How did an Amazon seller help scale a brand from $1M to over $10M a month?

In this episode, Bradley Sutton travels to Tallinn, Estonia to catch up with Ranno Tasane, the entrepreneur behind Jungle Powders and a partner in Spot Minders. Ranno shares how his journey started with print-on-demand before moving into Amazon FBA, where Jungle Powders eventually grew into a multimillion-dollar brand despite expensive sourcing and increasing competition. But the biggest story is Spot Minders. The Apple Find My-certified tracking brand began on Shopify before Ranno joined the team to lead the Amazon side of the business. One of the biggest factors behind its explosive growth has been speed and creative volume. The team produces around 150 unique creatives every week, then tests multiple hooks and angles for each one—resulting in roughly 600 to 700 ad uploads per week. That relentless testing helped the company go from its first $1 million month to its first $10+ million month roughly a year later. Ranno also breaks down how Shopify, Meta, and Amazon work together instead of competing against each other. Globally, Shopify accounts for the majority of Spot Minders' sales, while the demand generated through Meta advertising creates spillover traffic and branded searches on Amazon. Their Amazon strategy includes aggressively defending branded keywords, bidding heavily on major terms such as wallet trackers, and sometimes accepting break-even or even unprofitable PPC when winning the placement benefits the larger business. New products are also launched on Shopify first and typically tested for two to three months before inventory is sent to Amazon. Perhaps the biggest lesson from Ranno's journey isn't a specific PPC tactic or advertising hack—it's the mindset behind the growth. He credits much of Spot Minders' success to working with partners who think just as big, or bigger, than he does. After reaching $1 million a month, the team's response wasn't to celebrate the finish line; it was to start talking about $10 million, then $30 million or $40 million. For Amazon sellers who have spent years mastering the marketplace, this episode is a reminder that the next level of growth may come from looking beyond Amazon, testing faster, surrounding yourself with ambitious people, and refusing to put an artificial ceiling on what's possible.

Winging It On Location – Days 4-6-Helsinki: Our First Sauna, Trendy Coffees and Dancing On The StreetIn this on-location episode of Winging It, I continue the Estonia-to-Finland road trip and spend three packed days exploring Helsinki — a city that quickly became one of my favourite capital cities in Europe.From the ferry across the Gulf of Finland to trendy speciality coffee shops, a free walking tour, and our first proper Finnish sauna experience, this episode captures the atmosphere of Helsinki in real time. I share practical travel tips, food recommendations, transport advice, and the honest reactions that make these live-location episodes feel like you're travelling alongside us.We start with the Viking Line ferry from Tallinn, settle into central Helsinki, and dive straight into the city's café culture. After a crash course in Finnish history on a free walking tour, the trip becomes increasingly local: a Saturday morning ParkRun, doing laundry in a quirky neighbourhood café, and then the highlight of the weekend — a two-hour waterfront sauna session at Löyly.The evening turns into an unexpected night out filled with live music, dancing in a closed-off bar street, and one very unusual encounter involving a stranger with a glass of wine.On the final day, we slow things down with outstanding coffee and brunch before taking the ferry to Suomenlinna, Helsinki's UNESCO-listed sea fortress, for coastal views, cannons, history, and gelato by the water.If you're planning a Helsinki weekend trip, looking for sauna recommendations, or want a mix of food, coffee, nightlife, and history, this episode is packed with ideas and real-world travel insights.Places & Activities MentionedViking Line ferry from Tallinn to HelsinkiHotel Finn (central Helsinki)La Torrefazione specialty coffee caféGreen Cap Tours free walking tourHelsinki Central Library OodiRestaurant Khao Tip (Thai food)Tokoinranta ParkRunCafé Tin Tin Tango (laundry + café stop)Löyly waterfront saunaPute's Bar & PizzaMummotunneli nightlife areaSt George's CaféLazy Fox brunchFerry to SuomenlinnaEsplanadi ParkHelsinki CathedralSenate SquareSupport Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

