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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
