PREVIEW. China's Campaign Against Pessimism: Growing Private Discontent and Severe Censorship. Charles Burton discusses how China has launched a campaign to discourage people from being pessimistic on social media, utilizing severe censorship. However, this forces unhappiness into private settings—friends and family—where frustration grows. Burton notes that profound discontent exists against Xi Jinping, partly because declaring himself "emperor for life" removed the hope of a better alternative. 1906

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework What happens when a young architect trades a steady paycheck for a risky first project—with no guarantee of success? In this bold episode, Baker Roddey reveals how he navigated real estate rules, raised unexpected funding, and turned one deal into a springboard for his firm. But it wasn't easy—and what he shares will challenge your ideas of what it really takes to grow. You'll hear how strategy, sales, and sheer nerve played a role—but not in the ways you might expect. Baker opens up about the invisible barriers architects face, and how he learned to move through them without burning bridges (or cash). His story isn't just smart—it's surprisingly spiritual. Whether you're just starting out or ready to rewrite your path, this conversation holds insights worth stealing. The quiet financial tactic no architect is taught in school—but should be. How one phone call (and a mindset shift) unlocked the deal that changed everything. The one "soft skill" Baker used to raise five figures… without pitching like a bro.

Launched on November 11th 2021, just three months before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Kyiv Independent (KI) is four years old tomorrow. The award-winning English-language media outlet covers Ukraine and Eastern Europe for the rest of the world, and is celebrating its birthday with a campaign designed to boost its membership from 22,000 to 25,000 by the end of the year. This week's guest is the Kyiv Independent's Chief Operations Officer Zakhar Protsiuk. KI has reporters on the frontline of the war and an investigations unit covering Russian war crimes, but also covers Ukrainian business, culture and even travel. What struck Peter this week in speaking with Zakhar, is how focused he was on what we might consider the normal elements of building a media business. Of course we spoke about the war, but we spoke just as much about audience acquisition and retention, trust and churn.  Listen now to hear Kyiv Independent's origin story, whether it's possible to separate everyday media operations from the impacts of Russia's invasion, revenue diversification, and the brand's shift from donations to a membership model.

