I'm your host, Josh Hadley, where I interview the top business leaders in e-commerce. Past guests include Kevin King, Michael E Gerber, author of the E! Myth, and Steven Pope. Today, I'm speaking with Ehud Segev, the brain behind the new technology Logie AI, and we are going to be talking a lot about increasing your sales on Amazon through influencer and content creators, and how it's going to fundamentally change the e-commerce game over the next decade. This episode is brought to you by Ecom Breakthrough Consulting, where I help seven figure companies grow to eight figures and beyond. Listen, Ehud, I started my business back in 2015 and I grew it to an eight figure brand in seven years, but I made a lot of mistakes along the way. That made the path of getting to eight figures take a lot longer than it needed to. There were times where I had a lot of self-doubt, whether I could be a leader and manage a team of people, or whether my brand could survive and become a household name, or if I could even have the financial stability to continue to stay in the game. Josh Hadley 00:01:05 I wish I would have had a guide along the way that would have helped me overcome some of those obstacles and know the next steps to take. So for our listeners that have hit stumbling blocks or roadblocks and want to know the next steps to take their business to the next level, then go to E-comm breakthrough. That's E-comm with two M's to learn more. And as a special bonus to my podcast listeners, this month I'm giving away one $10,000 comprehensive business strategy audit session at no cost.

Josh Hadley 00:02:26 I am super excited to have you on the show today, because what you are going to share with everybody is going to be game changing, and some jaws are going to drop as people listen to this podcast episode. So if you're driving, hold on tight, because this is going to be some deep knowledge that we get into and it's going to be really exciting. So ahead, before we dive into all of that, why don't you provide just a brief background about how you, you know, got interested in the Amazon space over ten years ago and what led you to kind of where you are today in kind of helping be the brains behind this new software, Logi AI that we're going to be diving into. Ehud Segev 00:03:09 That's a great question. And, you know, I, I didn't even know what Amazon was when I was just back in Israel, in Tel Aviv, flying all over the world to perform my show as the mind reader, mentalist and all that, all these things that I did, I was performing a lot.
