Today's episode is a short excerpt from a previous conversation I had with one of our amazing Paper Camp students.I really love using this podcast to spotlight the incredible things that our students are doing because there is so much value in hearing how other product brands are navigating wholesale in real time. These episodes are also a great reminder that there is no singular path to success when it comes to selling wholesale. You get to decide what works best for you and your brand. Today you're getting an inside look at how one brand does things which will surely spark ideas for you.

Today's conversation is all about growing your business intentionally, experimenting with new ideas, and building a brand that evolves alongside you. Today's guest is Kirstie Lee, the founder of A Jar of Pickles, a product company that creates playful gifts and accessories that celebrate Asian appetites. Kirstie's been in business for 12 years, starting as an Etsy hobby while she was in college, and she kept it running alongside her corporate job for 8 years. Then, she went full-time about 5 years ago after having her kids. Her brand now sells online, at craft shows, and through wholesale partnerships. Last year alone, she managed 43 retail markets across 4 states. Kirstie has been part of our Proof to Product community for more than a decade, and it has been such a joy to watch her business grow.In this episode, we talk about everything from balancing a corporate career while building a product brand to hiring your first employee, expanding into wholesale, building a devoted direct-to-consumer audience, and why treating your business like one big experiment has opened doors to opportunities that Kirstie never even planned for. I especially love Kirstie's perspective on listening to customers without letting every opinion dictate your direction and how staying curious has helped her continue growing year after year. If you are wondering what the next stage of growth could look like for your business and you're looking for encouragement that there is not one specific pathway to take for that success, then I think you're really going to enjoy today's episode.Today's episode is brought to you by our Is Wholesale Right for You workshop! Wholesale is not the only way to grow a product brand, but it's definitely my favorite. If you are curious about selling to retail stores, or maybe you've hit a wholesale plateau and aren't sure what to do next, then this free on-demand workshop will help you identify your next best step along with action items to do that.SIGN UPYou can view full show notes and more at http://prooftoproduct.com/451 Quick Links:Free Wholesale Audio SeriesFree Resources LibraryFree Email Marketing for Product MakersPTP LABSPaper Camp

Handbags have evolved from everyday essentials into expressions of personal identity—and that shift is transforming the way retailers buy, merchandise, and discover brands. In this episode, Dorothy Belshaw, CEO and co-owner of NY NOW, shares how the wholesale landscape has changed, why trade shows remain essential in a digital world, and how independent designers can stand out with buyers. From the impact of the 2008 recession to post-pandemic consumer behavior, Dorothy explains why human connection, curated experiences, and genuine product innovation continue to drive retail success.Key Takeaways:• Wholesale is evolving, not disappearing — Trade shows and in-person relationships still drive discovery and lasting retail partnerships.• Handbags have become lifestyle purchases — Today's consumers buy bags as personal expressions, creating new opportunities in the gift and specialty retail markets.• Curation wins attention — Focused concepts and fresh merchandising help independent brands stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

In February 1893, Atlanta endured a week of financial scandal, suicide and shocking violence that newspapers would later remember as Black Week. The darkest chapter unfolded inside the home of one of the city's most respected families, where two sisters were murdered and a third calmly confessed. Through contemporary accounts and Julia Force's own writings, this episode explores one of Georgia's most haunting nineteenth-century murder cases and the mystery that still surrounds it.

