ABOUT THIS EPISODE
TikTok Shop is testing a Prime-style membership, Jordan Menard leaves Instant Hydration, Facebook launches a dedicated Marketplace app, Arizona State rolls out an influencer degree, and Coca-Cola drops a custom typeface.
It's the consumer's daily show — Ecomm Cowboy — where we break down the stories moving retail and DTC, then sit down with the operators building through it. Today guest host Chase Mohseni (Co-Founder & CEO, CreativeOS) joins Chris Hall and Colin Dougherty.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE
Ashley Overbeek — Founder, Pearle CaviarWe dig into building luxury plant-based caviar as a true 1:1 replacement rather than a vegan compromise, the Gagosian-to-food-founder arc, the 50+ iterations it took to nail the pop and brine without the fish, the powder-blue scallop-shell packaging that breaks caviar's black-and-gold clichés, and who the Pearle customer really is when plant-based and luxury caviar buyers barely overlap.
Mike De Lia — Director of Ecommerce, GrünsWe dig into running on-site, cart, and post-purchase growth through Grüns' hypergrowth — 1M+ members, ~$300M run-rate, one of the fastest exits in wellness history — plus diagnosing intent before you redesign, why on-site testing plays by a slower rulebook than paid social, designing subscription as the default, and how the operator's job changes when the brand hits Target and Walmart shelves.
Ethan Cohen — General Manager, ProximaWe dig into the Google-to-Yotpo-to-Proxima path, what a 76M+ shopper Commerce Graph lets a brand do that it can't on its own, why they blew up the old product and rebuilt top to bottom, turning conversion data into creative briefs without killing the craft, and what makes a data moat defensible when Meta and Shopify build native AI.
