Join Brian and Robin Joy as they reflect on their energizing experience at the 2025 Proven Conference. From saltwater adventures in Florida to standing-room-only sessions in Orlando, this episode is packed with both heart and strategy.

They unpack the highlights of their powerful two-day workshop, built around the core pillars of predictability, sustainability, and scalability—achieved through consistency, frameworks, and systems. You'll also hear behind-the-scenes insights on impactful tools like QuickFinds, 3P Mercury, and the Arbitrage Card, plus moving stories from coaching clients and first-time attendees.

Whether it was connecting with community heroes like Gail Treend or tossing stress balls in the final session, the real value—what they call “WPAs” or “Worth the Price of Admission” moments—came from inspiration, transformation, and relationships.

Tune in for practical takeaways, emotional depth, and a strong call to action: don’t miss your transformational moment.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What documents should I retain when selling online?"

Did you know that we have a team of VA's running virtually our ENTIRE back end operation for our e-commerce businesses for just a few dollars per hour?

They live in the Philippines where the US dollar spends like $5-$6 so we give them fantastic jobs for just a few dollars per hour!

They manage all the painful, monotonous aspects of having an online business and they are ESPECIALLY talented and experienced with all aspects of the Amazon seller models we are running (and teaching in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and our coaching).

This includes- replens, RA/OA, wholesale, IP complaint management, account health, section three reporting, PPC, brand building, A+ content... I could go on and on.

Today I talk with our coaching director Nathan about some of the mind blowing projects our team is tacking right now and how YOU can put our team to work for you on YOUR business even if you are "small" or new to selling.

You'll go a lot further with a team - and we have a great one to offer you!

PPP - proven product partnering (a module inside the ProvenAmazonCourse.com that teaches you how to find some of the 100s of thousands of brands that are in desperate need of help on Amazon and get paid to refer them to us, or help them yourself)

Today's guest is a coaching student who started a few years ago as a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student. He now has a very successful business and a flexible schedule and we both agreed, "We want this for other families!"

He's got a fantastic system for finding underserved small brands that he can sell on Amazon and he explains all the details. He has a very profitable reselling business and he breaks it all down!

He's also in the early stages of launching his own brand although he's in the early stages of that adventure.

He's hoping to make it to our TheProvenConference.com event at the end of May as well - we discuss that too! If you can't make it to Orlando for this event, be sure to get livestream access and join the 1,200 member facebook group where all attendees and virtual guests will be interacting the last three days of May! (You get all 45+ event recordings as well!) If you can't make it to Orlando May 29-31st 2025, plan to attend VIRTUALLY - details at https://theprovenconference.com/livestream25/
