The Hidden E-Commerce Trend No One Is Preparing For

In this first-ever episode of the Social Commerce Club podcast, the team breaks down a massive shift happening in e-commerce that almost no brand is ready for. TikTok Shop’s explosive Black Friday growth, the rise of 24/7 live streaming, creator-led brands, AI-generated influence, and the death of traditional DTC playbooks — it’s all here. This conversation uncovers why commerce is becoming entertainment, why authenticity is beating AI, why creator armies are outperforming influencer “faces,” and why the next wave of e-commerce will reward brands who move fast and think differently. If you're in social commerce, e-commerce, marketing, media buying, or the creator economy… this episode will show you where the future is heading. 📌TIME STAMPS: 00:00 – Intro & What This Podcast Is About 01:04 – Why Social Commerce Needs a New Conversation 04:00 – The Team Behind SCC & Their Story 07:00 – TikTok Shop’s Black Friday Shockwave 12:00 – Live Shopping: Entertainment Is the Future 17:00 – Authenticity vs AI: What Consumers Really Trust 22:00 – Jake Paul, AI Virality & Creator-Led Brands 27:00 – The Creator Army Strategy vs One Big Influencer 32:00 – Will AI Influencers Replace Humans? 37:00 – AI in Organizations: The Real Problems & Risks 42:00 – Why Brands Must Adapt Faster Than Ever 46:00 – Behind the Scenes: SEC’s Massive Industry Demand 48:45 – Final Words & Episode Close =============================== 🔗 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-west-marketer/ 🐦 - Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordantwestecom =============================== Who am I, and why should you listen to me?
