    In this episode of the Further Faster podcast, ProfitPeak Co-Founder and CEO Carla Penn-Kahn joins Bede Moore to challenge one of the biggest myths in modern e-commerce: that revenue growth matters more than profitability. Drawing on her experience building, scaling, and exiting multiple DTC brands, Carla breaks down why EBITDA, cash flow, inventory management, and true unit economics are the real drivers of sustainable growth—especially in a post-COVID, capital-constrained world.
