Servant, Nerd, Operator... Scaled ecomm to $50mm/yr, now a 3PL - The Good Company - 2mm 📦/year. Never too busy. Very lucky. Building in the Midwest.

Who is investing heavily in LEAN in a fulfillment or 3PL environment?. Not for the manufacturing part of the business, for the fulfillment side. I'll pay you handsomely for your time.

I use em dashes all the time and now everything I write looks like AI did it. I always put spaces around them though -- like this. Without--like this looks weird--no?.

Why should our brand use a 3PL instead of fulfilling in-house?. Because one of us has to live in Southwest Missouri and it doesn’t sound like you want it to be you.

Two years to find your next 3PL.
The final version of the passed Big Beautiful Bill ends de minimis entries for all countries on July 1, 2027. Finally an actual notice period we can plan around!.

Happy birthday to @michaelpatron0!!. If ecom and YOLO had a baby, it would be you 😅. Thanks for always finding the loop holes and telling the truth, even at your own risk.

Very grateful to be included!.
I've always thought there was a clear pathway for brands to save money on fulfillment costs: go bi-coastal with a 3PL distribution center on each side of the country. The logic is simple: ship from closer to customers, pay less in postage by avoiding Zones 6+. Makes sense,.

It might feel haughty or tacky to put your accomplishments in your bio. Actually it does. HOWEVER, the relevance of the connections and the productivity of conversations dramatically improved once I did. Do it. I don't know who you are without it.

We *might* be opening up a chance to take on another client this year. We only work with clients we can succeed with. We say no to almost everyone. Fewer, deeper relationships+. If you need a 3PL so good they have a waitlist, drop me a line. Now is the time to make a move.

Excited to watch this evolve.
We've just launched Yuzu - and I’ve never built anything I’ve believed in more. 18 months. Hundreds of broken printers. Late nights, near-misses, and moments we almost gave up. But the vision never changed:. Fix what happens after someone places an order. I’ve worked across

There’s not a white boy on earth that can hold a candle to a Mexican. Sod, roofing, farming…. I had a 60 year old from Michoacan named Jose Yepez that would work circles around my summer break college boys.
