    That's awesome. SaMo is the new tech town in SoCal! I'm there often myself and wouldn't mind this granted there's parking. Haha. Feel free to post up your office's address or a nearby restaurant we can meet up for next month. Or feel free to PM me as well and I'll update the post.

    You can't go wrong with SoCal! Especially San Diego. I think by its geographical location, it has the best weather in the country. I'm still trying to move down there when I can. Fell in love with the place since I visited years ago. I have friends who moved from the mid west and northeast...

    Thanks. In regards to 3. I asked because the culture is different for sure. I'm placing my first order that's only about $2k in value with a Chinese manufacturer and the communication is great...I email them, they'll reply ASAP, but I have to follow up with deadlines. IE if I was promised...

    I doubt you can dominate any market being a new comer on a limited budget... There's no shame being 'just a player' in the field, IE Reebok pulled out of the basketball arena since Nike got that on locked (yes, they still have retros, but no new models). They jumped into the Xfit arena a...

    Hey Kenric, I know you've been in the game for a while. I just have some questions over your journey since I'm relatively still a newbie in this. 1. Did you use Alibaba since you first started in the late 2000s? How has contacting manufacturers changed since then since there are now quite a...

    Sounds about right to me. I paid two different manufacturers to send me samples. These items are lightweight and small, think phone cases. I paid $40-50 each for next day air. You have to understand they probably get tons of inquiries for samples. This somewhat weeds out the ones not...

    I saw the posts from Facebook and couldn't be prouder of you, bro. And I agree....I was sitting across from you at the couch. There were a couple of conversations going across the couches, and you with Kung Fu Steve took over because of the passion and intensity in the voice. An...

    Awesome. I'm interested to hear about your story since I'm into fashion myself. If you're not on this website yet, you may wanna take a look at it. By far, the best forum for men's style online, the men's equivalence of Purseforum, www.styleforum.net What makes you different from say...

    Hey Walter, I hope you are well. This is more of a general question, but I would love to hear your input since you have been in this field for decades. I listened to an interview with Jack Ma, and he said something like Alibaba is still in its infantile stage. In 15 years from now when...

    Agreed. I'll put in my 2 cents since I'm going through this myself. I had two manufacturers sent me their samples. The samples were pretty much free, but shipping is expensive...which I didn't mind. I'm sure they get tons of inquiries so you need to show that you're serious about this. I...

    Since you've been in the scene for years now, do you still use a freight forwarder? If so, do you pick one that is local to you? My final sample is coming in this week, and I'm planning on going with my first order as agreed with the manufacturer. The samples were easy as they were small so...

    Hey bud, Great story. From the posts, I see you sourced a supplier from S. Korea and sell them on your website and Karmaloop. I have a few questions since I grew up with the scene and have some friends in the industry too: 1. How does your logistics work? With grills...I know if you go to...

    Hey Tony, Our first meet up will be for lunch on 4/2. Place is in the original post. Sorry, man...the IE is far from everywhere :( I looked at places around LA, Santa Monica, and OC...it looked like OC is still the closest drive for you, but still quite far. If you come, save your cheat...

    Hey Kenric, How do you break up your inventory? I know most of your sales are from Amazon at the moment. So do you send it 85% of your warehouse to Amazon for FBA and keep the other 15% in your warehouse for orders made directly from your website? Thanks!

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Eskil! It was nice meeting you at the summit a couple of weeks ago. I read this thread when I first joined the board, and completely forgot it was made by you! If I remembered then I would've asked you about this in person...darn it! Are you still doing this project or are you focusing...

    Can't wait until next year. It's amazing how the book and the summit helped change my way of thinking. Been in beastmode ever since I got back, hoping to have awesome updates throughout the year leading up to next year's event.

    20k cash. What business would you start?

    EXECUTION 
    I agree. Even though I've been on this forum for several months, it completely changed the way I look/see things. People, most of them, are lazy and want to be spoon fed. I have friends, some that are highly educated and hold post doc degrees, that would say I need to know how to flip the...