Es gibt Gespräche, in denen jemand die Hosen runterlässt – und genau das passiert hier. Jessica Svartvit ist zurück im TFTN-Stuhl, diesmal nicht zwischen Messelärm und Factory Day, sondern von Zuhause aus, mit abgelaufenem Bier und erstaunlich viel Ehrlichkeit im Gepäck. Nach zwölf Jahren Tätowieren hat sie in diesem Jahr etwas verstanden, das viele in der Branche erst dann kapieren, wenn der Körper schon streikt: dass ihr Wert nichts mit ihrer Produktivität zu tun hat. Sie erzählt von dem Studio, das die Elbe geküsst hat, vom Svarthaus, das nach nur zwei Jahren wieder zumachte, und davon, wie sich das gefeierte Privatatelier für sie irgendwann wie ein goldener Käfig anfühlte – ohne Input, ohne Feedback, ohne jemanden, der sagt, ob man die Dinge eigentlich noch richtig macht. Dazwischen: Trauer, die sie mit sieben Arbeitstagen am Stück weggeschoben hat, ein Burnout, das nah genug war, um es zu riechen, und die Erkenntnis, dass ein Tag im Wald dem nächsten Backpiece mehr bringt als der zehnte Tag vor der Leinwand.Aber das hier ist keine Abrechnung, sondern ein Neuanfang mit Ansage. Jessica erzählt von der Kollabo mit Thorsten May in Tallinn – einem Blind-Date-Backpiece, das aus einem Wellnesshotel-Q&A entstand und richtig übel hätte schiefgehen können –, von ihrem freiwilligen Schritt zurück auf Anfang: ab Oktober arbeitet sie in Barcelona bei einem Argentinier, der seit 30 Jahren ausschließlich Full Body Suits sticht, quasi eine zweite Lehre. Sie und Seb nehmen außerdem den Contest-Zirkus auseinander, reden über schlafende Juroren, JOMO statt FOMO, das Content-Brain, das jede Kreativität kastriert, und einen Regenbogen in Kalifornien, den sie 2017 vierzig Minuten lang gefilmt statt angeschaut hat. Zum Schluss gibt's den vielleicht besten Tipp der Folge: einmal im Jahr etwas komplett Neues lernen.@jessicasvartvit⁠⁠⁠[ WERBUNG ]Bei unseren Werbepartnern könnt ihr richtig sparen - darunter bei Neonsfeer, Murostar, Killer Ink, Cheyenne Tattoo Equipment, CoalBlack oder Caos Nero!

From avocado toast in one of Tallinn's trendiest cafés to a deep dive into the country's Soviet history, this episode blends food, culture, history and the small moments that make a trip memorable.I wander through the cobbled streets of the Old Town in the sunshine, join a free walking tour to learn about Estonia's path to independence, and take in panoramic views across the city. The next day I head out to the seaside district of Pirita, visit the Soviet memorials and cemetery, and reflect on how Estonia preserves difficult parts of its past.There's also excellent coffee, cardamom buns, goulash in a bread bowl, jazz at Philly Joe's, and the beginning of a travel obsession that may last the rest of the trip: Monopoly Deal.If you're considering a European city break that feels safer, quieter and less crowded than many of the continent's major capitals, Tallinn might be the perfect choice.In this episode:Exploring Tallinn's Old Town, cafés and bakeriesLearning about Estonia's history on a free walking tourVisiting Soviet memorials and Pirita BeachJazz, wine and final thoughts on Tallinn as a city breakSupport Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

!! Sorry about sound issues with our podcast today !!  -- There are many times that timing is important to God. And God's timing is not always the same as we think it should be.  But in the end, the Lord is always on time and He can do greater miracles for us. When Jesus seemed to be late for Lazarus, He knew God was going to do something greater than anyone thought. Faith is not knowing the outcome, but trusting the one who does know. You will see your miracle, if you believe.

The lockout follows a recent VW API change that also cut off third-party smart-charging and home-automation tools, raising questions about EU Data Act compliance.   A 19-year-old alleged Scattered Spider member's globe-trotting VPN op-sec got shredded by a Windows telemetry ID he probably didn't know existed. - https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-device-identifier-tracking/ Peter Stokes (dual US-Estonian, 19) allegedly ran an $8M extortion hit on a luxury retailer using voice-phishing, ngrok tunneling, and 77GB of S3 exfil — but the FBI cross-referenced his Microsoft Global Device Identifier (GDID) across Apple, Snapchat, Facebook, and even a Ubisoft login to place the same device on the same IPs in Tallinn, NYC, and Thailand, matching his travel records. Microsoft has since acknowledged using the GDID to track the user across three countries — meaning the VPN masked his network endpoint, but the GDID rendered that protection moot.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Glenn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennmedina/ Jason - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-seemann-12b7075/

!! Sorry about sound issues with our podcast today !!  -- Many situations in life, what you see and what God sees are not the same. Many times God is doing the work in areas you can't see, and the end it is better than we dreamed.  It is not what it looks like to us.  What looks like sickness, isolation, defeat, weakness, punishment. Heaven says health, redemption, victory, strength, life.

