Hi friend!

This email might be the only one not selling you something today. I'm just sending this because there's a new deep dive! I'm excited to share this one because it was the first one I recorded in person with someone. Interviewing in person is trickier for tech, but the experience is way better than virtual interviews. Hopefully, there will be a lot more in-person interviews the rest of the way.

What's one hurdle you're trying to get over with your business? Happy to try to help if I can!

Now, here's this week's deep dive:

Here's this week's deep dive:

In 2016, Lior Pozin emailed his list and said he was going to create 100 videos in 100 days all on the topic of dropshipping. All because no YouTuber would talk about his all-in-one dropshipping platform, AutoDS.

There's a lot more to AutoDS's story and growth than just YouTube videos and thankfully, I had the opportunity to chat with Lior about his journey with AutoDS.

We talked about how he started AutoDS as an internal software tool to start, how it becoming the "secret" dropshipping tool was key to growth, and how they were recently acquired by Fiverr.

To understand the full story of AutoDS, let's start at Lior's journey of becoming a dropshipper:

​New Happy Subscribers Podcast​

My friend, Allea Grummert just launched a new podcast, Happy Subscribers! I'm loving it so far and the AI episode in particular was interesting in how to use AI. There's a lot of bad AI advice out there, but that episode had some good tips on how to approach it.

​Threads is allowing you to create your own feeds​

I felt like this was coming based on this continuing to be an idea by thought leaders, but I didn't think Threads would be the first one to implement it. Super curious on how this plays out. One idea I've heard about is creating a marketplace for feeds so you can customize it however you'd like. Maybe that helps misinformation? For marketing, this feels like a wild west moment. This whole topic could be a full deep dive by someone.
