JCO PO author Dr. David R. Gandara at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, shares insights into his JCO PO article, “Plasma Proteome–Based Test for First-Line Treatment Selection in Metastatic Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer,” one of the Top Articles of 2024. Host Dr. Rafeh Naqash and Dr. Gandara discuss how the PROphet® blood test supports first-line immunotherapy treatment decisions for metastatic NSCLC patients. TRANSCRIPT  Dr. Rafeh Naqash: Hello and welcome to JCO Precision Oncology Conversations where we bring you engaging conversations with authors of clinically relevant and highly significant JCOPO articles. I'm your host, Dr. Rafeh Naqash, Podcast Editor for JCO Precision Oncology and Assistant Professor at the OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center at the University of Oklahoma.  Today, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by Dr. David R. Gandara, Professor of Medicine Emeritus, Co-Director of the Center for Experimental Therapeutics and Cancer and Senior Advisor to the Director at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and also the senior author of the JCO Precision Oncology article entitled “Plasma Proteome–Based Test for First-Line Treatment Selection in Metastatic Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer.” This was one of the top performing articles of 2024, which is one of the reasons why we wanted to bring it in for a podcast discussion. At the time of this recording, our guest's disclosures will be linked in the transcript.  David, it is an absolute pleasure to have you today. For somebody like you who's led the field of lung cancer over the years, I'm really excited that you are going to be talking to us about this very interesting article, especially given that I think you're one of the big proponents of liquid biopsies and plasma-based testing. So, for the sake of our listeners - which comprises of academic oncologists, community oncologists, trainees - could you tell us where the biomarker landscape for non-small cell lung cancer is currently, and then we can try to take a deeper dive into this article. Dr. David Gandar: Okay. Well, thank you, Rafeh. It's a pleasure to be with you here today. And I think the current landscape for biomarkers for immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer is a mess. There's no better way to describe it. That makes this paper describing a new plasma proteomic assay even more important. So I'll just give you a perspective. There are 14 trials, phase three trials, that were done in first line non-small cell lung cancer advanced stage of immunotherapy versus chemotherapy and some other aspects, although they vary tremendously. Some of them were checkpoint monotherapy, some combined with chemotherapy, some combined with CTLA-4 inhibitors and so forth. 12 out of the 14 were positive, 12 got FDA approval. So there are 12 different options that an oncologist could use. Some of them were squamous cell only, some non-squamous, some used PD-L1 as a biomarker driven part of the study. Some used TMB, tumor mutational burden, some were agnostic. So when you put all of this together, an oncologist can pick and choose among all these various regimens. And by and large, it's PD-L1 that is the therapeutic decision maker.  ASCO actually, I think, has done the very best job of making a guideline, and it's, as you well know, called a living guideline, it's dynamic. And it is much easier to interpret, for me and I think for oncologists, than some of the other guidelines. It's got a green light and a red light, it may be kind of orange. And so the green light means this is a strong recommendation by the guideline committee. The orange means it's weak. For this purpose, non-small cell lung cancer, advanced stage, only a very few of the recommendations were green. It's mainly monotherapy and patients with cancers with a PD-L1 over 50%. In our surveys, at our meetings, less than 50% of oncologists in the United States are following these guidelines. Why? Because they don't trust the biomarker. And TMB has the same sort of limitations. They're not bad biomarkers, they're incomplete. They're only looking at a part of the story. So that means we need a new biomarker. And this is one that, I think, the data are quite impressive and we'll discuss it more. Dr. Rafeh Naqash: Absolutely. Like you said, abundance of many therapy options, but not necessarily everything works the same in different subsets of PD-L1 positivity or different subsets of patients with different levels of tumor burden. And like you said, again, difficulty in trying to identify the right biomarker. And