How to Build a Million Dollar Business with Retail and Online
A Shopify Masters interview, hosted by Adam Levter (as spelled in the captions), with Revenge Of co-founders Jeff Eyser (captioned Eiser) and Joe Myers, who with Joe Kuntz built a Los Angeles pop-culture store that mixes comics, collectibles and pinball machines with an online shop and a neighbouring cafe. The description says they came from television production, self-financed the business, kept their day jobs and reached seven figures with two physical locations. They cover three co-founders, how a pinball hobby became a shop, online versus retail, tracking new initiatives, running a podcast, and consolidating into one headquarters. Sponsor: Shopify, which presents the show and links a free trial in the description. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note is based on the opening, the origin story, a middle section on the podcast and the cafe, the early close and the description, and does not cover every part of the roughly 34 minute conversation. Names follow the video description. All business claims and figures are the speakers' own and are not independently checked.
