Welcome to Episode 354 of the EcomCrew podcast!
It seems like it wasn’t too long ago when we started recording the first one, but here we are, closing 2020 out with the 354th episode.
Throughout the year, we’ve talked to lots of interesting people in the industry and learned a bunch of new stuff both from their expertise and their mistakes.
To cap it all off, we’ve thrown together a list of the best episodes of 2020. It includes 7 of our most downloaded episodes plus a few other favorites handpicked by our staff.
What did you think about E350 and Greg Elfrink’s story of the Uber for grilled cheese sandwiches? Did the tidbits we found out in the Amazon vs. Congress Hearing in E299 raise your eyebrows? How about that crazy ‘package stabber’ story from our good friend Merideth in E339?

Being among the 100 fastest-growing private companies of 2020 in America is no small feat, but behind the scenes, things aren’t as pretty as they seem.
In this catch-up episode, Victor Delacruz of Christian Planner is back to share his experiences after our hour-long Under the Hood episode a couple of years ago.
We chat about his company’s immense growth in revenue, losing a key business partner, and how he is facing financial challenges that could be fatal to his business.
I dissect Christian Planner’s current situation and discuss Victor’s best options moving forward. Does he need to get his expenses under control to pay off debt? Or is he better off selling the business altogether?

As e-commerce sellers, we can become attached to our businesses, especially when we built them from the ground up. However, at some point in time, we have to let them go to move on to better projects or, as it was in my case, to let go of some of the stress that comes with running multiple businesses.
There are good reasons for selling your business, and our guest for this episode knows them all too well.
Greg Elfrink is the Director of Marketing of Empire Flippers, a company that specialises in buying and selling online businesses. In this episode, he shares seven of the most interesting businesses he had to deal with at Empire Flippers and the lessons he learned from each.