that's a nice segue to this PROphet test that you guys ran. So can you tell us a little bit about the plasma proteomic assay? Because to the best of my knowledge, there's not a lot of validated plasma proteomic assays. A lot has been done on the tumor tissue side as far as biomarkers are concerned, but not much on the blood side, except for maybe ctDNA MRD testing. So what was the background for trying to develop a plasma-based proteomic test? And then how did this idea of testing it in the lung cancer setting come into play? And then we can go into the patient population specifics, the cohort that you guys have. Dr. David Gandara: Okay. Well, of course there's a company behind this assay, it's called OncoHost, and I'm a consultant for them. And they came to me two years ago and they said, “We have something different from anyone else.” And they explained the science to me, as well as some other lung cancer experts here in the United States. I'm not a proteomic expert, of course, but they developed an AI machine learning platform to assess plasma proteins in normal people and in people with cancer, and specifically then in people with non-small cell lung cancer. They identified over 7,000 proteins that had cancer implications for therapy, for resistance, for prognosis, etc., and they categorized them based on the literature, TCGA data, etc., and used this machine learning process to figure out which proteins might be most specific for non-small cell lung cancer. And that's where they started. And so out of that 7,000 proteins, where they've identified which ones are angiogenic, which ones are involved with EMT or cell cycle or whatever it might be, they distilled it down to 388 proteins which they thought were worth testing in non-small cell lung cancer. And that's when I became involved.  They had a retrospective cohort of patients that had been treated with various immunotherapies. They looked at the analytic validation first, then applied it to this cohort. It looked good. Then they had a very large cohort, which they split, as you usually do with an assay, into a test set and then a validation set. For the test set, they wanted something more than a response. They wanted some indicator of long term benefit because that's where immunotherapy differentiates itself from chemotherapy and even targeted therapy. And so they picked PFS at 12 months. And I became involved at that point and it looked really good. I mean, if you look at the figures in the manuscript, the AUC is superb about their prediction and then what actually happened in the patient. And then in this paper, we applied it to a validation set of over 500 patients in a prospective trial, not randomized, it's called an observational trial. The investigator got to pick what they thought was the best therapy for that patient. And then in a blinded fashion, the proteomic assay experts did the analysis and applied it to the group.  And so what that means is some of the patients got chemotherapy alone, some got checkpoint immunotherapy monotherapy, some got in combination with chemotherapy. None of the patients in this study got a CTLA-4 inhibitor. That work is ongoing now. But what the study showed was that this assay can be used together with PD-L1 as what I would call a composite biomarker. You take the two together and it informs the oncologist about the meaning of that PD-L1. I'll give you an example. If that patient has a PD-L1 over 50% in their cancer and yet the PROphet test is negative, meaning less than 5 - it's a 0 to 10 scale - that patient for survival is better served by getting chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, if the PROphet test is positive and the PD-L1 is over 50%, then the survival curves really look equivalent. As I said earlier, even in that group of patients, a lot of oncologists are reluctant to give them monotherapy. So if you have a test and the same sort of example is true for PD-L1 0, that you can differentiate. So this can really help inform the oncologist about what direction to go. And of course then you use your clinical judgment, you look at what you think of as the aggressiveness of the tumor or their liver metastases, etc. So again, that's how this test is being used for non-small cell lung cancer. And maybe I'll stop there and then I'll come back and add some other points. Dr. Rafeh Naqash: I definitely like your analogy of this therapy de-escalation strategy. Like you mentioned for PD-L1 high where the PROphet test is negative, then perhaps you could just go with immunotherapy alone. In fact, interestingly enough, I was invited to a talk at SITC a couple of weeks back and this exact figure that you're referring to was one of the figures in my slide deck. And it happened by chance that I realized that we were doing a podcast on the same paper today.  