What do you get when you combine the skills of stock market wizardry, SEO optimization, and a background in venture capital?

You get a company that's purchased over 25 Amazon FBA businesses in the last year alone.

I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that's a completely BS-free, unscripted, and un-rehearsed, organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. And today, all the way from Boston, my guest is, I was about to say,
