In this episode of The Friday Habit, Mark sits down with Neil Twa—e-commerce growth expert, founder of Voltage Digital Marketing, and one of the top minds behind building and scaling private-label brands on Amazon.

From going bankrupt to building multiple seven-figure exits, Neil shares the real story behind creating businesses designed to sell. He explains why profit isn’t enough, why most entrepreneurs fall into the “hopium” trap, and how putting purpose before profit transformed his life.

If you’ve ever thought about starting an Amazon business—or if you’re simply curious about what makes a company truly valuable—this episode is packed with insights you can apply today.

🧠 Takeaways:

-Don’t marry products—marry the brand and data.
-Amazon is just one channel: leverage it, then expand beyond it.
-The biggest myth: e-commerce success requires a brand-new invention.
-Sales fix everything—but only if profit margins are real.
-Avoid the “hopium” mindset of chasing overnight success.
-Purpose and values create sustainable growth (profit follows).
-The Five F’s for entrepreneurs: Faith, Family, Friends, Finances, and Freedom.
