There’s never been awards for entrepreneurs; so we created them. They are called
@Shopify
Milestones.
Since April, nearly 5,000 merchants, including
@aloyoga
, have been awarded a Milestone for reaching 100K or 1M lifetime orders.
The Milestones are not only epic…
My new DTC brand, Mystic Mastic Gum is launching this spring!
This tree sap gum has dramatically improved my skin and jawline.
We are sourcing it directly from a pristine Greek island and then health-consciously flavoring it for the American gum enjoyer.
This stuff has a ton…
I believe there’s a massive and easy to implement CRO boosting placement on a Shopify store that almost no one is looking at.

- Give your store social proof.
- Restate your satisfaction guarantee.
- Make it vibey
This is your brand’s last…
This is insane and sadly I doubt there’s anything we can do about it.
I designed both the band and the artwork on the band. Now we have knockoffs directly copying my band design, artwork, and even using the exact same color name as us, selling at a price that isn’t at all…
I launched my 2nd DTC brand last weekend! Started as a side passion project after falling in love with mastic gum.
It’s 100% pure tree sap crystals sourced directly from a family farm on the island of Chios, Greece, packaged in a sexy golden can of steel.
We call it Chisel Gum.…
7 years ago, I started cutting up socks in my dorm room and (poorly) hand stitching them onto Apple Watches. Since then, we’ve bootstrapped ourselves to nearly 8 figures in revenue and had a whole lot of fun along the way.
Instead of a screenshotted Shopify analytics flex, check out this live recap of how today went for us at
@braxleybands
!
This year has been a grind. The bootstrapped DTC founder career path is challenging, especially lately, but this is the most positive, uplifting community.
My friend Matt started a comedy sketch creative production company for DTC brands so naturally we had one made for Braxley.
I haven’t gotten to act like this since high school theatre 🤣😎
Lmk if anyone wants an intro!
First time meeting our manufacturers today after 5 years of business together! They truly care about their workers, the product, and us. Glad to have them 🙏
We are finally getting Braxley into retailers! This retail trade show was fun but an entirely different ballgame from DTC ecom. Any wholesale success tips are welcome! 🙏
I want to sincerely thank the entrepreneurs on here who share their wisdom for the sake of helping others. Y’all have taught and inspired me beyond measure over the years. A rising tide raises all ships. 🚀
I'll be co-hosting this star studded event with the great
@AaronOrendorff
today, LIVE. See below for details and don't miss out. Aaron guaranteed you'll double your Q2 EBITDA if you attend.
Outsourcing common customer service emails and questions (Tracking orders, sizing questions etc) has saved us 3+ hours a day while employing a full time, fully fluent customer service rep for less than $20 a day. (~4x the Philippines min wage)
These 2 college roommates & dropouts made a $100M D2C brand.
Jake and Kramer made luxury accessible with MVMT.
MVMT has sold 1.5M+ watches and has a 5M+ social media following.
The story of how they did it🧵
As a designer-founder,
@orenmeetsworld
is one of the creators I most appreciate seeing on my feed. Pure entertainment and actionable insights from this guy. Thanks for the shoutout!
Every year we convince people to dress up as
@braxleybands
for Halloween by awarding participants with a free watch band or their choice.
It builds community, gives us a lot of organic IG exposure, and the morale boost it gives is 1000% worth it!
@austriker27
We went through something very similar as well. It was challenging as hell but we made it through, I have no doubt you will too. Here to support and chat through it with you my man.
@mordechaihoff
@Sendlane
No regrets. The support is awesome and I like the UX/ reviews, email, sms all in one place etc. Looking forward to the improvements coming to custom data reporting / analytics dashboard soon. I would say that’s the one thing I miss post Klaviyo but I know the team is on top of…
@Cody_Wittick
Economies of scale across entities - effort and tasks, fractional employees/assistants, and if one has a rough quarter there’s another one to diversify the portfolio
Who knows what this is?💙

I chew on mastic gum after every meal to clean my teeth and to support my oral microbiome as a whole. It also helps to strengthen the jaw and support the nasal passageways. 🦷🫦
As a clinical herbalist, I hold mastic gum in…
