Between tariffs landing faster than expected, Amazon tightening its grip on customer expectations, B2B finally stepping into the spotlight, and APAC proving it’s anything but a “secondary” market, this was a year that forced operators to rethink fundamentals. In this special wrap-up episode of Add To Cart, Bushy revisited the eight conversations that personally shaped how he thinks about ecommerce, leadership, and growth. Not the most downloaded episodes. Not the loudest trends. But the ones ...

Most ecommerce founders dream of having customers who buy again and again. But what if your product’s so good, they never have to? That’s the challenge facing durable product brands like she wear, Ecosa, and Snotty Noses Australia. When your boots, mattresses, or devices are built to last for years, how do you keep growing without compromising quality or purpose?

Zimbabwe-born entrepreneur Dave Thompson, co-founder of Hometime and founder of RunRemote, didn’t grow up around traditional career paths. He grew up around entrepreneurs, everywhere, all the time. That foundation shaped a career built on freedom, leverage and the belief that business should serve your life, not swallow it. In today's episode, Dave shares how he took a Bondi Airbnb experiment and turned it into a multi-country, 200-person operation with institutional investment… and then walk...
For years, B2B sites were the forgotten sibling of ecommerce: functional, clunky, and built for systems, not humans. But AS Colour’s Joe Sharplin is flipping that script. A designer turned digital lead, he’s bringing craft and customer-first thinking to wholesale. And those subtle differences are making a world of impact. In today's Playbook: Why the customer (not the tech stack) should drive every B2B decisionHow AS Colour blends D2C simplicity with wholesale powerThe importance of knowing y...
In this episode of Add To Cart, Jevon Le Roux joins Nathan Bush to share how Keeyu is turning customer service on its head. Instead of managing complaints, Keeyu’s AI agents proactively detect and fix order issues (like stuck parcels, refund delays, and failed payments) before the customer ever asks, “Where’s my order?” Today, we're discussing: Why most CX tools are stuck in reactive mode, and how Keeyu flips the modelThe moment Jevon and his co-founders realized they could automate complaint...
AI agents aren’t just a futuristic idea anymore. They’re showing up in every tool ecommerce teams use, from Shopify Sidekick and Klaviyo to Google Ads and Gorgias. But as David Brudenell, CEO of Decidr, pointed out on Add To Cart, most teams still treat AI like a virtual assistant for repetitive tasks. The real power comes when you teach agents to chase outcomes, not instructions. In this playbook: Why outcome-driven AI agents outperform task-based automationsHow dynamic nudges can respond to...
Zoltan Csaki has never been one to follow the rack. As Co-Founder of Citizen Wolf, he spent nine years building an ethical fashion brand that produced only what customers ordered.

Today, we’re discussing How Magic Fit is transforming Citizen Wolf’s custom-fit DNA into a ...
Every ecommerce founder loves the idea of bundles. More value for customers, more margin for you, right? But the art of bundling goes way deeper than “add two, save ten.” The best bundles don’t just boost AOV: they guide customers through the chaos of choice, making buying decisions feel effortless. Clare Spelta from Bon Maxie has been on that journey. Her approach to bundling isn’t about stacking products for dashboard glory, it’s about understanding how real people shop. In this Playbook: H...

Ringo Chan, Co-Founder and CEO of Ecosa, has spent nearly a decade transforming how people buy mattresses: and now, how they sleep. What began as a bold move into the DTC bedding space has evolved into a global sleep brand with operations spanning Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and beyond.

While most retailers are still wondering how to “show up” in ChatGPT or Perplexity, Heather’s already doing it -and seeing results. Instead of chasing SEO hacks, she’s using Shopify’s Knowledge Base to train the machine. That means teaching large language models (LLMs) exactly how to understand her store, from product details to reviews and policies, so when customers ask “where can I find this near me?”, Nutrition Warehouse appears as the answer. In Today’s Playbook: How Shopify’s Knowledge ...
David Chinn, CEO and Co-Founder of Lexer, knows better than most that retailers are drowning in data but starving for insight. Since 2015, he’s been helping brands like Cotton On and Rip Curl unify their customer data and use it to drive measurable growth. From tackling TikTok Shop duplicates to using AI for smarter segmentation, David and his team are showing what’s possible when retailers actually take control of their customer data. Today, we’re discussing: How first-party data is reshapin...
Most brands still see payments as a cost centre: something to minimise rather than optimise. Caroline Tran from Hello Clever is flipping that mindset. Her approach transforms the payment rail itself into a driver of growth by connecting real-time payments with real-time rewards. “Cashback feels like a gain, whereas discounts feel like a loss.” That simple shift is redefining how merchants view both margin and loyalty. In Today’s Playbook: How Hello Clever is using real-time payments to powe...

Today, we’re discussing: The scrappy early days of launching she we...
Privacy policies might be the most ignored part of an ecommerce site, but they’re also one of the most important. In today's playbook, Marianne Marchesi, founder of Legalite, is turning the traditional approach on its head: “Don’t even bother with T&Cs and privacy policies if you’re not going to do the work in the background to make sure that you’re actually practicing what you preach.” In today’s Playbook How to write a privacy policy that reflects your real data practicesThe simple audi...
