Episode notes

Back in February, I introduced the EcomCrew Roadshow on this podcast. Since then, I’ve taken the RV and traveled to a handful of states to help entrepreneurs solve some real-world struggles associated with running an online business.

I gave you a peek into these one-on-one sessions in a March episode. Today, I’m happy to bring our first official episode of the EcomCrew Roadshow. I recorded this one with Cory Stout at his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Cory is a familiar name, especially to our regular listeners. He’s a Premium member and has been on the podcast a few times to talk about his main brand, Woodies, and another business he just acquired this year.

True to the Roadshow’s purpose, I sat down with Cory and dissected his business down to that last item on his COGs. We also discussed some ‘low hanging fruit’; opportunities that can help him grow his wooden sunglasses brand beyond the 7-figure revenue mark.
