@JasonPanzer You’re heating up kitchens at HexClad while I’m over at Chilipad cooling down beds. Always looking to connect with other home/DTC folks.

Looking to connect with other DTC home focused brands - furniture, bedding, etc.

@MehtabKarta Yikes

@SchmelebeckPPC @jchdotme @officialsleepme Working on that.

@jchdotme @officialsleepme Tbh I’ve never heard of this brand and feel like most people who know about 8sleep don’t either

why do people choose 8sleep over @officialsleepme ? the latter requires no subscription, and you can do half a bed (which is all that most couples need). i’ve been using chillipads for ~10 years. zero complaints and rock solid operation.

@inerati Chilipad Dock Pro works offline for this reason. It will remember your schedule and you can change the temp with on device buttons if you want. Also, no monthly subs.

@noahkagan Going to feel like $25k being reinvested for growth.

Entire AppSumo company is switching from Zoom to Google Meet. Saving $25,000 / year. How do you think it'll go?

@zachmstuck Cool story

I started my first eCom brand when I was 19. It was called PIF. It was essentially toms shoes, but for apparel. For every unit I sold, I would donate the same but in a kids size to a boys and girls club near the customer. My Mom pulled out this note today that I wrote her and my dad. I borrowed $3,000 from them to start PIF. This was a lot of money to them (I grew up lower-middle class in the midwest). This business led to me landing a full-time gig at a marketing agency when I was 20 and allowed me to drop out of college. My goal since the day I wrote this note, was to repay them 1000x. Seeing this made me super emotional…but was a huge reminder of why I’m grinding so hard…to support and take care of family. Yes the new vehicles, the new home, the bigger warehouse…all rad and fun part of the journey. But this is my true WHY.

@noatuck @piamikhael Congrats!

The good news: I proposed to @piamikhael yesterday 🥰 The bad news: it didn’t teach me anything about b2b sales 😐

Congrats! Keep on riding fast. Keep on sleeping cool!

@noatuck @socialsnowball @dotdigital Congrats!

Today marks the most surreal milestone of my life: @socialsnowball has officially been acquired by @dotdigital (LON: DOTD), and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement. I originally started this business out of my own frustration: As an ecommerce brand, there weren’t any good platforms for partnering with creators and customers as affiliates. I decided I was going to change that. Over the past 5 years, what started as a simple post-purchase referral widget has turned into the leading creator and affiliate management platform for Shopify brands. What started as a sketch on a piece of notebook paper is now trusted by over 2,500 leading brands like True Classic and G FUEL. What started as a 20 year old kid's idea has forever changed the way ecommerce brands approach influencer marketing. Over the years we have accomplished so many incredible things that I am deeply proud of: - Created the first influencer-affiliate platform for Shopify brands - Invented the concept of Safelinks, which is now a standard feature in every major influencer platform - Built a full time team of 25 incredible people - Were the first influencer platform ever to integrate with TikTok Shop - Built an amazing IRL community of influencer marketers - Created a high production video course academy to teach influencer marketing strategy to the world - Partnered with hundreds of amazing agencies - Spoke on stage at countless events all over the world But what I am the most proud of, is the fact that we did all of this while bootstrapping and remaining profitable. In the early days, we were rejected by every VC we spoke to. Instead of giving up, we powered through and figured out how to make it work without taking on funding. In hindsight, this was the best thing that could have ever happened to the business. Now, we are partnering with DotDigital to take things to the next level. To our customers, partners, affiliates, and the entire DTC community: expect to see a lot more of Social Snowball. This acquisition is enabling us to move at a significantly faster speed than was ever possible, and we have an insane roadmap that I can't want to share more on soon. I will still be leading the ship, but now I have more firepower to work with than ever before. To the Social Snowball team, I have so much gratitude for all of you. Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for taking a bet on Social Snowball. What we have accomplished is genuinely insane, borderline impossible, and you all should be truly proud of yourselves. And of course, thank you to Milan and the entire DotDigital team for believing in what we have built. It has been such a pleasure to work with you guys over the past few months. Here's to the next chapter. Full press release linked in the replies. 👇

@JoshJDurham Congrats

Our son Chip arrived yesterday! Everyone’s doing great.

Liquid Glass in iOS 26 is bold, but I’m not sold yet. Beautiful? Sure. Practical? TBD. Hope it hits different in real use 🤷‍♂️

What a graph by the Google Ads UX team. Performance Max spend finally mapped out in what appears to be a Mario Kart track. 😂 blog.google/products/ads-c…

Figma makes it pretty. Shopify makes it sell. Google Analytics UX confuses. Excel makes it make sense. Slack makes it chaotic. Basecamp makes it official. Zoom helps us connect.

New Shopify app is on 🔥well done @Shopify

If your doctor isn’t talking about food, toxins, sleep, movement, and stress, it might be time to find a new doctor.

@Austen That’s the temperature I have my Chilipad on to start waking me up.

Not gonna lie I think 100 degrees Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature

@aaronrubin 🤣 logistics are extra spicy in 2025

You need to stop shipping Canada Post today because Canada Post workers are scheduled to strike next week and any packages you ship today might get stuck. Why are they striking? Because logistics in 2025 is too easy, we need some issues to spice things up.

@LeadingReport Can’t wait to hear the details tomorrow.

BREAKING: U.S. has reportedly struck a trade deal with China following discussions involving Scott Bessent.

@nicksortor Where’s the popcorn. Fascinating to watch. 🍿

🚨 NOW: President Trump reacts to Jeff Bezos and Amazon backing down on “tariff prices” "Jeff Bezos was very nice. He was terrific. He solved the problem very quickly and he did the right thing."

@JDVance He dropped the natty! 🤣

I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it
