Maximize Your Profit Margins When Selling Online, David Schomer
David Schomer and I discuss the evolving landscape of e-commerce, focusing on the competition between Amazon and Shopify. (One is much better than the other, and it's not even close.)
We explore the importance of data-driven decisions, profit margins, and customer relationships in building a successful online business.
David shares insights on the challenges of selling on Amazon, the benefits of owning customer data through Shopify, and the significance of diversification in business models.
We also get into the importance of hiring the right team and the value of veterans in the workforce. (We know the Air Force is best!)
We also discuss David's journey from accounting to entrepreneurship. He discusses the importance of e-commerce and conversion rates in business growth, as well as redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur in a team setting.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
