Is Amazon building your business—or are you building Amazon’s? In this 199th episode of The E-Comm Show, Andrew flips the mic on himself to share why he’s spent years warning brands about Amazon dependency—and how omnichannel diversification is the real path to resilience.
From early experiences in his dad’s e-comm business to agency days running dozens of Amazon accounts, Andrew has seen first-hand what happens when a brand bets too heavily on one platform. He breaks down the risks of Amazon reliance, why operational efficiency is secretly a branding tool, and how Buy with Prime + DSP is rewriting the playbook.
This is part war story, part wake-up call, and part practical guide to building a brand that thrives on AND off Amazon.
What You’ll Learn
- Why Amazon should be treated as a customer acquisition channel, not your entire revenue model
- How off-Amazon advertising secretly drives Amazon sales (and vice versa)
The psychology of today’s shoppers—why they bounce between website, Amazon, email, and Google before buying - How Buy with Prime and DSP unlock a new era of omnichannel targeting
- Why diversification doubles your brand’s valuation potential

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.
