4 Ecommerce Owners Discuss Their Why

I recently joined a group of ecommerce owners on a hiking trip in Utah. It was 15 of us more or less, sharing our entrepreneurial journeys amid stunning scenery. Late one night, four of us gathered around a table for this episode — three former guests of the podcast and me. Mark Taylor is the founder of Warehouse Republic, a 3PL. Mike Tecku started Momentum, a nutritional supplements brand, after selling his Amazon Marketplace businesses. Will Roman is the owner of Chisos, a direct-to-consumer boot brand. My company, Beardbrand, is a DTC seller of men's grooming products.We reflected. Why own a company? Is it worth the hassle?We discussed those questions and more.
