Hey guys, Ian here.

Thanks for tuning in to the show.

This week we have a special show.

Dan is off gallivanting around with his family in Asia.

So I am here with Andrew Udarian of e-commerce fuel.

Andrew and I sat back and we talked about a few things this week.

First, we started the episode talking about bootstrapping, what it means to be a bootstrapper,

how these businesses work, what are some of the differences between these businesses

and funded businesses.

Next, we talked about the drop shipping model.

Andrew owns a site, Right Channel Radio's. That's how we got into this whole thing, is he is a drop shipper. And so we talk a little bit about the drop shipping model and what we think is going to happen there in the next few years. Finally, we wrap up the episode talking about Andrew's community over at e-commerce fuel. It is a community for online entrepreneurs that are looking to build online stores.

And so Andrew and I go into depth about the difficulties of running a community and some of the

challenges that we're both facing.

So I hope you'll stick with us to the episode.
