Clear the Shelf with Chris & Chris How to Reinvest Amazon Profits the RIGHT Way (Nick Huber's Playbook)
Most Amazon sellers hustle hard to build cash flow. Very few know what to do next.
Nick Huber calls it The Hamster Wheel: running faster, working harder... but not actually building lasting wealth.
In today’s episode of The Clear the Shelf Podcast, Chris Grant and Chris Racic sit down with Nick Huber. An entrepreneur, author of The Sweaty Startup, and expert at turning boring businesses into million-dollar empires.
We break down:
• How to reinvest your Amazon profits smartly (even if you’re still scrappy)
• Why “boring” businesses are your secret weapon for long-term success
• How Nick would grow wealth if he were starting over with $50K–$200K a year from Amazon
• The “10 Minute Drill” Nick uses to vet every new business idea
• Why self-funding your growth changes everything (and how to balance risk)
• How to build leverage — systems, people, and partnerships — without losing control
• Personal brand building tips to attract deal flow and talent (even if you’re introverted)
If you’ve ever felt trapped — like you're grinding but not getting closer to true financial freedom — this episode is a must-watch.
Because reinvesting wisely beats hustling forever.
