On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Chris Shipferling, Co-Founder of both South Col, an accelerator program that incubates retail business, and Global Wired Advisors, an eCommerce M&A firm that helps business owners sell their businesses. With the pandemic and recession happening hand-in-hand, Chris and his founding partners at Global Wired started to notice changes and slowdowns in the macro and micro-economic trends. Escala, a Tel-Aviv-based business consulting firm, presented the idea of incubating businesses to which later on, they created a joint venture and started South Col. With its name taken from Mt. Everest's final base camp and known to be a No Man's Land, South Col stands for the journey and hardships that businesses face, especially during a time of pandemic and recession. South Col provides that nudge to finally be at the top. With Escala's systematization and South Col's planning and strategics, retail businesses are “car-washed” to raise their value and create a better exit for its owners. It's an enlightening episode as you'd hear Kunle and Chris talk more about South Col's brand diligence, growth strategy, investment criteria, channel expansion, macro, and micro-economic trends, as well as different perspectives on the state of businesses during the pandemic and through a recession. ----------- SPONSORS: This episode is brought to you by: Klaviyo This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.

The journey of an entrepreneur is full of very high highs and very low lows. It requires a lot of sacrifices but it is also very rewarding. As Chris Shipferling shares with us in this episode, it is vital to find ways to overcome your fear of failure and push through the hard times to reach your full potential! About Chris Shipferling:Chris's career began in customer product sales, and he has held sales and digital marketing executive roles at a wide range of companies. Today he is the Managing Partner at Global Wired Advisors, a digital investment bank that focuses on optimizing the business sale process.Episode highlights: When you are building something with other people, or have a responsibility to others, they will help you mitigate “shiny object syndrome” which will keep you on track with your goals. (23:26) It's important to know what you are good at (and what you are less good at) so that you can plan from day one to replace yourself in certain areas of your business. (24:02) Keep pushing! You will go through very high highs and very low lows on your journey as an entrepreneur. There's a big difference between the low 7-figure stage and the low 8-figure stage, and it's worth it to push through the hard times. (26:16) If your business model isn't working, don't be afraid to pivot. Change isn't failure. (32:07) Successful entrepreneurship involves risk. If you are risk-averse, find a mentor who can help you overcome this so that you can reach your full potential. (32:32) Chris's best advice for entrepreneurs: “Push through. Push, push, push. Don't give up. If you've got the lows, fight through the lows. Know that where you've made it today, at that mid 6 figure to low 7 figure, is dramatically different from a financial perspective than having that mid 7 figures to low 8 figures. ” (31:00) From where you are now, it may be difficult to imagine how you are going to get to where you want to be, but don't give up!

From a University dorm room in 2008, Nater built the first multi-store grocery delivery platform in the PNW, which brought him to Amazon.com where he learned and experienced blowing up brands on the Amazon marketplace.

And after 10 years of experience, he brought all of his learnings into the creation of D8a Driven, a platform that drives profitable growth for brands on Amazon by executing a tailored strategy using Big Data. He is engaged to a Canadian entrepreneur, and they live a life of adventure based out of a travel van and between homes in the mountains of Seattle, WA and shores of Victoria, BC.