Sie ist eines der größten europäischen Infrastrukturprojekte und soll endlich die Zugfahrtzeiten auf der Strecke von Warschau durch das Baltikum bis nach Tallinn deutlich verkürzen: Noch stärker in den Fokus gerät die Rail Baltica vor allem durch Putins Überfall auf die Ukraine. Die Bahntrasse wird laut NATO-Angaben eine wichtige Rolle bei künftigen Panzer-Transporten und Truppenbewegungen spielen. Bisher müssen Züge an der polnisch-litauischen Grenze umgesetzt werden, weil im Baltikum nach wie vor die alte sowjetische Spurbreite verbaut ist. Die würde es Russland auch erleichtern per Zug nach Kaliningrad durchzustoßen. Eigentlich sollte die Rail Baltica schon 2015 fertiggestellt sein. Inzwischen sind die Baukosten von ursprünglich geplanten sieben auf 24 Milliarden Euro angewachsen, 85 Prozent davon zahlt die EU. Angepeilt ist nun 2030 für die Inbetriebnahme. Doch es hakt noch immer an vielen Stellen, in Lettland etwa sind bis heute Eigentumsverhältnisse auf der Strecke ungeklärt. Viele Landbesitzer wissen bis heute nicht, ob und in welchem Umfang sie enteignet werden sollen. Und laut Informationen des estnischen Geheimdienstes unterstützt Russland NGO's und Aktivisten, die sich gegen das Mega-Projekt positionieren. Christoph Kersting berichtet.

In dieser Episode erzähle ich, warum du mit deinem Business nicht jedem gefallen solltest – und was du von einer einzigartigen Bar in Tallinn lernen kannst. Ich zeige, wie radikale Positionierung und klare Abgrenzung echte Fans anziehen, statt in der Austauschbarkeit unterzugehen. Anhand der Depeche Mode-Bar wird deutlich: Wer mutig für etwas steht, wird sichtbar und unvergesslich. Ich teile meine Erfahrungen aus der Arbeit mit Unternehmen und gebe Impulse, wie schon kleine Veränderungen in deiner Positionierung große Wirkung erzielen können. Du erfährst, warum fünf Prozent treuer Kunden oft mehr wert sind als die Masse – und wie du sie für dich gewinnst.

PART TWO!!!

When God calls you He equips you.  But God will rarely equip you with all you need at the beginning.  When God supplies He is usually not early, but He is never too late.  In the story of Abraham and Isaac we see how Abraham's obedience and faith released great blessing.  And we also see the a beautiful picture of God offering His own Son on the cross.  

God will equip you for the victory, but God will also equip you for the recovery.  We can see from Elijah's life, even when fulfilling our calling, that there can come times of exhaustion or depression when we have given out all we have to give.  But God will meet us in the low places to bring us out with new purpose, and equip us for what is next.  

In this Mission Extra, James and Abigail Payne share how God has led them into ministry in Tallinn, Estonia, the work He is doing through them, and the opportunities and challenges they encounter while serving in one of the most atheistic countries in Europe. Hear firsthand how the gospel is transforming lives and discover specific ways to pray for their ministry.

We need to simply believe God when He tells us that He will equip us for our future. God doesn't hold anything from you, He has given us everything in His grace.  We access all that is in grace by faith.  Our faith and God's mercy, release all that grace contains.

Recording inside three different zones of the Palm House at Tallinn Botanic Garden, with the natural reverby acoustic of the space, piped birdsong, and the sounds of various fans and heating devices. Recorded in Tallinn, Estonia by Cities and Memory. 

