In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with three community members — Cindy (a social services professional who designed her own handbag and built it into a growing brand), Nathan and Etienne (two former supermarket store managers who hit $10K within their first 30 days selling pet products). We break down their journeys, expose the real blockers holding each of them back, and go deep on the questions every scaling founder faces: when to expand, when to stay focused, and why complexity kills more businesses than competition ever will.

If you're new to this channel, my name is Sasha Karabut. I went from $137,000 in debt to building two 8-figure eCommerce brands. Through my company Ecom Capital, I've generated over $75 million in client revenue and helped 1000+ brands scale their businesses profitably.

In this exclusive workshop, I break down two wildly different founder journeys: Harsh (truck driver turned $26K/month beauty brand owner using 100% AI ads) and Joyce (corporate refugee turned $10K/month in 2 months with dropshipping). We expose their biggest blockers, reveal the exact CPO framework that 10X's conversion, and show why the path from $26K to $100K is about focus, not new products.

I paid $200,000 for 12 hours in a boardroom with Alex Hormozi. Here's why it's worth it. In this episode, I will break down the Alex Hormozi workshop experience with raw honesty. Not the polished highlights. Not the "here are the 10 lessons." This is the unfiltered conversation about what actually happened, why the investment made sense, and what specific insights are worth implementing immediately if you're building an ecommerce brand.

What's stopping you from starting your ecommerce business? It's not money. It's not lack of opportunity. It's fear.

In this episode, Sasha and Hamen address every excuse, every doubt, every "what if" that keeps people paralyzed. They've heard them all. And they're calling you out on them. Because the truth is: these fears aren't real. They're just the result of not having knowledge, experience, or exposure to people who are actually doing it. This episode is about stripping away the doubt and replacing it with clarity. By the end, you'll understand exactly what's actually possible—and what's been holding you back.

In this brutally honest episode, Sasha and Hamen break down the harsh realities they've observed across nearly two decades of building and scaling ecommerce businesses. These aren't feel-good motivational talks. These are the specific mistakes that keep founders broke, stuck, and struggling for years longer than they need to. From time allocation to ignoring problems, from over-investing in stock to chasing shiny objects, this episode pulls back the curtain on what's actually killing your business. Some of these realities might sting. But understanding them could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of your life. Listen carefully—especially the last one about retention.
