It is officially Go Time…

I left Cubicleville to immerse myself fully in what I am building. I’ve gone full-time on this.

This space is incredible and by incredible…

I mean the people and stories are incredible.

With a background in debt financing and payments for consumer brands. I’ve consulted more than 500 brands in my time. Many of which needed more than just Capital…

My goal is to help founders and brands in any way I possibly can. Whether that be with their tech stack, getting capital, breaking into retail, creating relationships, or…simply venting - The community is here.

It’s a lonely journey when scaling a brand. My mission is to make it a little less bumpy on the way to the top.

With that being said…

Whether your brand is just an idea or you’ve done $50M in sales - I am currently accepting membership applications for Always Early Club.

Shipping Matter

Last week I had the opportunity to go to an event with a handful of founders and service providers.

One of which was a shipping service provider who made a very interesting point…

Your shipping matters.

The presentation when your item shows up is important (Depending on the brand).

If your product shows up scrunched or out of sorts, customers remember this.

Kay does an excellent job of this, they have made it so that their boxes show up and deliver an experience very similar to being in the actual store purchasing the item.

Consider this when you ship next.

Bonus*

You can get refunds from UPS and FedEx for late shipments from their end.

Mega Hack.
