In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of Evans Richards, who began his eCommerce adventure as an 11-year-old selling on eBay in 2004. With 19 years under his belt, Evans has climbed the ranks to become one of Amazon's Top 100 third-party sellers. As we examine the obstacles he overcame while expanding his own fulfillment operation from a handful of daily orders to a staggering 500,000 direct-to-consumer orders in 2022, we'll also discuss the future of online retail.
