It’s always great to talk about what makes us successful and things that helped us make it and we can’t exclude the failures and problems that helped us grow. So, in this episode, we are talking about success in regard to failure and setbacks.  As they say, you learn more from failure than success. So, let’s dive into failures Jamie experienced and learn from them. As every success story includes failure, we’ll tackle how to get through it, the challenges of bouncing back and how well you might be able to handle the same challenges not only with Amazon but with any Ecom businesses.    In This Episode: [00:30] We welcome Jamie Davidson [02:25] Why do we want to talk about failures and setbacks?
