Welcome back to the PODCast!

Can combining In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A lead to the ultimate 4th of July feast? Join Josiah and Travis as they recount their holiday adventures filled with quirky food experiments, pickleball matches, and dazzling fireworks. While Josiah enjoyed a fun-filled weekend, Travis shares his unfortunate tale of dealing with a back injury that almost sidelined his plans. Despite the setback, he persevered and managed to join some of the family activities, adding a touch of resilience to the festive (yet way too drawn out) stories.

That said, none of you came to the podcast for any of that. 😎

The Main Event topic provides some "tough love" in the form of encouraging you to make a business move that you've probably been thinking of for quite some time. While talked about on the show previously, the guys dive into the practicalities (and simplicity) of using Upwork to find the perfect Virtual Assistant (VA) for your needs. Learn how to identify tasks for delegation, navigate job postings, and start small with manageable projects. Whether you need help with design, listings, or bookkeeping, you don't need to feel overwhelmed. Drawing from personal experiences, Travis and Josiah encourage you to seize the opportunities that online talent marketplaces offer, helping you break free from procrastination and focus on growth.

Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, the guys share about the latest news at Etsy HQ. You may have received an email with a link to a video from Etsy CEO, Josh Silverman. In the video Josh clarifies their commitment to creativity on the platform, as well as some specifics to image and mockup requirements as it pertains to Print On Demand.

So tune in and get ready to be challenged! (Or you could have your VA tune in for you 😉)

On this week's show, Travis and Josiah delve into the world of POD dropshipping. While in many industries, dropshipping could be a dirty word, for POD sellers it seems that it's the norm. Or at least the way many start out. With so many options for where you can get your products and without the heavy cost of machinery and inventory, dropshipping is a low barrier to entry for most. In this episode, the guys share all the things you'll need to consider before moving your new business down this path.

Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, the guys share about how Alibaba and AliExpress can be a wealth of information and potentially help you find a new product to bring to market that many won't have access to.

On this week's episode of the PODCast, Travis is solo (sorry for all the Josiah fans out there, but he'll be back next week!) Since Josiah wasn't available to record, the episode is a little shorter, but still carries some golden nuggets if you dig a little. As the title suggests, there are things you may not know about POD (or at least haven't given much thought to) that can really help you scale into the future when it comes to your business. Take a listen and think about implementing one or two of them!

Pål T. Naess is Gelato's Senior Vice President of Growth Projects working with PR, Communications and Sustainability. He was kind enough to take some time to speak with Travis and Josiah on this week's show. One of the most interesting concepts from the show that Pal brought up is "location based production on demand." This one phrase contains so much - sustainability, speed of delivery, cost of delivery, etc. That said, it's only one of the golden nuggets that Pal shared on the show. 

In addition to the nuggets of wisdom, Pal also gave us a discount for those of you interested in trying Gelato out for yourself. All you have to do is sign up with the link provided and use the code to get 50% off your first order!

On this week's show, the title really tell it all. Travis and josiah simply go through a list of ten things you can (or should) do to make sure you're optimizing your Etsy store.
