| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the podcast, the show where I cover all the latest strategies and current events related to e-commerce and online business. |
| 0:06.9 | Now, in this episode, I have a student in my creative profitable online store course on the show, Charles Chakalo. |

| 0:17.8 | But Charles has quietly turned the same dead model into an eight-figure machine |
