We have a partner we spend 500k with a year who sends us a $5 mug as a Christmas gift. Every year they get all giddy and ask us to confirm our addresses like they’re about to do us a huge favor. I’d rather get nothing than that slap in the face for you to have my home address

Credit where credit is due. @brexHQ had their cto and several other high ranking team members reach out. One offered to talk to me at 1030 at night (I told him I’m flattered but my gf didn’t share the same enthusiasm). I’m not a customer, but they did a lot of things right.

diving in from almost 10 days of calls with 3pls. people love @weareshiphero. the bar is really really low for doing 3pl sales, half cant even schedule a call. there are incredible operators! @ChadCarleton @austinkreinz @EDunion & others are all awesome!

who are the best 3pl's? Iris has customers who are constantly asking us about best pricing, happiest customers, etc. Would love to put together a deep dive on who the best performers are

Hims is absolutely ripping to the moon and it’s baffling to me that someone hasn’t built a creator brand for shampoo/ conditioner with minoxidil aimed at millennials/ gen z. 1B and growing like almost nothing else on the market
