So Jordan, we're really pumped to have you on the show today. Why don't you tell us a little bit about your background and yeah, we can just jump right into it.
Jordan West 00:02:06 - 00:02:46
Yeah, absolutely. I'm super excited to have this conversation. So I have actually been on this podcast before. We were talking a little bit earlier that this is actually where I learned the difference, or I learned that I was wrong when I named my podcast Secrets to Scaling Your Commerce Brand. I have a lot of people in the Amazon Walmart kind of world reaching out all the time to listen, and I'm like, oh, no, siri, this is about selling on shopify directly. And then I realized I'm like, I was using the wrong term all this time. You think you're smart, and then you realize there's a lot smarter people out there. Anyway, you guys nailed it with a DTC Pod. I mean, that's what I should have done.
Blaine Bolus 00:02:46 - 00:03:08
That's so funny. Yeah, I mean, it's funny how lingo evolves and I mean, I even feel like what we're seeing in ecommerce D to C whatever you want to call it. It's like brands are now moving more into Omnichannel and retail and all this sort of stuff. So hopefully in a couple of years, we don't look back and play what were we doing? And calling it the D two C. Pod, I think you're good for now.
Jordan West 00:03:08 - 00:03:59
I looked at the Google Trends just recently, and D two C not that is not it. DTC is the one that if you want search volume, that's the right one. Like, buy along and also Ecom. DTC still beats out ecom. So just so you guys know, I'm always looking on Google Trends for stuff anyway. Yes, I've been in this world since 2014. 2015. Accidentally chose shopify when it came to a baby clothing store that my wife and I had. Really glad that I did. Great mistake or great accident? Happy accident that happened there and then I've been in this world ever since, and I absolutely love this world. We own a bunch of brands as well as an agency in the space that's more on the growth side. And I'm obsessed with it. I love it so much. I love seeing brands grow. It's part of what I do.
