Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the serious sellers podcast by Helium 10.

I am your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that's a completely BS-free, unscripted, and unrehearsed, organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. And as I always do, we've got a real serious. He's not too serious. He's kind of, he has a sense of humor too. But we got a serious seller today. And that's Dan. Dan, how's it going? Fantastic, Brad. Thanks for having me on the show. All right. Now, little known fact, you were actually speaking at a conference that I always point to as kind of like having changed my life almost, you know, and where I am today. Like, I had worked before for those, you know, who don't know, I had to work for a company that was selling on Amazon, but I was just basically kind of like the logistics guy. You know, I was, I was the money man and handling the warehouse and things like that. They didn't tell me anything about Amazon. And when that company kind of split apart, I was like, I don't know if this Amazon thing is for me. And on a whim, I was just like, let me go to this conference. I think it was 2016. It was the Zon Squad Live or something like that. It was in Chicago. Yep. I remember that. Yeah. And you and your partner had done something about wholesale, you know, there, which we're definitely going to talk a lot about today. I was like, whoa, this is pretty cool. And like the second conference I went to, which was in it was Midwest e-com or some. You guys were there too. And I'm like, you know what?

I know these guys.

These guys are pretty cool.

And then. I went to, which was in, it was Midwest e-com or some, you guys were there too.

And I'm like, you know what?

I know these guys. These guys are pretty cool. And then it's been kind of cool to follow your journey. And so I want to kind of go back, though, even to find out some things, I don't know. I know some stuff about your history because, you know, like I said, I was there at the conference. but let's take it back a few more years.

Like you said you're in Kentucky now.

Is that where you're born and raised?

Yeah, absolutely. Because, you know, like I said, I was there at the conference. But let's take it back a few more years.

Like you said you're in Kentucky now. Is that where you were born and raised?

Yeah, absolutely.

All right.

And then like graduating high school, did you go to a college?

Yep.

After high school, I went to college locally here, the University of the Cumberlands.

And I was originally going to be an attorney when I grew up.

Interesting. So like what, like inspired that? So you didn't have, you weren't one of those kids then
