It is the most wonderful time of the year! Not only is it a time to get together with friends and family and enjoy each other’s company, but it’s also the time of year when Bill D’Alessandro and I look back on our predictions from a year ago, see where we were massively off, and make even more predictions for the coming year.

So get comfortable, grab your holiday favorite drink, and get ready to see how egregious our predictions were from last year, and speculate with us on what 2023 will bring. We’ll be talking about where we think the markets will be headed, what we expect to see from the labor market and domestic sourcing, and what’s up with Shopify in the coming year. We also share our AI-related predictions for the new year and chat about some really cool tools that may just change how we all run and manage our businesses.

Dalia is also a newer member to the eCommerceFuel community, and she’s been an incredible member in the short time she’s been part of the community, so I wanted to get her on the podcast to learn more about her, what she’s up to in eCommerce, and her interesting journey to owning Sixty61.com.

Listen in as Dalia shares how she first acquired the brand after coming from a background in tech, how that background has benefitted the business and growth, and how she has been able to leverage multiple platforms to sell her product. We also discuss the exclusive distributor agreement she has with an Italian exhaust company, how she went about securing that agreement, and whether it has lived up to the hype. If you’re interested in learning more about what it’s like selling on Amazon, eBay, and Walmart, or how to get into an exclusive distributor agreement in your industry, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