"The original field recording of the botanic gardens in Tallinn, Estonia, reminded me of how much I enjoy visiting these spaces, unusual and exotic flora from around the world in a little capsule… some rare specimens may only exist in these manmade protective bubbles…"For the project I extracted 6 sections of the original audio, between 5 and 25 seconds in length… (No other audio was used). I processed these on my iPad with various granular synthesis apps (Fluss, Tardigrain, Outgrowth, etc.)to dissect, disassemble, rearrange and reconstruct into a new composition."As well as adding further effects; delay, filter, distortion and reverb etc. to create 3 separate granular textured layers which I then combined together to create the final track.  Some eq/compression to finalise.“The recursive manipulation; chopping, stretching and distorting of the original audio, creates a sort of dystopian cybernetic jungle, a cacophony of alien and mechanical, yet almost familiar sounds, echo around this synthetic environment…”Botanic garden in Tallinn reimagined by id_23.

The Crusades reshaped Europe far beyond Jerusalem — and we've forgotten itFor most people, the Crusades begin and end with Jerusalem, Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. But that narrow view hides a far bigger story. In this episode of History Rage, medieval archaeologist Professor Aleks Pluskowski takes aim at the myth that crusading was confined to the eastern Mediterranean — and reveals how crusades transformed northern and eastern Europe in ways that still shape the modern worldDrawing on decades of archaeological research and historical evidence, Aleks explains how the Baltic Crusades were longer, more successful, and ultimately more influential than those in the Levant. From the rise of the Teutonic Order to the foundation of cities like Riga and Tallinn, this conversation exposes a forgotten chapter of European history that fundamentally reshaped societies, borders and identitiesYou'll hear why crusading was a papally authorised penitential war, how it expanded beyond Jerusalem to target pagans, heretics and political enemies, and why northern Europe became the Crusades' most enduring battlefield. Aleks also unpacks the diversity of pre-Christian belief systems in the Baltic, the realities of conquest and settlement, and how crusading ideology became a template for later colonialism and modern nationalist mythsThe episode also tackles how the Teutonic Order evolved from a humble hospital in Acre into a powerful military state, why it succeeded where the Levantine Crusader states failed, and how its image was later distorted by 19th-century nationalism and Nazi propaganda. This is not just military history — it's a story about how Europe learned to dominate, govern and remember its pastIf you think you know the Crusades, this episode will make you rethink everything.Guest: Professor Aleks PluskowskiProfessor of Medieval Archaeology, University of ReadingAleks Pluskowski is a leading authority on crusading in northern Europe, with extensive fieldwork experience across Poland and the Baltic region. His research focuses on material culture, landscapes of conquest, and the long-term impact of crusading societies.BookThe Black Cross: The Medieval Baltic CrusadesBuy here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9780300279061About History RageHistory Rage is the podcast that hunts down historical myths and kicks them into the long grass.

God has equipped us with everything we need to get through this life and make a difference.  We should do our best in the natural, but believe God for His supernatural.  Here is a reminder of some of the ways God has equipped us in life.  

