In this kickoff episode, we bust the biggest myths, break down the dropshipping model step-by-step, and hand you the exact blueprint to go from “I kinda want to start a store” to “I just made my first sale.” You’ll learn how to pick a niche, find reliable suppliers, build a storefront without needing a coding degree, and launch with real traction. Smart systems, automation, and zero fluff—that’s how we roll.
