Ben Attwood left agency life to create a men’s skincare brand he actually wanted to use. With no investors, no marketing budget, and no prior product experience, he built Clubhouse Skin using TikTok, Shopify, and a lot of trial and error.
In this episode, Ben shares how he:
- Sold out his first product run—twice
- Built a loyal customer base by building in public
- Used Shopify Sidekick to find superfans and boost conversions
- Leveraged AI to do what agencies charge thousands for
- Landed in retail by rallying his TikTok followers
Whether you're launching a product, bootstrapping a brand, or curious about real-world uses of AI in ecommerce, this one’s packed with practical takeaways.
