In 2000, I graduated from Stanford Business School. It was the dot-com boom. Everyone in our class was giving the middle finger to Goldman and McKinsey so that we could take sweet jobs at iVillage, eBay, and Pets.com. Then the bust happened. Within six months, half our class was unemployed . . . begging Goldman and McKinsey to take our calls! I was living on a futon in NYC at the time. I loved modern design. On a whim, I decided I wanted to start my own line of furniture. But I had to know the customer first. And what better way to know that customer than to open a shop, online, and start selling other furniture while I designed and built my own line. This was 2001. I cracked open Dreamweaver (there was no Shopify, no Magento) and built a rudimentary site in PHP/MySQL. That part was easy enough. But now I needed product. So I went to a design show in NYC, introduced myself to some brands I liked, and talked them into working with me. I’d take the order, and they’d fulfill it. I’d give them a cut. It wasn’t called this at the time, but drop-shipping was born. Not sure I did it first, but I certainly was early on. Drop-shipping enabled to me to have limitless inventory—and to start collecting free traffic via limitless SEO optimized pages. I leaned in. Learned SEO (Thanks Rand Fishkin and Moz) and was off to the races. Years later when Adwords was launched, I could add gas to the fire—buying clicks for pennies. (ah the glory days) My company—DesignPublic.com—grew like a weed. The only online-only competitor to your local design shop. My career in ecommerce was born. Fast forward ten years, and I sold that business to a PE group. My career in PE was born too. DesignPublic had its ups and downs and was heaps of fun at the time. It ultimately led to My First Million (singular) and a zillion lessons learned that I’d tap on my next businesses. Sometimes a little recession ends up working out and pushing you in a new direction.

I'm thrilled to share that @getpostpilot made an appearance in this year's Inc5000. I'm not much for public awards like this in general... ...but I have some history with this one. 25 years ago I read @Inc religiously. As a Navy lieutenant, I'd read over it when it was shipped to my home at sea, the USS Carl Vinson--dreaming of one day running my own business. And years later as a new entrepreneur I'd pour over the Inc500 listings, trying to think through how I might one day recreate their success. In one of those listings, I read about ecommerce retailer @backcountry. It was one of the ONLY DTC brands in there in those days (maybe THE only one?). And it was the perfect model for me and my fledgling startup @designpublic So on a flyer, I emailed their CEO and founder John Bresee asking for advice. He sent back a one sentence email: "Get on a plane, come visit us and I'll show you everything." So I got on that plane with my co-founder @sinadjafari. John opened the kimono and showed us all about how to build a 100M brand online. It's through him I met my original ecommerce network--@sambruni and @DustinRobertson and Jill Layfield (google her). John left me with one key to success in ecommerce: "pressure over time, that's it." He became a 20 year mentor, RIP. So--that's my Inc5000 story. Back to the present. I'm happy that we are now in that same ranking that I once poured over religiously, where I once found John and Backcountry and set me on my 20 year ecommerce journey. And I'm proud of the team at PostPilot for helping us build this rocket-ship company. Onward.
