Summary
http://www.tropicalmba.com/amazon2/ This week's episode represents one of the most promising and immediate opportunities for starting a business on the internet.
Dan and Ian have spoken at length about Amazon on this show in the past. Time after time, they have heard stories of success from other entrepreneurs.
A year ago, they explored some of these same ideas on an episode that was one of the most popular and controversial episodes we've ever done.
Kevin Graham joined us for that episode. He runs a portfolio of almost 60 Amazon product review websites, and is the founder of Bulk Buy Hosting. Kevin agreed to speak with us again today, along with Coran Woodmass, whose company TheFBABroker.com brokers Amazon based eCommerce businesses.
On today's show, Kevin and Coran speak at great length about the types of successes that people are having on Amazon, the criticisms of Amazon based businesses, and what kind of opportunities exist in this marketplace for entrepreneurs of all types.

| 0:34.8 | This is the show where we believe building a business is the best way to gain more |
| 0:38.8 | personal freedom and financial security in your life and the lives of your family. |
| 0:44.6 | Speaking of family, boss man's going to have a kid. You announced that on last week's episode. |
| 0:49.2 | I think we can drop the applause effect for that. |
| 0:53.4 | And to top it off, today is your birthday. Wow. What a week. |
| 0:58.4 | Our beards are grain massively. We are squarely in middle life, good sir. This is something that |
| 1:04.8 | I don't agree with. And that's the second time that you said that to me. You said it before we |
| 1:08.8 | started recording this. What are you talking about? It is your birthday. You are having a kid. What are you taking issue with here? The part I'm taking issue with is this |
| 1:16.6 | middle life thing. So when I was growing up, you had like your midlife crisis when you were like 50. |
| 1:22.3 | You bought a red corvette. Yeah. 50. Hear me out. It's irrational, but it's a courtesy. You say, oh, midlife crisis, 50, |

| 1:39.3 | It was a courtesy that you extended people. And so by you saying midlife at 36, I feel like I'm getting |
| 1:45.3 | robbed of something. Although, you know, when you do the X2 number, like it does seem like a |

| 2:08.2 | I don't even know what to say about that. Happy birthday, though. Thank you. Today, we are going to be |
