In this episode of The New Frontier, Max welcomes long-time friend and ex-Amazon colleague Stephen Harris, founder of Situna, a global Amazon agency and 3PL powerhouse.
Steven shares his inspiring entrepreneurial journey—from selling cufflinks in his spare time, to working at Amazon, to launching a Private Label Amazon Brand and eventually making a seven-figure exit. Steven offers a candid look at his transition from Amazon employee to full-time entrepreneur, discussing the mindset shift, the calculated risks he took.
He dives deep into the mechanics of successfully exiting Amazon brands—emphasizing that simplicity, strong operations, and clean financials outweigh grand visions of untapped opportunities.
The conversation also covers how Situna differentiates itself in an increasingly commoditized Amazon agency space—through a robust 3PL arm, operational excellence, and a firm grip on profitability. Steven shares lessons on creating effective culture, integrating AI into agency workflows, and how partnerships, referrals, and maintaining a service-oriented ethos continue to drive growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build, scale, or sell in the e-commerce and Amazon ecosystem.

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.