So I guess from a provocative question standpoint, when you look at the PD-L1 high cohort in the subset where you didn't see a survival difference for chemo plus immunotherapy versus immunotherapy alone, do you think any element of that could have been influenced by the degree of PD-L1 positivity above 50%? Meaning could there have been a cohort that is, let's say PD-L1 75 and above, and that kind of skews the data because I know you've published on this yourself also where the higher the PD-L1 above 50%, like 90% PD-L1 positivity survival curves are much better than 50% to 89%. So could that have somehow played a role? Dr. David Gandara: The first thing to say is that PD-L1 and the PROphet score, there's very little overlap. I know that sounds surprising, but it's also true for tumor mutational burden. There's very little overlap. They're measuring different things. The PD-L1 is measuring a specific regulatory protein that is applicable to some patients, but not all. That's why even in almost all of the studies, people with PD-L1 0 could still have some survival benefit. But in this case they're independent. And not in this paper, but in other work done by this group, the PROphet group, they've shown that the PROphet score does not seem to correlate with super high PD-L1. So it's not like the cemiplimab data where if you have a PD-L1 of greater than 90%, then of course the patient does spectacularly with monotherapy. The other thing that's important here is they had a group of around a little less than 100 patients that got chemotherapy alone. The PROphet score is agnostic to chemotherapy. And so that means that you're not just looking at some prognostic factor. It's actually clinical utility on a predictive basis. Dr. Rafeh Naqash: I think those are very important points. I was on a podcast a couple of days back. I think there's a theme these days we're trying to do for JCO Precision Oncology, we're trying to do a few biomarker based podcasts, and the most recent one that we did was using a tissue transcriptome with ctDNA MRD and you mentioned the composite of the PD-L1 and the PROphet test and they use a composite of the tissue transcriptome. I believe they called it the VIGex test as well as MRD ctDNA. And when your ctDNA was negative at, I believe, the three month mark, those individuals had the highest inflamed VIGex test or highest infiltration of T cells, STING pathway, etc. So are there any thoughts of trying to add or correlate tissue based biomarkers or ctDNA based correlations as a further validation in this research with the company? Dr. David Gandara: Right. So there are many things that are being looked at, various composites looking at the commutations that might affect the efficacy of immunotherapy and how they correlate with profit positivity or negativity. And I'll just give the examples of STK11 and KEAP1. As you know, there's some controversy about whether these are for immunotherapy, whether they're more prognostic or predictive. I'm one of the co-authors among many in the recently published Nature paper by Dr. Skoulidis and the group at MD Anderson which report that for KEAP1 positive especially, but also SDK11 mutated getting immunotherapy, that that's where the CTLA-4 inhibitors actually play the greatest role. So realizing that this is still controversial, there are preliminary data, not published yet, that'll be presented at an upcoming meeting, looking at many of these other aspects, P53, SCK11, KEAP1, other aspects, TMB, that's actually already published, I think in one of their papers. So yes, there's lots of opportunities.  The other cool thing is that this isn't a test, it's a platform. And so that means that the OncoHost scientists have already said, “What if we look at this test, the assay in a group of patients with small cell lung cancer?” And so I just presented this as a poster at the world conference in San Diego. And it turns out if you look at the biology of small cell, where neither PD-L1 nor TMB seem to be very important, if you look at the biology of small cell and you form an assay, it only shares 44 proteins out of the 388 with non-small cell. It's a different biology. And when we applied that to a group of patients with small cell lung cancer, again it had really pretty impressive results, although still a fairly small number of patients. So we have a big phase three study that we're doing with a pharmaceutical company developing immunotherapy where we are prospectively placing the PROphet test in a small cell trial.  