let's talk about... BUSINESS. Some more notes: DTC businesses are notoriously hard to make work, and credit is due with these guys because it does seem like they do have some successful items. But I personally have a problem with this business model of affiliate link based serial product importing/reselling on Amazon as it feels somewhat disingenuous... AND to sell a course promoting it as a successful and attainable business venture just kinda... seems bad, man.