How does an $8 Amazon product stay highly profitable? Today's guest reveals his wholesale strategy, European sourcing advantages, AI workflows, and resilient multichannel growth.   ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft   Can an Amazon seller build a profitable business around products priced under $10? In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Ivan Komashinsky, the entrepreneur behind the U.S. distribution of Pedag Insoles and the Meltonian shoe-care brand. Ivan shares how he went from working at Microsoft to acquiring an established seven-figure e-commerce business—and eventually tripling its revenue. While Amazon remains Ivan's largest channel, his company has built a much broader operation through its own websites, independent retailers, regional distributors, Walmart, eBay, TikTok Shop, and Faire. Ivan explains how wholesale volume, strong supplier relationships, and European manufacturing allow Meltonian to maintain healthy margins on products selling for as little as $7.99. He also breaks down why managing inventory in-house makes sense for a business carrying thousands of SKUs across multiple sales channels. Ivan also reveals how his team uses Helium 10 tools such as Cerebro and Magnet to rank for valuable non-branded keywords and develop new products based on customer demand, competitor gaps, and search behavior. More recently, he has been using the Helium 10 MCP through Claude to investigate declining product sales, analyze trends, and explore profitability, traffic, conversion rates, keyword rankings, and advertising performance through natural-language conversations. From building authority on Reddit to getting started with wholesale through Faire, trade shows, and industry associations, Ivan offers a practical roadmap for creating a more resilient e-commerce business. His story shows that success does not always require expensive products or a business built entirely around Amazon. With the right sourcing, volume, distribution strategy, pricing policies, and willingness to adapt, even a traditional brand can unlock new growth opportunities.

Former drug trafficker Justin Campos reveals how he built a multi-million-dollar marijuana operation by shipping large quantities of weed from California to Texas through USPS, UPS, and FedEx. In this episode, Justin explains how he entered the marijuana business, found suppliers connected to California's Emerald Triangle, operated a medical weed delivery service in Los Angeles, and moved thousands of pounds across state lines. He also breaks down how his custom jewelry business connected him with rappers and music-industry figures, including 50 Cent, Young Buck, G-Unit, Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, and Tech N9ne. Justin describes accepting gold, diamonds, Rolexes, and custom jewelry as payment while trying to turn illegal drug money into legitimate income. The operation eventually attracted law-enforcement attention after suspicious bank deposits, intercepted cash shipments, surveillance, and text messages connected Justin to his Texas distributors. Authorities seized hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Justin ultimately received a seven-year prison sentence for money laundering. Go Support Justin!

Lower power bills are on the way for commercial customers, but a longer wait's in store for the average household. Meridian Energy says 2027 forward wholesale prices have fallen more than 35% since April. Chief Executive Mike Roan says it'll fall 15% over the same period for 2028 and 2029 as renewable energy's built. But Major Electricity Users' Group Executive Director Karen Boyes told Mike Hosking homes won't feel that immediately. She says it's favourable conditions with hydro lakes full and a pipeline of projects, but it'll take a while to roll through. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Building an Art-Led eCommerce Fashion Brand: Kyall & Maku Fenaroli on Maku The LabelIn this episode, Ryan sits down with Kyall and Maku Fenaroli, the husband-and-wife team behind Maku The Label, an art-centric fashion brand that's gone from Maku painting designs on blank t-shirts to landing David Jones as a stockist, all in under 18 months.Maku spent over a decade in finance before turning her lifelong passion for art into a business. Kyall left a career as a plumber and general manager in construction to run the operations side full-time. Together they've built a brand defined by original artwork, rapid organic growth, and a willingness to make big, fast calls, including ripping up their entire fulfilment model mid-flight.This one's a masterclass in scrappy growth, knowing when to change your model, and what it actually takes to go from side hustle to major retail partner.From side hustle to Style Runner in four monthsMaku started printing her art on blank tees with zero branding, just a decision to stop buying t-shirts she didn't love. Four months later they landed Style Runner, their first major stockist, before either of them had heard of an SSCC barcode.Why they walked away from print-on-demandPrint-on-demand gave Maku total creative flexibility (paint today, sell tomorrow), but it was killing customer experience with two-week delivery windows and mispicked orders. After a rough Black Friday period exposed the gap, they moved to a 3PL and in-stock model in a matter of months.The real cost of switching to held stockKyall breaks down what changes when you go from print-on-demand to holding inventory: deposits on stock six months out, a five-to-nine month cash conversion cycle, and having to plan collections over a year in advance. Maku is already painting for August 2027.Contribution margin over vanity revenueKyall's biggest lesson from the last 18 months: understanding gross margin, delivered margin, and contribution profit, not just top-line revenue. He talks candidly about how much of the "guru" advice in eCommerce ignores what it actually costs to get a sale to break-even.Wholesale lessons from Style Runner and David JonesMaku credits Style Runner for patiently teaching them the basics of wholesale (barcodes, dispatch windows, systems) before they stepped up to David Jones, where the same requirements come with far less flexibility.Personalised influencer gifting that actually gets sharedMaku's approach to influencer seeding isn't a mail-merge, it's DM'ing people directly, matching values and aesthetic, and adding a genuinely personal touch (a hand-painted portrait for Alana Hadid, a custom tee tied to Celeste Barber's own brand). The result: organic shares from influencers with audiences in the hundreds of thousands to over a million.Pulling back from paid ads toward organic and IRLAfter ramping up Meta and Google ads over the past year, the pair are consciously shifting back toward the organic-first strategy that built the brand, including real-world events they say outperform equivalent ad spend.New York Fashion Week, twiceMaku The Label is heading back to New York in September for NYFW, running a gifting suite with PR agency Kate & Co. and exploring a possible pop-up retail space alongside other Australian brands.What's next: the Australian designer categoryMaku's goal is to move the brand firmly into ready-to-wear and the Australian designer space, with the US identified as the next major growth market for both DTC and wholesale.Links & MentionsMaku The LabelStyle RunnerDavid JonesKate & Co.