The platform can also be altered for other cancer types. And at AACR, Dr. Jarushka Naidoo presented really impressive data that you can modify the proteins and you can predict immunotherapy side effects. So this is not like a company that says, “We have one test that's great for everything.” You know how some companies say, “Our test, you can use it for everything.” This company is saying we can alter the protein structures using AI machine learning assisted process to do it and we can have a very informed assay in different tumor types and different situations. So to me, it's really exciting. Dr. Rafeh Naqash: Definitely to me, I think, combining the AI machine learning aspect with the possibility of finding or trying to find a composite biomarker using less invasive approaches such as plasma or blood, definitely checks a lot of boxes. And as you mentioned, trying to get it to prospective trials as an integral biomarker perhaps would be likely the next step. And hopefully we see some interesting, exciting results where we can try to match or stratify patients into optimal combination therapies based on this test.  So now to the next aspect of this discussion, David, which I'm really excited about. You've been a leader and a mentor to many. You've led ISLC and several other corporate group organizations, et cetera. Can you tell us, for the sake of all the listeners, junior investigators, trainees, what being a mentor has meant for you? How your career has started many years back and how it's evolved? And what are some of the things that you want to tell people for a successful and a more exciting career as you've led over the years? Dr. David Gandara: Well, thank you for the question. Mentoring is a very important part of my own career. I didn't have an institutional mentor when I was a junior investigator, but I had a lot of senior collaborators, very famous people that kind of took me under their wing and guided me. And I thought when I basically establish myself, I want to give back by being a mentor to other people. And you wouldn't believe the number of people that I'm even mentoring today. And some of them are not medical oncologists, they're surgeons, they're radiation oncologists, they're basic scientists. Because you don't have to be an expert in that person's field to be a mentor. It helps, but in other words, you can guide somebody in what are the decision making processes in your career. When is it time to move from this institution onward because you can't grow in the institution you're in, either because it's too big or it's too small? So I established a leadership academy in the Southwest Oncology Group, SWOG. I've led many mentoring courses, for instance, for ISLC, now for International Society Liquid Biopsy, where I'm the executive committee liaison for what's called The Young Committee. So ISLB Society, totally devoted to liquid biopsy, six years old now, we have a Young Committee that has a budget. They develop projects, they publish articles on their own, they do podcasts. So what I'm saying is those are all things that I think opens up opportunities. They're not waiting behind senior people, they are leading themselves.  We just, at our International Lung Cancer Congress, reestablished a fellows program where a group of fellows are invited to that Huntington beach meeting. It's now in its 25th year and we spend a day and a half with them, mentoring them on career building. I'll just give you my first, I have the “Letterman Top 10”. So my first recommendation is if all you have is lemons, make lemonade. And what I'm meaning is find what you can do at your institution if you're a junior person, what you can claim to be your own and make the very best of it. But then as you get further along in my recommendations, one of them is learn when to say ‘no'. Because as a junior investigator the biggest threat to your career is saying ‘yes' to everybody and then you become overwhelmed and you can't concentrate. So I'll stop there. But anyway, yes, mentoring is a big part of my life. Dr. Rafeh Naqash: Well, thank you, David. This is definitely something that I'm going to try to apply to my career as well. And this has been an absolute pleasure, especially with all the insights that you provided, not just on the scientific side but also on the personal career side and the mentorship side. And hopefully we'll see more of this work that you and other investigators have led and collaborated on. perhaps more interesting plasma based biomarkers. And hopefully some of that work will find its home in JCO Precision Oncology. Thank you again for joining us today. Dr. David Gandara: My pleasure.

