In this episode, Aaron Schwartz (Orita) is joined by Matt Fier (QDL), Zac Fromson (Lilo Social), and Elliot Kovac (Dispatch) to talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes of modern e-commerce.

From tariff chaos and supply chain delays to cautious consumer behavior and the collapse of one-time purchases, this is a crash course in how top operators are shifting from growth-at-all-costs to retention-first, margin-smart strategies.