Did you know that it costs up to seven times more to acquire a new customer than it does to retain a current customer? Yes, seven times! We spend so much time, money and energy chasing new customers, new followers, new email subscribers, new stockists. And meanwhile, we have people who already bought from us, the ones who already know us and like us. They trust our brand and most of us are barely talking to them. So today we're going to fix that and talk about why customer retention is so important.Today's episode is brought to you by our Paper Camp program. Paper Camp is our wholesale coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know to build strong wholesale foundations. Over the course of 4 weeks, we tackle your product line, sales tools, and marketing plan, and we even talk about how to exhibit at trade shows if that's what you want to do. We start with your product line and go into everything from how often you should be releasing new products to ensuring that your numbers are sustainable for the wholesale market and their price for profit.Then we move into sales tools you must have for selling wholesale so you make a strong first impression with buyers like catalogs and your terms and conditions. Then, we cover marketing strategies and ways to reach various store owners. Each week's teachings build on the previous week, and we host weekly live engaging coaching calls to answer all of your questions. We will open enrollment for our next round of Paper Camp soon, and we sell this program out every time we run it.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Miriam Gottfried and Telis Demos preview earnings from Taiwan's flagship chip maker, TSMC. They also break down why this coming week's earnings from Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth Group and Abbott Laboratories won't do much to save healthcare from its negative earnings growth expectations. Then, Miriam and Telis are joined by Christine Short, head of research at Wall Street Horizon, which is part of the financial-services company TMX Group, to decode why analysts' corporate earnings expectations are reaching exuberant highs. They ask: How are companies achieving such strong results without massive revenue growth, and are those gains sustainable? Plus, Short explains how the AI buildout is reshaping corporate efficiency. They also discuss how companies like BJ's Wholesale, FedEx and Nike are managing tariff refunds and what that has meant for consumers. They talk about what to expect from this week's bank earnings, with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and others slated to report. Then the hosts examine the broader market's health and what the Late Earnings Report Index, or LERI, which tracks when companies report later than expected, might be signaling about future volatility. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, and Miriam Gottfried, WSJ's investing and wealth management reporter, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

