Hey, it's John. I want to talk to you about Shopify. A lot of people talk to me about starting

podcasts. This podcast is 10 years old. It's in a different place from a lot of podcasts because we're

obviously part of a non-profit institution and it's not a way that we are seeking to earn our livelihoods.

But a lot of people look at this and say, this is

something I can really do to create a business and run the business and do it in a really

comfortable, practical, and serious way. I've got to wear a lot of different hats when you

start your own business. It can be very intimidating.

But one of the things that I know from a lot of people is that if your to-do list is growing and growing and growing,

and that list starts to overrun your life, you need a tool that not only helps you out,

but simplifies everything.

That can be a game changer.

For millions of businesses, that tool is Shopify, the commerce platform behind millions of

businesses around the world and 10% of all e-commerce in the U.S. from household names to brands,

just getting started. You get started with your own design studio with hundreds of

ready-use template Shopify helps you build a beautiful online store to match your brand style. You can

descriptions, page headlines, and even enhance your product photography.
