In this episode, Sasha and Hamen sits down with  Shelby, a Brisbane-based ecommerce entrepreneur who built a multi-six-figure caravan and camping accessories brand from a simple garage project.

In this raw and honest conversation, you'll discover how Shelby navigated patent issues, managed rapid growth without abandoning quality, and balanced being an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three. The trio also dive deep into Black Friday strategy, pricing optimization, split testing, and the critical importance of prioritizing ruthlessly when scaling.
