Today, we're going to speak to somebody who spent 15 years working as a trained social worker,

then pivoted to Amazon. Our trip will take us from retail arbitrage to FBA to even running

your own warehouse.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the serious sellers podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host,

Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is BS-free, completely unscripted and unrehearsed.

It's going to be an organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. And we've got a serious seller

on today. We've got Andy Slamans. Andy, how's it going, my man? Good. How are you doing,

Bradley? I'm really looking forward to hanging out with you for the next half hour, 45 minutes.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Now, you and I met like a year and a half ago almost

at CellarCon in Orlando and like, man, it's, we both like are in a completely different place

since then. We both come a long ways. And it's kind of cool. You know, we were introduced by

Paul Miller, our mutual friend, right? That's right. I think we had lunch at the Mexican restaurant. I can't remember the name of it. Yes, yes. Actually, it was a Caribbean. What was it called? Bahama Breeze. Yeah, that was good. That was good times. Now, that was, you know, again, I just met you a year and a half ago. Your story goes back even further. I always like starting

these interviews with the origin story. And even though I've known you now for over a year, I never

really have gone that far back in time. So were you born and raised in Pennsylvania or were you

originally from? Yeah, so I'm originally from Aurora, Illinois, famous for the home of Wayne's World.

The folks that are my age or older, probably remember that show.

Wayne's World, party time.

Excellent.

It's about 40 miles west of Chicago.

So that's where I was born and raised diehard Chicago Bears and diehard Chicago Cubs fan.

I'm sorry about that.

Oh, I'm sorry.
