Hello from Las Vegas, Nevada! We've been back for the past few weeks and as they say, there's no place like home. In this episode, we're going Under the Hood with Roye Okupe, who's one of the few people who've been lucky enough to be interviewed on CNN about his journey and his ecommerce business.
I don't want to give away too much here but Roye has one of the most amazing stories about his journey from where he was born, to how he discovered his niche and the rollercoaster ride in between. Today's episode is a little long, so if you'd like to skip ahead to the actionable advice, skip to the 30-min mark where we talk about the necessary steps for improving Roye's ecommerce business.
If you want to learn more about Roye and his business, head on over to his website at YouNeek Studios.

It’s goals time. Before I go into 2019's list, revisiting the 19 goals I’ve set up for myself and my company is something that I like to do before we get too deep into the year.
Some of these goals were aimed for myself personally and for the company. And in this episode, we’re going through each of them – the ones we achieved, the ones we failed, and the ones that we got through halfway.
Before going through this latest and final update of the progress made on my 2019 goals, here are the links to all the previous ones to get you up to speed.
E243: 2019 Goals, A Recap on the 1st Quarter
E279: 2019 Goals, After 8 Months
E289: 2019 Goals, After 11 Months
2019 consisted more of ups than downs but for some reason, when you hit those low points, they feel really heavy. We may not have achieved some of these goals but we were still able to achieve some of the really important ones, like selling ColorIt and being more location independent.
So, here goes.
I'm definitely glad to cross out most of the items on this list. They were things that in hindsight, might have been necessary and I just didn't know it yet. Being more location independent for the second half of 2019 restored my thirst for stability, so in 2020, I'd definitely like to be more rooted where I am.

Welcome to the Ecomcrew podcast! It's been a month-long trip overseas. We visited several countries in South East Asia and even stopped by Australia to catch the Australian Open. This particular episode was recorded while we were still in the Land Down Under. But now we're back in America, ready to jump into the year with a refreshed mind and a hunger for growth.
In this episode, I sit down with Dave Alexander to talk about his ecommerce journey, how his first ecommerce business failed and how he persevered through it all by making his third product called Lazyleash, a product that's five years in the making.
For all the people that are just starting out on their ecommerce journey, I think this will be a great episode for you because Dave shares how perseverance is super important when you're first venturing into the unknown, especially in ecommerce. However, if you're a seasoned seller, and you've crossed the 1-million mark, I think you'll still find this entertaining after you hear what Dave's first ecommerce idea was.

Hi, Dave here. The spread of the 2019 Novel-coronavirus (2019-nCov) has been sowing fear and panic in people throughout the world for weeks now. The latest statistics from the WHO have recorded 14,557 cases of the disease, with an overwhelming 14,411 originating from China.
The Chinese government enforced lockdown on the city of Wuhan, the outbreak’s epicenter, and also in other cities in the Hubei province, including Xiangyang where ecommerce entrepreneur Cameron Walker is quarantined with this family.
In this episode, we get a firsthand account of what daily life is like in a city forced into isolation, as the rest of China frantically works to contain the virus. Cameron also talks about the potential impact the Coronavirus outbreak can potentially have on ecommerce sellers importing their goods from Chinese manufacturers.
