He has sold millions on the platform. How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the serious sellers podcast by Helium 10.

I'm our host Bradley Sutton and this is the show that's completely BS free unscripted and

And we have got a serious seller on the show here, podcast listener, he tells me for years,

successful on Amazon seller, very successful TikTok shop seller. Jared, how is it going? Welcome

to the show. It's going really, really well. I'm super excited to be here. Awesome. As you guys might, maybe, if you're just listening to this in the car, maybe we sound a little bit differently. We're here in the Healian 10 office today in the famous tequila room where we filmed Freedom Tick and other things because we just filmed a course on TikTok shop. We'll talk a little bit about that later.

But first,

since this is your first time on the show, like I usually like to do, we like to get a little background. Now, you flew here today from Wichita. Yes. But you said you were from Utah originally? Yeah, I grew up in southern Utah. Southern Utah. Like, what about, or like, not wait, What is it stuff?

What's the one that's right on the top of Nevada?

There's like this town on the southern Utah. And I've done Zumba classes there. The St. George? St. George, St. George, that's where I'm. But the hottest Zumba class I ever taught, it was 115 degrees that were outside. were like almost passing out we had to go into

this air conditioner room but i'll never get that st george utah i'll not ahzuma yeah so so yeah so i'm about an

hour north of st george so in a little a tiny town uh called periwan about an hour north it

sounds like heroin but was a peat okay harrowing Utah, never heard of that before. How long did you

live there until? So I lived there 19 years, so that's where I grew up, and then I went and spent a

couple years up in Canada for working for, or doing a mission for my church. And so did that,

then I went back to the school down in southern Utah, southern Utah University. I say the salukike. Southerne, no, it's the T-birds. See, but what's the Saluke? There's something that's, like, the weirdest, the mascot. Yeah, the T-Roberts, okay. Yeah, it's the most prestigious university in southwestern Utah. What? Which is not very much. It's only a only university in southwestern of Utah. What was your major then? I studied finance. Finance. Okay, well, so what were you trying to be? Just, I liked math, but I liked math, the dollar signs. But I started as a math major, and then I switched to finance. And so I wanted to, yeah, I'm not sure. I wanted to move into some type of business at that time.

I worked through, I worked at an aerospace company to put myself through college. And so I studied

engineering there, but the engineering program wasn't accredited there at the university. So I really

was interested in aerospace. And so I did a minor in engineering and then major in finance.

Cool. Cool. And upon graduation, did you get into that field at all? Yeah. So I went to work for Boeing in which is awesome. So that's why I ended up in Wichita, Kansas. So I went to work in a business development program there in which it's off for Boeing and worked for them for a year. And then the division was sold to a private equity company from Canada. and so I with the spin-off it became spirit aerosystems so if anybody anybody that flies in a 737 those are all made in Wichita nobody knows that but but they're made in Wichita and then they're trucked up to Seattle and they put the wings on up there and so wasn't the 737 someone where the doors were falling off like the the last year. That was after you left.

That was after you left the way. I went there.
