I'm Zoe, I own my con brass, which is an upcycling home-wares business, and this is why I switched to Shopify.

One of my biggest challenges was the lack of support when I really needed it,

and it would always slow down the momentum of my business. With Shopify, I could get hold of a real person quickly,

and not only would they solve a problem I had, they'd also give me the tools to feel empowered moving forward.

I felt like I didn't even know who my customers were. Thanks to Shopify analytic tools, I feel more confident with the products I'm creating

and the sales are actually reflecting that. With Shopify's theme editor, I can easily share elements of who I am in my shop,

and have full control of how my brand is represented. I spent nearly seven years on other platforms,

and I'm kicking myself and not making the switch earlier. Not only do I know my customers better,

but they know me better as well. Start your new journey today on Shopify.

I don't know. We never planned anything on the podcast. We just talk. All right. Cool.

What are you feelings? What are you guys feeling right now? I'm feeling sleepy.

Are you guys sleepy? The show last night was, I mean, I had no idea. And we were one of the people who helped put on the event.

I still didn't know it was going to be like a flashy. I just thought, oh, it's in a club.

I don't think I realized it at the time. Oh, no, it's actually at Austin City Limits.

With Russian Acrobat. With Russian Acrobat. And then the production facility there is insane.