Sen Rysslands första större cyberangrepp för snart 20 år sedan har hotet bara ökat, och idag finns nya kraftfullare vapen i cyberrymden. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Våren 2007 utbryter upplopp i Estlands huvudstad Tallinn. Det är rysktalande estländare som protesterar mot att ett sovjetiskt monument ska flyttas, men på nätet skrivs det att monumentet ska förstöras. Protesterna är våldsamma. En person dör.I det här kaoset får banker problem och folk kan inte ta ut pengar och inhemska mediers webbplatser slås ut. Världen har nu fått skåda en helt ny typ av krigföring.– Det var ett av de första exemplen på cyberkrigföring där det var en kampanj orkestrerad av den ryska staten där man ville skapa samhällsstörning och destabilisering med hjälp av olika cyberattacker, säger Sarah Backman, doktor i internationella relationer på Försvarshögskolan med fokus på cybersäkerhet och cyberkrigföring. Sedan den här våren i Tallinn för nästan 20 år sedan har Ryssland bara trappat upp sina angrepp i cyberrymden. Och trots att det faktiskt handlar om attacker, orkestrerade av den ryska staten så är Natos hållning att det inte samma sak som en väpnad attack.– Det är inte en enskild cyberattack eller enskild händelse som skulle kunna leda till att Natos artikel 5 aktiveras, säger Sarah BackmanGråzonDet som gör cyberkrig svårt är att mycket sker genom personer och grupper som bara indirekt kan knytas till ryska staten.– I Ryssland finns det kopplingar mellan den organiserade brottsligheten och staten. Det vet vi sen tidigare. Vid konflikter har ryska kriminella organisationer ställt upp och anfallit Rysslands motståndare, säger David Lindahl som är cyberforskare på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut FOI. De ryska hackergruppernas paradgren är så kallade lösensummeattacker där man tar sig in i system och krypterar allt, och enda sättet att få tillbaka kontrollen över sin IT-miljö är att betala en lösensumma.I Sverige har vi sett flera exempel på det här, där hackare antingen lyckats låsa, eller varit väldigt nära att lyckas låsa ett datorsystem. En kommun som drabbats är Kalmar. Där upptäcktes angreppet innan hackarna kunde låsa systemet. Men kommunen fick vara utan sina servrar i flera veckor. Så effekten blev nästan densamma, i alla falla i några veckor.– Vi har vår hemtjänst, den är sjukt viktig. De har inte tillgång till vilket schema och vilka adresser (brukarna, red.anm.) har, det är alltid i ett digitalt schema. Vi har inte information om vilka mediciner som är ordinerade på individnivå i vår omsorg, säger Anna Flink som är säkerhetschef på Kalmar kommun.Ryssland trappar uppKalmar-exemplet visar att lösensummeattacker eller överbelastningsattacker kan få svåra konsekvenser indirekt. Men det finns en oroande trend att angreppen får en karaktär av rena sabotage.– En angripare som går in och försöker ta sönder industrin utan vinning, då har man ett annat fokus, säger David Lindahl, cyberforskare på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut FOI. Ett sådant exempel inträffade 2014. Det som misstänks vara ryska hackare tog sig då in i datorsystemen vid den tyska jätten ThyssenKrupps stålverk i Duisburg. Inne i systemet stängde angriparna av kylvattnet till den stora masugnen och det slutade med att anläggningen drabbades av en omfattade brand.Och i Sverige skedde ett liknade angrepp förra året i ett värmeverk i Västsverige, men som stoppades.– Den som oroar mig personligen mest är värmeverk-fallet förra året. Därför att gå in och aktivt försöka ge sig på kritisk infrastruktur och industrier. Det har inte skett särskilt mycket här uppe tidigare. Det har varit angrepp mot industrier och liknande men det mesta som drabbats av tidigare har varit utpressning, säger David Lindahl.MythosTidigare i år kom nyheten att företaget Anthropic byggt ett AI-program som ska hitta och testa sårbarheter i mjukvara, men också helt på egen hand utnyttja de sårbarheterna. Programmet heter Claude Mythos och stället för att släppa det fritt på marknaden, valde Anthropic att bara släppa det till några särskilt utvalda företag som tex Google och Microsoft så att de kan laga sårbarheterna som Mythos hittade. Men i fel händer skulle det här kunna bli ett potent cybervapen. – Ju mer sofistikerad AI blir, desto mer kommer det att påverka de här dynamikerna och attacker kanske kommer bli alltmer automatiserade. Men samtidigt är det svårt att säga exakt vilken påverkan det här kommer få. I slutändan kan man kanske använda AI både för att skydda sig och att attackera, säger Sarah Backman på Försvarshögskolan.TEXT: Kalle GlasMedverkandeSarah Backman, doktor i internationella relationer på Försvarshögskolan med fokus på cybersäkerhet och cyberkrigföring.

In this special Reporter's Notebook, Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠, host here at N2K CyberWire, takes listeners behind the scenes of our three-part series on Cyber Coalition 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia. After exploring real-time incident response, cross-border coordination, and the broader stakes of collective cyber defense, this episode offers a more personal, behind-the-scenes look at how the reporting came together. Hosted by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence, the exercise brought together allied military, government, and industry teams inside NATO's secure cyber range. Here, Maria reflects on moments that didn't make the final cut — the atmosphere inside the facilities, the pace of covering a live exercise, and the small, human details that added texture to the larger story.

In the final installment of our three-part series on ⁠Cyber Coalition 2025⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠, host here at N2K CyberWire, and ⁠⁠⁠Liz Stokes, CyberWire Producer, step back from the cyber range to reflect on what their time in Tallinn really meant. This episode moves beyond the mechanics of the exercise and into the broader stakes of collective cyber defense in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical moment. Recorded two months after their visit, the conversation blends field tape and personal reflections — from standing outside the Russian Embassy in Old Town to recalling the weight inside NATO's secure facilities. Estonia's history, including the 2007 cyberattacks, and its visible solidarity with Ukraine underscore just how real and proximate the risks remain.
