#61 Ed Hodge | How To Launch, Scale & Exit An Ecom Brand For 7 Figures Within 2 Years

In this episode I had the chance to sit down with Ed Hodge, Ed is the Co-Founder of wellness brand, MiHigh. a wellness brand with a focus on selling portable sauna blankets.

After running a long list of products through a strict product criteria they landed on portable sauna blankets which would be the hero product for MiHigh. This early research & testing was so effective that the brand would go on to generate over $1 Million is sales within their first 4 months before growing into an 8-figure brand that they would exit within 2 years of launching!

Ed's path into ecommerce was an interesting one. After trying the university thing and quickly realising it wasn't for him, he essentially undertook a self-prescribed ecommerce internship where he strategically took certain roles and worked in the specific industries that he felt gave him all the skills he would need to be successful in business.