Phil Rosenthal is the award-winning creator, executive producer, and host of "Somebody Feed Phil," as well as a two-time New York Times Best Selling Author and soon-to-be restaurant owner. "Somebody Feed Phil" – one of Netflix's most popular food and travel shows – has garnered a cult-like following and released its eighth season on June 18th in 190 countries. The Emmy-nominated series is Netflix's longest unscripted series and combines Rosenthal's love of food and travel with his unique brand of humor and has become must-see TV for foodies, restaurateurs, travelers, and armchair enthusiasts all over the world. Rosenthal has been nominated for a 2024 Critics' Choice Real TV Award, after winning Critics Choice Real TV Awards in 2022 and 2021 for "Best Travel/Adventure Show" and "Male Star of the Year" on behalf of the series. He also garnered a 2022 James Beard Award nomination for "Visual Media—Long Form." Currently, Rosenthal has embarked on his highly anticipated third US live tour –  An Evening With Phil Rosenthal "Of Somebody Feed Phil" – in over 25 North American cities August-October 2025. On tour, Rosenthal shares insights into his 40-year entertainment career, while incorporating his love of food, storytelling, and humor to audiences. He also invites special guests to be moderators on stage, ranging from local celebrities to famous chefs. The North American tour comes after his second European tour, which was received with resounding praise from fans across Europe. Up next, Rosenthal will also make a significant mark in the culinary world with the 2025 opening of his diner, Max & Helen's, in Los Angeles. Named after his parents, who were beloved series regulars in "Somebody Feed Phil," the dishes will not only be elevated by great ingredients but the brilliance of Executive Chef Nancy Silverton. Following a resounding call from fans, Rosenthal created a companion book to the series, "Somebody Feed Phil The Book" which was released in the US on October 20th, 2022, via Simon Element (an imprint of Simon & Schuster). It immediately landed on the New York Times Best Seller list, which then led to a UK release in January 2023 and a multi-country tour selling out venues across the globe. To expand on this, Rosenthal is set to release a second cookbook in the series, "Phil's Favorites," available for pre-order now and releasing on November 4th, 2025 in the US and November 6th in the UK.  It is more than just a cookbook; it's a celebration of food, family, and friendship incorporating recipes from his family and friends including Judy Gold and Anna Romano. In 2024, he released his first children's book, "JUST TRY IT: A Phil and Lil Book," co-written with his daughter, Lily on March 5, 2024. The hilarious children's picture book about a food-loving dad encouraging his picky eater daughter to just try something new. This once again put Rosenthal on the New York Times Best Seller list, leading to his second national book and live tour, both of which packed bookstores and theatres from coast to coast, including a sold-out crowd at The Beacon in New York City. Up next, they will launch its companion book, "JUST TRY IT: SOMEPLACE NEW!," about an encouraging dad easing his daughter's worries about staying at Grandma's for the first time. Rosenthal has further expanded his love of humor, food, and human connection through a podcast called "Naked Lunch." Launched in May 2022, his podcast is live on Stitcher, SiriusXM's mobile app, and wherever podcasts are available. Co-hosted with his friend and longtime Rolling Stone journalist David Wild, each episode of this weekly talk-show podcast features a special, world-renowned guest to discuss what's going on in their lives – "an informal meeting of wits, minds and hearts" – while eating lunch from some of Phil's favorite local LA eateries.  In 1995, Rosenthal created the hit CBS comedy "Everybody Loves Raymond" which premiered the following year. He served as the showrunner and executive producer for all nine years of the show's very successful run, which ended in 2005. During its original run, the show was nominated for over 70 Emmy Awards, and won 15 awards, including two for "Best Comedy Series" in 2003 and 2005. Rosenthal won the 2002 Writers Guild Award for "Excellence in Television Writing" for his "Italy" script. After the series wrapped, Rosenthal penned a book on the art of comedy and the making of a sitcom classic. YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE FUNNY: HOW LIFE BECOMES A SITCOM was published in 2007 via Penguin Publishing Group. His early writing credits include the comedy series "DOWN THE SHORE" and "Coach." Rosenthal also co-wrote "America: A Tribute to Heroes," the 9/11 telethon which aired on all four networks in September 2001, for which he won a Peabody Award and an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Writing." Rosenthal then went on to write, direct, and star in his first feature film for Sony Pictures. EXPORTING RAYMOND, the true story about the attempt to turn "Everybody Loves Raymond" into a Russian sitcom, was met with critical acclaim upon its release in October 2010. In 2015, Rosenthal embarked on a new journey by creating his first travel food series "I'll Have What Phil's Having." This PBS documentary series, which is the precursor to "Somebody Feed Phil," received two Taste Awards and won the 2016 James Beard Award for "Best Television Program, on Location." In October 2020, Rosenthal launched Somebody Feed the People, an initiative of the Rosenthal Family Foundation that supports organizations making an impact and building community through food. This inclusive and non-partisan initiative partners with organizations across the U.S. that address food access and insecurity, support chefs and restaurant workers, create employment pathways, and strengthen the health of our food systems. This foundation is ongoing yearly. Rosenthal continued his philanthropic efforts in 2022, serving alongside Katie Couric and Jeff MacGregor as an executive producer of the documentary FOR LOVE AND LIFE: NO ORDINARY CAMPAIGN. The film follows Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya, a couple battling ALS and leading a revolutionary movement to help victims of the disease around the world. "For Love and Life" went on to win awards at the SXSW Film Festival, the Chicago International Film Festival, and the Virginia Film Festival.  We chat about executives trying to sabotage him, writing what you want, gratitude, Somebody Feed Phil, Everybody Loves Raymond and almost quitting twice, writing, crazy story as a security guard, creating your own ticket plus plenty more!

The internal investigation by Victoria's Secret's parent company, L Brands, was launched after the resurfacing of longstanding ties between billionaire founder Les Wexner and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In July 2019 the board retained outside counsel to determine what role, if any, Epstein had within the company—despite L Brands stating that Epstein was “never employed by nor served as an authorized representative of the company.”The inquiry aimed to clarify whether Epstein's influence extended beyond his position as Wexner's personal money manager, including allegations that he posed as a talent scout for Victoria's Secret and might have leveraged access to young models. Former employees and journalists raised concerns that Epstein misrepresented his role, and that red flags from the 1990s went unaddressed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

4. The Failure of the Soviet Zond Program and the Decision to Gamble on Apollo 8. Bob Zimmerman discusses the fierce moon race with the Soviet Union's Roscosmos, which utilized the Zond capsule for circumlunar missions. Zond 5 and 6, launched in late 1968, suffered critical failures (guidance system and atmosphere loss, respectively), forcing the Soviets to cancel their planned manned December flight. Watching this, NASA manager George Low realized the Lunar Module (LM) for Apollo 8 was behind schedule. To maintain the initiative and potentially win the space race, Low and Sam Phillips made the aggressive decision to send Apollo 8 to the moon without the LM "lifeboat." They informed NASA boss James Webb after the decision was finalized. Webb, though initially upset, accepted the decision, betting that the engineering was sound enough to risk the mission in order to prove the US was superior. 1965 APOLLO 1

