E333: The Present and Future of Ecommerce Amidst the Pandemic

When we first heard of the existence of COVID-19 earlier this year, most of us didn’t think that we would still need to be at home past the middle of 2020.

Aside from our ability to be outside and be with people, the pandemic has also impacted the economy significantly. Many businesses had to declare bankruptcy, and millions of people around the world were laid off.

In this episode, Mike sits down with Brian Miller, the CEO of Easy China Warehouse, to discuss the effects of COVID to ecommerce businesses and where he thinks ecommerce is headed post-pandemic.

• How honest China is regarding the number of cases -  9:05
• Brian’s quarantine story - 12:49
• How factories in China are doing - 16:20
• Consumer sentiment and how it is affected by the pandemic - 17:35
