Just wrapped an incredible podcast episode with Jasim, the visionary behind a $100M/year Amazon brand—starting from selling college textbooks at 15 to now acquiring, scaling, and partnering with top e-commerce brands.
Here are 5 game-changing takeaways from our conversation:
From Arbitrage to Acquisition
Jasim started by flipping textbooks, then scaled to wholesale, and now buys and partners with brands—offering inventory financing, full-channel management, and explosive growth on Amazon, Walmart, and Target.
Pitfalls of Hyper-Growth
Expanding too fast cost him early on—warehouse leases, hiring missteps, and siloed teams. Now, standardization, communication, and KPIs are non-negotiable.
The Power of Partnerships
Unlike typical agencies, Jasim’s team buys inventory upfront and manages end-to-end for brands. Their sweet spot? $1M–$20M brands hungry for scalable growth.
AI as a Force Multiplier
From translating global team comms to generating ad creatives and split-testing ideas, AI has supercharged their efficiency. (P.S. Google’s real-time translation tool is a game-changer!)
The Future of Amazon Sellers
With Amazon increasingly going direct-to-manufacturer, Jasim’s focus is on adding unmatched value—through supply chain mastery, data-driven creative, and inventory dominance.
Final Wisdom:
“Double down on what works. Cut the 80% of SKUs that don’t move the needle. And build teams that run toward challenges, not away from them.”