31 Days to Become a Better Man   Take away: Having the discipline to live frugally, work hard, continuously invest in self-development, and keep perspective on what constitutes true abundance leads to financial freedom and a fulfilling life.   Money Learnings: As a young kid, Joel was attracted to toys and material things, but his parents repeatedly told him "we don't have money" when he wanted something. Despite their poverty, Joel's parents were extremely hardworking and frugal. They saved diligently and were able to buy a house within 3 years of arriving, paying it off fully within 7 years. Through experiences like these, Joel learned the value of money from a very young age. He saw his parents' discipline in saving every penny and spending frugally as they worked to improve their situation after arriving with nothing. This instilled a drive in Joel to start making and saving his own money, beginning entrepreneurial efforts as early as 4th grade.   Bio: Joel Gandara, a renowned life and business coach, is dedicated to empowering men to be the best versions of themselves. Through his unique coaching approach, he helps men achieve goals, unlock potential, and find true fulfillment in both personal and professional lives. With a wealth of experience and passion for sharing insights, Joel can guide you in improving relationships, career, health, and overall well-being.   Highlights from this episode: Powerful lessons on instilling the value of money and financial literacy in children from a young age through hands-on entrepreneurship. The importance of having open conversations about money, finances, and business within the family to demystify it. How facing harsh wake-up calls and hitting rock bottom can radically shift one's mindset towards making money the right way. The profound impact of taking dedicated time for introspection and personal development over a sustained period of time. Strategies for being intentional about cultivating deep, quality relationships and community. Timeless wisdom for living an abundant life that goes beyond just financial wealth. Practical tips for getting organized, managing time effectively, and measuring what matters to achieve goals.   Links:   https://31dailychallenges.com/     Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

From Struggle to Success: The Joel StoryA Journey from Cuba to Entrepreneurial TriumphI recently had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Joel, a South Florida native with a remarkable story of resilience and success. Today, I want to share with you the insights and life lessons from our conversation.The Early Years: A Leap of FaithJoel's journey began in the communist country of Cuba, where his family faced the harsh realities of a life without freedom. In search of a better future, they embarked on a perilous 12-hour boat ride to America during the Mariel boatlift of 1980. Joel's parents took a significant risk, but their courage laid the foundation for the incredible life that awaited them.Overcoming Adversity: The American DreamGrowing up in California, Joel faced the challenges of poverty and cultural assimilation. Despite these obstacles, he was determined to seize the opportunities his new home provided. His gratitude for being in the United States fueled his drive to succeed without making excuses.A Turnaround at 19: Hard Work Pays OffJoel candidly shared his early missteps, including getting arrested at 18 and 19. These experiences were pivotal, leading him to a decision that would change his life. At 19, he committed to working two full-time jobs, saving diligently, and by 22, he achieved his goal of buying a house. This accomplishment was a testament to his work ethic and determination.The Million-Dollar Milestone: A Lesson in FulfillmentOne of Joel's most significant achievements was reaching a net profit of $1 million with his business. While this milestone was emotionally significant, it also shifted his perspective on success. Joel realized that true fulfillment comes from internal growth and meaningful relationships, not just financial gains.Beyond Material Wealth: The Pursuit of HappinessJoel's story took an interesting turn when he sold his successful underwear business, which catered to a market he didn't personally resonate with. This decision allowed him to align his professional life with his true passions, emphasizing the importance of authenticity over material success.The Essence of Personal GrowthThroughout our conversation, Joel stressed the value of focusing on what truly matters in life. He warned against the pitfalls of chasing external validation and material possessions, advocating for a life centered on personal values and inner growth.Conclusion: The True Meaning of SuccessJoel's personal journey is a powerful reminder that success is not solely defined by what we own or achieve externally. It's about who we become, the relationships we nurture, and the lives we touch along the way. As men in 2024, we face unique challenges, but Joel's story inspires us to pursue a path of authenticity and meaningful fulfillment.Thank you for joining me on this episode of Uncensored Advice for Men. I hope Joel's story has inspired you as much as it has inspired me. Remember, it's not just about the destination; it's about the journey and the lessons we learn along the way.I hope this condensed blog post captures the essence of the podcast episode and provides valuable insights for your readers.

