In this episode of The New Frontier, Jo takes a deep dive with veteran Amazon Seller Ben Webber, who has built and scaled an incredible nine brands to eight figures. The conversation centers around Ben's recent presentation on "deserved ranking" — a concept focused on how products naturally position within Amazon’s search results based on value, not just aggressive advertising. Ben breaks down how understanding buyer intent and nuanced positioning within sub-niches can unlock major profit potential, offering real-world examples like rebranding compostable bowls for feeding stray cats.
Ben also shares his evolution from arbitrage hustler to building a systematized, scalable business, including the importance of working closely with manufacturers and hiring full-time VAs to build a loyal and process-driven remote team. He highlights how the ability to delegate, standardize, and focus on "good enough" execution was key to scaling multiple brands successfully. From building strong supplier relationships to encouraging innovation within his team, Ben offers a wealth of operational wisdom for sellers aiming to grow beyond the solopreneur stage.
The conversation wraps with a forward-looking take on AI’s expanding role in e-commerce. Ben shares how he’s using custom GPTs, AI schedulers, and semantic SEO tools to automate and scale smarter — while also exploring underutilized strategies like buying underperforming patents. With insights into Amazon’s future under Rufus and a potential case study brand launch on the horizon, this episode is a must-listen for any Amazon seller serious about strategic growth and adaptation in a fast-changing marketplace.

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.
