@mbertulli How about a larger size for cat litter? Wife (notice I didn't say "we" 😂) has been using plastic bags for that shit (literally) forever... May not fit under the barxby brand if solely focused on dogs but the need is there.

@soundslikecanoe I wouldn't import dropship orders into Shopify itself but rather into your OMS. From there it can feed into 3PL, ERP/accounting, etc. Think of it as hub and spoke systems architecture, Ecommerce platform is a spoke, dropship is a spoke, POS, etc. All feed into the hub.

@mbertulli Wow - looks amazing well done Matt and team. Gonna need to pick your brain on your crowdfunding strategies!

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@BenMarks Congrats Ben on a magnificent run. I'll never forget that cover letter - it was one of the first, and definitely one of the best that I've seen since. I for one am not surprised of what you've accomplished. Proud of you bro!

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@peter_sheldon @Shopify @amazon Pretty sure you have to give the @shop app permission to read your emails - hence how it knows the @amazon order deliveries

@Julian Consider it cost of experimentation 😉 - every hire you make is based on a thesis - sometimes thesis is right, sometimes wrong - in my testing the "hire superstars" thesis was considerably outperformed by the "hire tomorrow's superstars" thesis. Develop, nurture, cultivate, grow.

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@Julian Some of the best superstars I've ever hired, out of hundreds over 10+ years, were "diamonds in the rough" that didn't command "superstar salaries" - in fact, those that looked like superstars during recruitment that we paid like superstars underperformed against these hires.

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@Julian All of them were rewarded as they untapped their potential accordingly (often salaries jumped 2-3x over a few years) but based on my experience I'd take chances on diamonds in the rough than people that might look like superstars up front and result in a much bigger $ to find out

@BenMarks @slkra @ericvhileman @ecommerceaholic @richbaik Can we officially adopt a power-couple name now and name our child something like "Butterfly Rain"?

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@jprovisor You were second on my list to call, Jon 😉

Excited to (finally) announce that after some time off, and deep contemplation on the beach, I'm switching gears to build up a new D2C brand. I can only hope to achieve the same success as the last 12 years have brought. A new day, a new dawn.

@mattladydigital @mbertulli @jaimeschmidt @mrsharma @aditi_sf @andrewjfaris @bzises @digitallynativ @web @chriscantino @soundslikecanoe @ryan_caldbeck Thanks @mattladydigital - this one made me lol "change your Twitter bio to 'founder'" 🤣

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

I've started to map out all of the activities needed to launch my brand into a Gantt, any others that have done this care to share? @jaimeschmidt @mbertulli @mrsharma @aditi_sf @andrewjfaris @bzises @digitallynativ @web @chriscantino @soundslikecanoe @ryan_caldbeck

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@andrewjfaris @jaimeschmidt @mbertulli @mrsharma @aditi_sf @bzises @digitallynativ @web @chriscantino @soundslikecanoe @ryan_caldbeck Thanks Andrew. I'm starting from the launch and working backwards... I need a brand, product, content, website, fulfillment, service, marketing - the detail is in every little thing that's needed from ground 0 to launch. After I get it to a point, I'll share it out for feedback.

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@jbillingsley Thanks Jason - we've got a pretty strong thesis and I'm ready for a new, different journey!

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

@mbertulli @jaimeschmidt @mrsharma @aditi_sf @andrewjfaris @bzises @digitallynativ @web @chriscantino @soundslikecanoe @ryan_caldbeck Well my head is starting to spin thinking of all the things I need to get done in order to launch 🥴. Gantt chart or not - just need something to map out all of the activities I need to do leading up to launch.

[Kevin Eichelberger @kpe]

On that note, I've started to subscribe to more content, and people, focused on building D2C brands - always open to more recommendations if you have any. Others have paved the way and I have lots of new things to learn.

@Quentalto @blueacornici Don't play games Quentin - we all know where that "taco" falls on the list of swag. Thanks for waking me up from my Twitter slumber though 🥱