Existen historias de motivación y superación personal que nos abren la mente y que nos ayudan a creer que podemos conseguir todo lo que nos propongamos si luchamos por ello con convicción. Y esta historia es prueba de ello. Joel Gandara es el CEO y fundador de Morro Capital, una empresa de comercio electrónico con una cartera de más de 20 marcas en la categoría de ropa para hombres. Joel es también el fundador de Priority Fulfillment, un centro de preparación en Miami, y es el fundador de Rocket Ship, un software que automatiza la logística relacionada con el almacenamiento y envío de productos. Es también un destacado coach de negocios y ha ayudado a docenas de emprendedores a crecer sus compañías de una manera rentable.  La historia de nuestro invitado no fue fácil. Vino “de una familia pobre” de la cual no podía recibir la ayuda necesaria para desarrollarse laboral y profesionalmente. Pero eso no lo detuvo para lograr sus objetivos. Tras largas jornadas de trabajo, que lo llevaron a cumplir hasta 109 horas semanales, pudo comprar una casa en Los Ángeles. Alquiló una parte y retomó sus ahorros junto con el sueldo de su trabajo. Comenzó a vender en Ebay y se mudó a Miami. Pero no todo es tan a la ligera como se lee. Su inventario se quedaba constantemente sin stock por las exitosas ventas que tenía. “Contacté a un distribuidor de México que era el único que tenía la marca que yo vendía en Estados Unidos. Le hice una compra de 500 dólares con la tarjeta de crédito. El distribuidor me mandó unos 200 dólares de los productos. Lo llamo y me dice que sólo me mandaba eso y que ni me devolvía el resto. A pesar de que el banco me devolvió el dinero y me quedé con algunas piezas, no gané nada porque quería todos los productos y los vendí en una subasta en Ebay”, cuenta nuestro invitado. Se contactó personalmente con la empresa de México, hablo con el dueño de la marca y decidió comprarle directamente a él. “Vendí 2000 dólares de productos y a la semana le volví a comprar. Entonces decidimos aumentar el volumen, él bajarme el precio y llevar los productos a las ferias y tiendas, además de la página mía y Ebay. Tuvimos una relación durante nueve años y fui creando una base de datos, clientes por mayor, etc. Allí aprendí sobre la industria”, relata Joel.  Inicialmente, todas sus ventas pasaban por Ebay, hasta que luego de unos años dejó de vender directo al consumidor. “Después cambié ese modelo completamente, pero un buen tiempo, que fueron años, fue 100 por ciento a tiendas y la marca que representaba se encargaba de lo demás”, detalla, mientras que él mismo ponía el lugar de almacenamiento, que era su garaje, logrando así costos más bajos. Tiempo más tarde, comenzó a conseguir clientes buenos y tuvo que trasladar el inventario de su casa a su primer almacén pequeño. “Con eso comencé a captar la atención de las tiendas y me empezaron a contactar. De tener un almacén pequeño llegué a 1 millón de dólares en ventas el primer año. Llegamos a 100 mil dólares en ventas en un mes y eso fue lo máximo”, refiere Joel. “Con esa marca que estaba trayendo de México comencé a sentir un poco de presión, porque querían que el hijo del dueño tomara posesión de los clientes y del territorio en Europa, donde yo vivía en ese momento, y eso me empezó a dar miedo de perder todo. Y me di cuenta de algo… Este es el problema con vender algo o vender en Amazon, que es que cualquiera te lo quita”, advierte nuestro invitado. Por eso, Joel siempre recomienda tener una marca propia. “En ese momento no era dueño de esa marca ni de las otras con las que trabajaba. Entonces mi meta era ser dueño de la marca y de la tienda que lo vendiera”, remarca Joel. Y finalmente sucedió lo menos deseado: esa marca de México le dijo que ya no tenía el territorio de Europa ya que lo iba a tomar el hijo del dueño, y eso significó fue un gran golpe para Joel. Tras un período de decaimiento emocional, empezó a contactarse con los clientes que tenía y les preguntó si él les podía vender su propia marca y las respuestas fueron muy favorables. “Entonces empecé a buscar consejos de las personas que se dedicaban a la industria de ropa interior