  • #419 - Major Seller Fulfilled Prime Changes: What You Need to Know Before June 29
    May 15 2025

    Amazon just dropped a major update to Seller Fulfilled Prime—and it’s going to impact every seller using a 3PL or fulfilling Prime orders from their own warehouse. Starting June 29, 2025, new rules are going into effect that will tighten trial requirements, enforce order minimums, and introduce new performance protections and penalties.

    In this episode, I break down exactly what’s changing and how to stay eligible without risking your Prime badge. I also share behind-the-scenes updates from my own business, including:

    • A liquidation project I’m running for a wholesale client

    • Exciting progress with all five of my Black Panther done-for-you clients now that tariffs have dropped

    • And how one of my Weavos clients has already hit $853 in sales halfway through May—outpacing all of April for this revival project

    Plus, I explain how Amazon’s new OTDR protection works using Shipping Settings Automation and Buy Shipping—and why that combo might be your best defense against Prime suspension.

    Want help figuring out if SFP is worth it for your brand—or how to stay compliant with the new rules?

  • #418 - Why Online Courses are Completely Dead Now
    May 14 2025

    I’ve sold thousands of online courses—and I’m telling you right now: the traditional course model is dying.

    With ChatGPT and other AI tools, people can now get 90% of what most courses teach for free, instantly. The information gap that used to justify $997 price tags? It’s gone.

    In this episode, I break down:

    • What ChatGPT has replaced in the education space

    • Why I’m shifting away from selling static courses and into real-time coaching

  • #417 - Tariffs Just Dropped: Here’s What It Means for Your Amazon Brand
    May 13 2025

    The U.S. just slashed Chinese tariffs from 145% to 30%. China just dropped U.S. tariffs from 125% to 10%.

    If you're selling physical products—especially through Amazon or DTC—this is your moment to move fast. Because while everyone else is still refreshing freight quotes, smart brands are locking in container space before the rate hikes begin.

    In this episode, I break down:

    • What the new tariff changes actually mean for sellers

    • How this will impact shipping rates and inventory flow

    • A clip from our coaching Q&A with Burak from Force Get, explaining what’s about to happen with freight
    • A quick snippet from my 1-on-1 coaching call with Natasha about managing risk and reordering smart

    If you want help locking in shipping rates or making inventory decisions during this window, reach out.
