This episode is brought to you in association with Shopify.

When we started this podcast back in 2016, I knew the research would be intense,

fact checking every detail, handling each case with care.

That part I was prepared for.

What I didn't expect was just how much work would go into everything else,

editing the episodes,

building a brand, keeping up with social media, even figuring out how to create and sell

merch. Suddenly, we were trying to be producers, designers, marketers and business owners all at once.

Looking back, I really wish we'd had something like Shopify to help us carry the load.

Shopify is the commerce platform trusted by millions of businesses around the world and 10% of all e-commerce in the US.

From big names like Heinz and Mattel to creators just starting out.

Whether you're selling merch starting a side hustle or launching something

completely new, Shopify helps you design a beautiful store with ready-made templates that fit your

style. And when your focus is storytelling tools like Shopify's AI content features are a

lifesaver, writing product descriptions, headlines and even enhancing your photos.

It's like having a creative partner and a marketing team rolled into one.

If you're ready to sell, you're ready for Shopify.
