New video drops next week.
Topic: Retail Pricing Strategy & Value.
Here's a question to chew on before it goes up: are you pricing your product, or are you pricing your value?
Most brands answer that wrong. The video breaks down why.

This number is going to bother you. New Short is up.
"$18 a Week. That Is All This Product Sells."
This is the kind of number that should make every brand owner stop and check their own numbers. Watch it, then go check yours.

A real product on a real supermarket shelf averages eighteen dollars a week in sales.
Total. Not per day. Per week.
Dropping this Short tomorrow, and if you have a product on shelves right now, you need to see this.

It is live and this one is going to hurt a little.
14% margins can make you rich in the food industry and most people are sleeping on it.
Watch it. Share it with someone in the food business who needs to hear this. And tell me in the comments, what margins are you working with right now?

It's live.
The Fired for PO Backstab Story is up, and it's one of the most real things I've put out.
One purchase order. One backstab. One person lost their job.
Watch it, share it with someone in the food business, and drop your thoughts below. I read every comment.

Someone got fired because of a purchase order backstab in a real food import deal.
And I'm dropping the full story in 2 hours.
If you work in food importing, distribution, or retail buying, you need to see this one before it's your deal on the line.
Set a reminder. This one's worth it.

I joined TJ on his podcast to talk about Costco, meeting Jim Sinegal, and my 9 Pillars framework for food and CPG growth.
This was a fun conversation about what it really takes to prepare for major retail.

📦 Dropping at 4pm today.
60,000 FDA refusals in 2026. The border is data-driven now and food importers are getting hit hard.
If you move food into the US, this one is for you.
See you at 4pm.