Introduction What happens to a $114 billion market when six people head toward retirement for every one person coming in behind them? That is the question hanging over the MGA channel, and it sits at the center of Vertafore's 2026 MGA Workforce and Technology Report. Josh Hollander sits down with Emily McGinn, who runs Vertafore's MGA & Wholesale business unit, to dig into what a survey of nearly 200 MGA leaders says about succession, operational discipline, and where AI is already paying for itself. Guest Bio Emily McGinn is SVP & General Manager of the MGA & Wholesale business unit at Vertafore, one of the largest insurance technology providers in North America, where she runs product development, professional services, and customer service for the segment. She came to insurance nine months ago from telecom and technology operations leadership at Zayo, Lumen, and Windstream, which gives her an outsider's read on an industry that keeps its people for decades. Key Topics -The demographic cliff - 67% of the MGA workforce is 44 or older, only 4% is under 28, and the ratio of workers 55-plus to workers under 25 runs about six to one. -What walks out the door first - Carrier and agency relationships built over three or four decades, plus underwriting judgment that has seen full market cycles, are the things technology cannot replace. -Growth is moderating, and it changes the playbook - MGA premium growth has cooled from double digits to single digits, so premium volume alone no longer covers for thin operational discipline. -Operational excellence is now a carrier mandate - Carriers are demanding clean data, real governance, and bordereau reporting that ties out, and they are choosing MGA partners accordingly. -Where AI pays for itself today - Vertafore's email ingestion agent reads unstructured submissions and fills the application automatically, turning 20 minutes of data entry into a three-minute review. -Tech-first MGAs are table stakes, not a threat - The startups are pushing everyone to move faster, but the winners still need the industry foundation first and the technology on top. 2026 as the adoption inflection - 21% of surveyed MGAs use AI today and 50% plan to adopt soon, and Emily believes those numbers were already stale within months of the survey. Notable Quotes "The ratio is about six people 55-plus to one person under 25." "It used to take you twenty minutes to read these PDFs and data-entry this all in. Now it takes seconds. You review it in three minutes to make sure it's right and move on." "If you just start with the technology, you're probably not going to win." "The MGAs that didn't make it, it was often a data issue. They lost the carrier's trust."

Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation was not built like a traditional street-level sex-trafficking ring focused on volume and direct profit. It was a targeted exploitation network designed around access, influence, leverage, and elite protection. Epstein allegedly used vulnerable girls and young women as currency inside a world of wealthy and powerful people, where secrecy and proximity mattered more than ordinary commercial gain. Jean-Luc Brunel and MC2 mattered because the modeling industry allegedly provided the perfect cover: promises of opportunity, travel, housing, introductions, and career advancement that could be used to lure young women into Epstein's orbit while making the arrangement appear legitimate from the outside.Immigration fraud was central to that machinery because foreign girls and young women could allegedly be brought into the United States under false pretenses, then controlled through fear, dependency, paperwork, and threats tied to their legal status. Once inside the system, the promise of modeling work could turn into coercion, isolation, abuse, and silence, with immigration vulnerability functioning like an invisible leash. The larger indictment is that Epstein's operation required more than one predator; it required recruiters, facilitators, professional covers, institutional failure, and powerful people willing to look away. Epstein may be dead, and Brunel may be dead, but the machinery they used did not run on ghosts, and until the visa fraud, modeling pipeline, money trail, and protected associates are fully exposed, the coverup remains alive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation was not built like a traditional street-level sex-trafficking ring focused on volume and direct profit. It was a targeted exploitation network designed around access, influence, leverage, and elite protection. Epstein allegedly used vulnerable girls and young women as currency inside a world of wealthy and powerful people, where secrecy and proximity mattered more than ordinary commercial gain. Jean-Luc Brunel and MC2 mattered because the modeling industry allegedly provided the perfect cover: promises of opportunity, travel, housing, introductions, and career advancement that could be used to lure young women into Epstein's orbit while making the arrangement appear legitimate from the outside.Immigration fraud was central to that machinery because foreign girls and young women could allegedly be brought into the United States under false pretenses, then controlled through fear, dependency, paperwork, and threats tied to their legal status. Once inside the system, the promise of modeling work could turn into coercion, isolation, abuse, and silence, with immigration vulnerability functioning like an invisible leash.

Today's episode is a short excerpt from a previous conversation I had with one of our amazing Paper Camp students.I really love using this podcast to spotlight the incredible things that our students are doing because there is so much value in hearing how other product brands are navigating wholesale in real time. These episodes are also a great reminder that there is no singular path to success when it comes to selling wholesale. You get to decide what works best for you and your brand.
