We always recommend Shopify.
We got set up, I think, in less than a day.
“With very little effort, we could just focus on the supply chain to the product development.”
Shopify gives us the ability to customize without the complexity. We can change something without introducing fragility or having to pay a developer.
We're thirsty, total, and we leveled up our business with Shopify.

“Welcome to the daily stoic podcast designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues”
courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. It takes much longer than you think or want. Nobody likes waiting, nobody likes it when somebody else's turn takes longer than you feel it should. You know what? That's just how it goes. The 40s and 50s were rough for a young James Stockdale
“as they were for many young military officers. Due to the rapid expansion and contraction of the”
armed forces after World War II, there was an enormous glut of senior officers that became known as the hump. It took years for these people to retire and make advancement possible for these younger officers. This was frustrating and demoralizing. It was difficult, too, especially for people like Stockdale who were ambitious, ready to lead ready for their turn. But again, that's life. Its mark is surrealist having to wait 20 years for Antanninus to pass the throne to
him. It's the professors and executives who are hanging on to their jobs longer and longer making it hard for new graduates to get those opportunities. It takes longer than you think or want. It just does. And as we've said, this will require you to learn the virtue of patience.
First, to resist the temptation to rush ahead or force things. Second, to learn how you are waiting.
Stockdale didn't know what the waiting was preparing him for. Markets really didn't either, neither do you. But almost everything worthwhile, like wisdom and leadership and mastery and opportunity take more time than we expect than we want. The timeline is longer. The apprenticeship is longer. The climb is longer. It won't be easy. But nobody said, it would be.