3. Launch Mechanics, Primitive Technology, and Trans Lunar Injection. Bob Zimmerman discusses how Apollo 8 launched on December 21, 1968, the first day of its window, following a smooth ride on the powerful Saturn 5 rocket. Engineers had mitigated the "pogo" vibration effects that plagued earlier test flights. After one Earth orbit to verify systems, they performed the Trans Lunar Injection (TLI), firing the upper stage Saturn engines to accelerate toward the moon. This moment marked the first time humans were visibly leaving Earth orbit, an experience Jim Lovell described as the Earth shrinking rapidly, like the exit of a tunnel. The Apollo capsule's onboard computer system was highly primitive, inferior to a simple digital watch calculator. Astronauts had to manually enter long strings of numbers dictated by ground control to execute maneuvers, although Borman maintained the use of a manual override for absolute precision. 1966 APOLLO 1

Becoming a successful entrepreneur and maintaining success in a startup business has its own unique set of systemic and structural challenges. Many of those challenges start well before the hunt for investors and developers begins. Often, the toughest barriers can be found in simply trying to meet basic needs for themselves, or their families. Access to food, wraparound services, and community health can make a significant difference at the start of any entrepreneurial endeavor. Add to this, access to education, key resources, technology, and quality mentorship can truly make the difference between an idea launched, or shelved.

Bureau of Meteorology Removes 'Black' Warning Scale Amid Severe Storms. Jeremy Zakis discusses how the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) launched a confusing new website during one of the Eastern Coast's worst storm seasons. They controversially removed the color "black" from the weather radar scale, which previously denoted the most severe weather, including heavy hail and flooding. When a major Queensland storm hit with only "red" warnings, people were unprepared, resulting in extensive property damage. Meanwhile, Queensland is facing highly unstable conditions, including rare reported water spouts and a tornado watch along the coastline.

Martin Luther was a passionate, soul-searching, truth-seeking Catholic monk who could never feel right with God. Because of the rigors of monastic life, he confessed he went through, “such anguish as no pen can describe.” But then the glorious day came when God spoke to him profoundly from Romans 1:17—“THE JUST shall live by faith”—and everything changed. Yes, this simple four-letter name for God's people launched the Reformation and the impact is still being felt.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.

