In this episode, Ben shares how he:
- Sold out his first product run—twice
- Built a loyal customer base by building in public
- Used Shopify Sidekick to find superfans and boost conversions
- Leveraged AI to do what agencies charge thousands for
- Landed in retail by rallying his TikTok followers
Whether you're launching a product, bootstrapping a brand, or curious about real-world uses of AI in ecommerce, this one’s packed with practical takeaways.