de hombres”, añade Joel. “Hice mi primera marca, la lancé y nos fue súper bien. En los primeros 13 meses se vendió 1 millón de dólares. Eso me dejó respirar al saber que si me quitaban lo de la empresa de México, por lo menos tenía lo mío”, narra nuestro invitado. Joel sintió más presión de aquella empresa de México, porque comenzaron a contactarse con sus clientes de Estados Unidos para venderles directamente ellos, pero “no sabían que todos le avisaron por email”. “Eso me hizo hacer una segunda marca y ahí me pude separar de esa gente de México y fue lo mejor que me pudo pasar, porque comencé a desarrollar mis propias marcas”, celebra. Pero lo que le cambió su vida fue que a uno de los clientes al que le vendía por mayor le compró su negocio, y logró ser dueño de la marca y de la tienda, su objetivo más deseado. “No quería abrir una tienda física, sino un website. En el segundo año hicimos más de 1 millón y ya habíamos comprado dos o tres más en la misma industria y empezamos a beneficiarnos de nuevo”, asegura Joel. Actualmente está trabajando con una fábrica y ya lleva casi 15 años de relación laboral. Son de Colombia y el 99 por ciento de lo que produce nuestro invitado sale del mismo lugar. “Prefiero ganar menos, pero tener la tranquilidad de que tengo a alguien fiel al lado”, destaca Joel. No es casualidad que Joel haya decidido abrirse en distintos nichos, y es porque ninguna de sus marcas “se puede meter en todo”. “Ahora estoy compitiendo con los de México, apareció un nuevo competidor y pensé que iba a llegarme sólo una tercera parte del mercado. Entonces decidimos hacer otra marca nueva idéntica a ese nuevo competidor, y esa marca que lanzamos hoy en día es mi mejor marca”, recalca. La clave de su éxito es tener un buen proceso dentro del negocio. “De los golpes aprendí que siempre es mejor tener un buen sistema. Todo producto nuevo tiene que hacer una evolución. Cada dos semanas llegan de Colombia a Miami pedidos de 10 mil a 30 mil piezas. Tengo los diseñadores de la ropa en Colombia que nos mandan los diseños que armaron cada dos o tres meses con las nuevas colecciones. Cuando los aprobamos, los pedimos. Nos llega de parte de ellos un Excel con todos los detalles de los productos por parte de su administración. Mandamos a hacer las fotos y los productos están listos para subirse a las plataformas. Si no funcionan, no los vendemos más, pero si funcionan hacemos pedidos cada semana. Entonces cada persona tiene un trabajito y así es el proceso”, enseña Joel. El nicho de la ropa se caracteriza por la copia constante de los productos. “Pudimos posicionar nuestro producto en la primera página copiando a las marcas que eran nuestra competencia y vendiendo a menor precio”, comenta Joel. Asimismo, compran páginas con clientes incorporados y que, a la vez, vienen con mucha data. “Así somos dueños del producto, la marca y el cliente. Cuando compras el producto de alguien y se lo vendes a una tienda ellos lo van a posicionar como se les dé la gana, yo prefiero tener ese control y saber que está funcionando”, opina Joel. Respecto a Priority Fulfillment y Rocket Ship, Joel buscó sistemas que pudieran controlar sus almacenes para despachar los productos para sus websites. “Entonces conseguí un equipo en la India que nos desarrolló un software para manejar nuestros almacenes. Me han pedido alquilar ese software y me asocie a dos especialistas y hoy ellos manejan lo que es Rocket Ship. Entonces tenemos el almacén que se llama Priority Fulfillment, recibimos productos de nuestras páginas pero también de otras que nos mandan sus productos, despachamos todo y usando nuestra tecnología. Y Rocket Ship es el resultado de una versión disponible para muchas personas. Ya se lanzó y se está probando en varios sitios”, remata Joel. Es el día de hoy que Joel continúa buscando su crecimiento profesional y personal, y así se lo inculca a sus propios hijos. De tener casi nada a llegar a armar negocios que superan el millón de dólares es la consecuencia de su perseverancia, relaciones sociales y el nunca dejar de aprender, un hecho inevitable para que nuestro negocio nos dé sus frutos del éxito.