Airport Schiphol looked like a picturesque scene.Nl: Binnen in de terminal krioelden reizigers, sommigen verkleed in Halloween-kostuums, terwijl buiten de bladeren wilden dwarrelden in de wind.En: Inside the terminal, travelers bustled about, some dressed in Halloween costumes, while outside the leaves danced wildly in the wind.Nl: De luchthaventerminal was een mengelmoes van levendigheid en technologie.En: The airport terminal was a mix of liveliness and technology.Nl: Sanne stond midden in die drukte, haar hand stevig om haar rolkoffer geklemd.En: Sanne stood in the middle of that bustle, her hand tightly gripping her rolling suitcase.Nl: Ze was nerveus.En: She was nervous.Nl: Haar maag draaide zich om bij de gedachte aan de vlucht naar Londen, waar ze een belangrijke presentatie zou geven.En: Her stomach churned at the thought of the flight to London, where she was to give an important presentation.Nl: Sanne was een grafisch ontwerper, creatief maar altijd met een zekere argwaan.En: Sanne was a graphic designer, creative but always with a certain wariness.Nl: Ze had een hekel aan vliegen en hoopte dat de vlucht vlot zou verlopen.En: She hated flying and hoped the flight would go smoothly.Nl: Maar het lot had andere plannen.En: But fate had other plans.Nl: Terwijl Sanne zich klaarmaakte bij de gate, voelde ze plotseling haar huid tintelen en haar keel opzwellen.En: As Sanne prepared at the gate, she suddenly felt her skin tingle and her throat swell.Nl: Een ernstige allergische reactie overviel haar.En: A severe allergic reaction overcame her.Nl: Paniek sloeg toe.En: Panic set in.Nl: Het zweet brak haar uit terwijl ze naar de dichtstbijzijnde medische post strompelde.En: Sweat broke out as she stumbled toward the nearest medical station.Nl: Ze wist dat ze risico nam door niet meteen aan boord te gaan, maar ze had geen keus.En: She knew she was taking a risk by not boarding immediately, but she had no choice.Nl: Verder vliegen was onmogelijk in deze toestand.En: Continuing the flight was impossible in this condition.Nl: In de medische post stelden de artsen haar gerust, maar ze waarschuwden dat ze moest wachten tot de symptomen onder controle waren.En: At the medical station, doctors reassured her, but warned that she had to wait until the symptoms were under control.Nl: Met een bonzend hart belde Sanne Bram, haar collega in Londen.En: With a pounding heart, Sanne called Bram, her colleague in London.Nl: Ze had hem nodig.En: She needed him.Nl: Haar presentatie zou niet op tijd gehaald worden en ze moest hulp inschakelen.En: Her presentation would not be on time, and she had to enlist help.Nl: “Bram, ik zit vast op Schiphol,” stamelde Sanne.En: “Bram, I'm stuck at Schiphol,” Sanne stammered.Nl: “Kun jij voor mij inspringen?En: “Can you fill in for me?Nl: Ik stuur de presentatie door via video.” Bram begreep snel de ernst van de situatie.En: I'll send the presentation via video.” Bram quickly understood the seriousness of the situation.Nl: "Natuurlijk, maak je geen zorgen.En: "Of course, don't worry.Nl: We regelen het," antwoordde hij met een geruststellende stem.En: We'll manage," he replied in a reassuring voice.Nl: Sanne voelde zich iets kalmer worden terwijl ze de presentatie voorbereidde en doorstuurde.En: Sanne felt a bit calmer as she prepared and sent the presentation.Nl: Uren leken voorbij te kruipen terwijl Sanne herstelde, en toen het medische team haar eindelijk toestond om te vliegen, was de spanning niet verdwenen.En: Hours seemed to crawl by as Sanne recovered, and when the medical team finally allowed her to fly, the tension hadn't disappeared.Nl: Ze pakte de volgende vlucht naar Londen met een nieuwe vastberadenheid.En: She took the next flight to London with renewed determination.Nl: Eenmaal ter plaatse ontdekte ze tot haar verbazing dat de presentatie een groot succes was geweest.En: Once there, she discovered, to her amazement, that the presentation had been a great success.Nl: Bram had uitstekend werk geleverd.En: Bram had done an excellent job.Nl: Sanne's zelfvertrouwen groeide.En: Sanne's confidence grew.Nl: Ze besefte dat het vertrouwen op anderen niet alleen noodzakelijk was, maar ook onverwachte deuren opende.En: She realized that relying on others was not only necessary but also opened unexpected doors.Nl: De ervaring had haar ogen geopend voor de avonturen die het leven kan bieden, zelfs als ze voordien onvoorspelbaar en eng leken.En: The experience had opened her eyes to the adventures life can offer, even when they seemed unpredictable and scary before.Nl: Ze was klaar om haar carrière naar nieuwe hoogtes te brengen.En: She was ready to take her career to new heights.Nl: Sanne had niet alleen nieuwe projecten gewonnen, maar ook een nieuwe kijk op het leven.En: Sanne had not only won new projects but also a new perspective on life.Nl: En dat voelde als het mooiste cadeau van allemaal.En: And that felt like the greatest gift of all.

In this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we are treated to a rare dialogue with John Donovan, renowned technology executive and board member, whose career has spanned transformative eras at AT&T and who continues to shape the strategies of some of the world's biggest companies. This conversation moves from leadership lessons around innovation and timing, through the current AI revolution and its economic implications, to personal reinvention in the face of relentless technological change. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Leading through Technology and Perfect Timing John Donovan shares candid insights about what it truly takes to lead technology for corporations at massive scale. He highlights that while choosing the right technology is challenging, selecting the right time to invest and deploy is even more crucial. Drawing from his stewardship of AT&T during pivotal events, including the company's exclusive deal with Apple for the first iPhone, Donovan explains the delicate balance between being too early, which leads to overspending, and being too late, which risks losing market leadership. He stresses the necessity of a structured process and assembling trusted teams to ensure efficient and impactful execution. This approach, he maintains, applies as much to revolutionary events of the past like the smartphone era as it does to today's accelerating world of artificial intelligence.   The New Industrial Revolution: AI's Economic and Organizational Impact A major theme of the conversation revolves around the unprecedented buildout of infrastructure and investment occurring in AI. Donovan sees AI as the dawn of a new industrial age: one that, for the first time, is manufacturing intelligence itself. He explains that the billions being spent on infrastructure, real estate, and hardware underpin a transformation with no real historical precedent. With AI attributed to fueling a significant portion of current GDP growth, Donovan believes that while the hype is justified, it's still early days. Like the early years of the iPhone, when supporting infrastructure lagged behind exponential demand, today's rapid investment in AI is setting the groundwork for productivity and business model innovation across industries. The conversation touches on how traditional organizational roles and entire sectors are preparing for disruption; category leaders are poised to emerge quickly, and those companies that cannot adapt may not survive.   Reinventing Leadership and the Rise of the Creator Capitalist Donovan offers a personal take on how the pace of change is shifting what it takes to be a successful executive. He predicts that in the near future, the average age of top industry CEOs will drop significantly, as the new environment favors younger leaders who are native to emerging technologies. Experience, he suggests, is being surpassed in value by competency and the capacity to continually self-educate and reinvent oneself. Expanding on the evolution of work itself, Donovan aligns with Christopher's view that we are moving beyond the traditional "knowledge worker" into an era where net new knowledge creation and leveraging AI to build new value will define career success. This creator-driven approach requires not just technical skill, but also imagination and the courage to challenge existing processes. As AI increasingly automates repetitive and procedural tasks, human creativity in integrating and orchestrating these new tools will become the key differentiator across all fields.

