    🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday. In the very first episode of The Truth About Reselling, hosts Amanda Anderson (⁠@amanda.commonthreads⁠) and Sam Strom (⁠@samanthastorms⁠) get candid about how reselling actually works in real life — motherhood, burnout, ADHD brains, algorithms, money fears, and all. This podcast series is for people looking for a flexible, lucrative career — one that can adapt to real life instead of demanding burnout, perfection, or hustle-culture nonsense. In this episode, Amanda and Sam share how two very different paths led them into reselling — and why it stuck when traditional jobs didn’t. Amanda breaks down her journey from a failed COVID-era boutique to a six-figure reselling business across Whatnot, traditional platforms, and social media, all while raising four kids. Sam opens up about stepping away from corporate tech and VC-backed startups, navigating motherhood burnout, and finding a more sustainable way to earn. They talk candidly about: Why reselling attracts ADHD and non-linear thinkersPosting daily vs. selling smarter (and what algorithms actually reward)Pallets, thrifting, bins, arbitrage, and high-end sourcing — without gatekeepingThe emotional weight of financial dependence and career pivotsWhat really happens when a reselling video goes viralWhy there is no single “right” way to resell — and why that’s powerfulWhether you’re exploring a career pivot, building a side hustle, or scaling what you already have, this episode sets the tone for the series: honest, practical, and refreshingly human.
