What’s the one thing holding your business back?

Sean Frank, Jason Panzer, Mike Beckham, and Matt Bertulli reunite for part two of their 2026 predictions to deliver actionable money-making tips for ecommerce brands.

The full squad shares why entrepreneurs have more opportunity than ever, then dives into tactics you can implement today: a corporate gifting platform generating thousands in daily passive revenue, the case for getting off Meta sooner than you think, why plain text founder emails crush designed campaigns, and how AI should be exposing the bottleneck in your business.

They also unpack multi-node distribution strategies, why dramatically lowering international prices can increase profits, and the psychology of value when competitors are right next to you on the shelf versus your website.

Matt Bertulli and Sean Frank sit down with Danny Yeung, co-founder and CEO of IM8. Danny shares his journey from immigrating to San Francisco at age five, to telemarketing at fifteen, to partnering with one of the world’s most famous athletes and building the fastest-growing supplement brand in history.

The conversation covers Danny’s scrappy early ventures in dessert franchises and hotel furniture, his bold move to Hong Kong to build a Groupon competitor that sold within six months, taking Prenetics public as Hong Kong’s largest COVID testing provider, the gut-wrenching decision to cut 2,000 employees down to under 100, and finally landing David Beckham as a co-founder to launch IM8.

Sean Frank and Mike Beckham sit down with Austin Harrison, CEO of Northbeam, and Andrew Kaszuba, Northbeam’s media strategist, to break down exclusive 2025 ecommerce data that nobody else has access to.

Spend trends, revenue growth, and efficiency metrics across every major advertising platform as well as by business category. The data tells a stark story about winners and losers. Small brands under $5 million saw revenue decline while $100M+ companies grew 15%. AppLovin spend exploded 176% year over year while Snapchat collapsed 46%. AI search traffic grew 1,000% but still represents a tiny fraction of total visits.

Austin and the hosts also share predictions for 2026 and explains why infinite AI-generated creative will separate the winners from everyone else.
