In this episode, we does something rare — I get to break down the real P&L of a $5 million DTC brand and show exactly how to think about cost of delivery, fixed overhead, and ad spend efficiency.
You’ll learn:
Why a brand with great product margins can still lose money
How in-house manufacturing + fulfillment can kill your profitability
When to cut salaries, outsource ops, and lean into paid acquisition
The framework I use to analyze any eCommerce P&L
If you run a 7–9 figure eCommerce business and want practical, honest insight into what’s really driving (or killing) profitability, this episode is a must-watch.
