Your host, Mike Bryan, talks with the Co-Founder of Joey'z Shopping, Charles Chakkalo. Charles, a traditionalist, prefers his coffee with whole milk and a dash of sugar. Charles' entrepreneurial spirit was ignited early on, inspired by his father who started a retail business after immigrating to the country as a refugee. Charles and his brothers began their entrepreneurial journey by selling discounted Coca-Cola in school, turning a neat profit. Their venture expanded in high school when they discovered Amazon retail arbitrage, leveraging the school's daily UPS pickups and free printing services to sell items online.

Charles and his brothers invested their life savings into their business, traveling up and down the East Coast buying and selling items online. They started with retail arbitrage, focusing specifically on light bulbs. When asked for advice on e-commerce strategy, Charles emphasized the importance of having a clear path and understanding the components of pursuing a specific niche. He illustrated this with the example of a glow-in-the-dark garlic press, explaining the need to understand the industry, target audience, and keyword strategies. Charles recommended tools like Data Dive, Jungle Scout, and Helium 10 for data gathering and informed decision-making. He also stressed the importance of knowing the communities and influencers related to the niche.
