this episode, Phillip, Pini, and Optimove's VP of Product, Shai Frank, unpack how cultural mindset, military experience, and generative AI converge to create teams that move with speed and creativity.Listen to decode how technology and ambition together can strip away organizational friction, empower self-sufficient marketers, and dramatically improve customer experience. It's not about removing roles—it's about removing blockers.Key TakeawaysPositionless marketing is more cultural than structural. It's not about tearing down departments—it's about cultivating people who take initiative without waiting for permission. That mindset, modeled after Israeli military culture, is what truly drives speed and creativity."Big-headedness" is a feature, not a flaw. Shai introduces the idea of “big-headed” employees—those who embrace ambition without being told—as essential to modern teams. In fast-paced orgs, initiative is a strategic asset.Creative execution is no longer gated. With tools like Optimove's Canvas and embedded brand controls, marketers can produce polished, on-brand campaigns without relying entirely on designers or developers.CRM is shifting from broadcast to orchestration. Instead of blasting segments, marketers can now trigger context-aware journeys that consider history, behavior, and optimal timing—raising the bar for customer experience.AI isn't about acceleration alone—it's about ambition. When friction is removed from creative and technical processes, teams don't just move faster—they aim higher.Key Quotes“Being small-headed means you're just an order-taker. A big-headed person says, ‘You asked for A and B, but I saw it also needed C and D, so I did that—and prepped for E.' That's what we look for.” – Pini Yakuel“Who said the first message should be the one you send? We don't want to serve the first—we want to serve the best.” – Shai Frank“If it used to take eight weeks to get a campaign out, now it might take two days. That frees up time to actually be creative.” – Shai Frank“If you don't create good customer experiences, people will leave. This isn't a moral imperative—it's survival.” – Shai FrankAssociated Links:Learn more about Optimove's platformsLearn more about Positionless MarketingCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?
