Building an Amazon Success Story With No Knowledge - Marcial Stewart - Amazon Legends - Episode #193
The guest on today's episode is Marcial Stewart. He is the definition of an innovator and entrepreneur. Playing in a gaming tournament, John Madden football to be exact. He lost a big prize pot and bragging rights to his hands being clammy from all the intense gameplay. His fingers slipped off the controller ten yards from the endzone, resulting in his running back getting hit and fumbling the football. He was devastated by the loss, and then proceeded to create a gaming glove designed for video gaming. His goal is to take this #1 ranked video gaming glove nationally and enter other markets such as the golf market, developing golf Sleekz, and fashion Sleekz. In today’s episode, he discusses building an amazon success story without knowledge.

Quote of the Show:What was so amazing was that my product was heard all the way on the 4th floor of the trade show. I had tons of business cards and my sleeks were the most talked about product of the gaming market and I didn’t even know it.
