    #1128: We watched the 'Amazon Is Dead' video. Here's why we're buying more inventory

    When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.   Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.     Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is a Section 3 Amazon seller audit, and is Amazon actually punishing sellers?"

    Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student just quit his corporate job right as we recorded this episode.

    #1125: Why Month 3 Feels Like a Black Hole (And Why It's Not)

    You did the work. You sourced it, prepped it, shipped it. So where's the money? In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood phases of building an Amazon business: the quiet period. That stretch where your brain is screaming "nothing is working" but your pipeline is actually filling exactly like it should.   They break down the real timeline most new sellers experience versus the one they imagined, why your first shipment is basically the first pancake (nobody expects that one to be good), and what manufacturing concepts like cycle time and lead time have to do with your FBA results.   Plus, Robin Joy drops a James Clear ice cube analogy that might change how you think about quitting, and Brian explains why the sellers you admire at month nine aren't smarter or luckier. They just didn't turn off the heat at 31 degrees.   If you're in months one through four and wondering whether this thing actually works, this one's for you.   "A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence." - Jim Watkins   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "When is it VERY unsafe to sell textbooks on Amazon?"

    #1121: Why the 'perfect' Keepa chart is killing your profits

    Think you want that silky-smooth Keepa chart with stable pricing and thousands of units flying off the shelf every month?   Think again.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy finally share the data they've been sitting on, real numbers that prove what they've been doing and teaching for years: slower-moving products are where the opportunity actually lives for small sellers.   Here's what nobody tells you: Those "perfect" high-velocity listings? That's where opportunity goes to die. Meanwhile, the big players can't operate in the space you can. Volatility is their enemy. But for the agile seller? It's your greatest competitive advantage.   Brian breaks down the actual pricing spread data across velocity bands, explains why "messy" charts signal profit zones (not danger zones), and reveals how to read Keepa like a treasure map instead of a warning sign.   In this episode: Why faster velocity = tighter pricing zones = no room to operate The data showing 30-35% pricing spreads in slower-moving products How to use "capital protection" to test listings with confidence The Alex Hormozi video game analogy that reframes failure as mastery What Thomas Edison knew about opportunity that most sellers miss   Ready to stop competing where the big guys dominate and start playing where they can't?   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC establishment?"
