TMBA 233: Stop, Drop(ship), and Roll in the Profit

Four steel poles and the sea

This week, Ian catches up with us from Mexico to talk about the struggles and successes we've experienced with our portable bar company over the last nine months. We'll talk about our experience displaying our new flash bar at a recent trade show and the pros and cons of drop shipping as a business model, among several other topics.
