Big news: @trylaurence is now a media company.

Today, we're launching The Backend, a podcast dedicated to sharing e-commerce founder and investor stories.

Our core business stays the same: we're still building autonomous full-funnel advertising, starting with Amazon. But we have an opportunity here to build something bigger and provide so much more value to the community through our platform, and I'm so so excited to share this with you.

Our first guest is incredible. Aaron Apple was the first believer in our vision for Laurence, and I'm honored that I get to share his story: he bootstrapped his Amazon FBA business to a $40 million exit starting with just $12,000 in cash, and he's been an incredible mentor and role model to me.

Our episode is live right now! Check us out on:
- Youtube: https://t.co/p1oSEfig7N
- Spotify: https://t.co/wIESzqpJGj

We're just getting started.
