For this special 100th episode of the serious sellers podcast,

there's no one more appropriate than Helium 10's founders,

Mani Coates and Guillermo Puyol.

These two great guys have not only built the leading Amazon selling software,

but they've also had their boots on the ground since the beginning. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the serious sellers podcast by Helium 10.

I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show.

That's a completely unscripted, unrehearsed, organic conversation about serious strategies

for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world.

And I'm beside myself right now because I have the two most awesome guests that we can have

on this show for this special episode 100.

These are the founders of Helium 10 and the original AMPN podcast.

We've got Manny Coates and Guillermo Puyol. Welcome to the show, guys. Thank you. Glad to be here.

Excellent. Now, what I like to do in the beginning is always talk about the origin story of the guest.

You know, to see, it's really interesting to note how all of us kind of have ended up in the same place, but we all come from such varied background. So, so, Mani, first of all, to you, where did you grow up originally? And what's your backstory? Like, what was your educational backstory? So I grew up mainly in SoCal. I was originally born in Spain, moved out to the States when I was a little kid, moved to Texas just recently, Austin, Texas,

and yeah, educational background. There's not a lot there. Went to high school, got out of high

school, got into finance, wanted to be a, believe it or not, a sheriff or wanted to be into

the police business. I thought that would be really cool, but got into finance shortly after, I think

I was 18 years old right after high school and paid really well. Got out of that at about

22 years of age and then got into the whole entrepreneurial side of things. And then there's a

big story behind that. All right. We're definitely going to have to come back to you. How about you,

Gu?

I was born in Ecuador, lived there until I was 19.