Cindy Lim is the founder and Head of Brand for a new app called Yuzu. Launched in early 2024 by Match Group (the same company behind Tinder, Hinge, etc), Yuzu brands itself as a social + dating platform aimed at the Gen Z Asian community (but open to all). Many mainstream dating apps are generalized; Yuzu is part of a trend of “niche” dating/social apps catering to specific demographics (in this case Asian community) and offering more than just dating.  The social mode emphasizes friendship/community (not just hookups/dating) which is increasingly important to younger users.  By embedding culture (heritage, interests, community events) it hopes to foster deeper connections rather than superficial ones. The core target is the Asian diaspora (Asian Americans, Asian immigrants, pan-Asian culture) looking for social or romantic connection. It also welcomes people of any race/ethnicity so long as they engage respectfully with the cultural focus.  It's especially for people who want both friendship/community and the option of dating in the same space: Yuzu tries to blend those rather than only romance. It's attracting people who are comfortable with culturally-aware branding (celebrating Asian heritage, culture, shared values) — it's not a purely “swipe and date” generic app. www.joinyuzu.com

One of the biggest questions subscription box owners ask is: Where do I find products for my box? There's no single “right” answer because the best sourcing strategy depends on where you are in your business journey.  In this quick Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm breaking down three key sourcing methods - wholesale, trade shows, and manufacturing - and showing you how each one fits a different stage of subscription box growth. Stage 1: Just Getting Started. Start with Wholesale If you're still prepping for launch or working toward your first 50–100 subscribers, wholesale is your best friend. It's flexible, affordable, and helps you learn what your audience loves without over-committing. Why it works: Low minimums let you order small quantities. Fast turnaround means you can ship quickly. It's the easiest way to test different product types. Challenges with wholesale: Smaller profit margins. Less exclusivity. Limited branding options Stage 2: You've Launched. Trade Shows & Curated Finds Once you've launched and built momentum, it's time to elevate your box. Trade shows and curated wholesale marketplaces help you discover unique, small-batch, and boutique items that give your box that “wow” factor. Why it works: You'll find more distinctive products. Meeting vendors face-to-face often leads to better pricing or exclusivity. You can start building your signature brand style. Challenges with trade shows and curated marketplaces: Travel costs and larger order requirements. Longer lead times mean planning boxes further ahead. Stage 3: Ready to Scale. Manufacturing When your subscription is stable and you're ready to increase margins or stand out even more, manufacturing can be a game-changer. But there are two levels to consider: Option 1: Stock Product from Manufacturers Buy from manufacturer catalogs and add your own branding or packaging. This is a great bridge between wholesale and full custom. Pros: better margins, faster turnaround, and the ability to add your own brand touches. Cons: limited product selection and minimal exclusivity. Option 2: Full Custom Manufacturing Design your own products from scratch for total control and differentiation. Pros: complete customization, higher perceived value, stronger brand identity. Cons: higher minimums, longer timelines, and bigger upfront costs. Sourcing Is a Journey, Not a Jump You'll probably use all of these sourcing methods at some point: Start with wholesale. Grow into trade shows. Add manufacturer stock for better margins. Move to custom products when you're ready. Take Action Identify your current sourcing stage and make one move this week that aligns with it: New? Order your first wholesale products. Growing? Research an upcoming trade show or apply for a wholesale marketplace account. Scaling? Reach out to a manufacturer and ask about their minimums. Every step forward brings you closer to the box and the brand you're meant to build.
