Customer Reviews
Top notch information
If you are a new Shopify owner do yourself a huge favor and jump on this podcast. Nick Truman offers a fantastic selection of experts and their advice as well as sharing his experience from the past 13 years in digital marketing. His message is very light on selling his own company and very big on useful information. I can’t even count the number of things I’ve learned it from listening to Nick and his many guests. I if you’re like me, then you don’t know what you don’t know. This podcast will go a long ways towards bridging your knowledge gap. Thank you, Nick, for doing such a great job.
(And he’s great at answering emails, too.)
Knowledge is Power
I have recently started a business and stumbled upon this podcast while looking for informational podcasts to listen to while on my morning and evening commutes. I have 13 years experience in the digital marketing space helping other with online marketing strategies and e-commerce, so naturally, I believed I knew what it took to succeed. However, I realized I’ve never been my own client using my own time and money to build a brand a grow a business. All I can say is WOW! This podcast is a pure diamond in the rough and I have devoted countless hours of listening to Winning with Shopify, and taking action offline. The amount of knowledge given for free is amazing. I truly appreciate each and every episode and have re-listened to multiple episodes. This podcast does not disappoint and will help you create a better experience for your stores and arm you with the power to build your business if you utilize the information in the right way. Caroline and Nick, I can’t thank you enough. Keep going!
Meh.
I wish there were more women guests, it fees like it’s all dudes all day. Would love to se some more diversity in the podcast guests.
