Hey, I'm Steve Hutt. DTC founder and former Shopify Merchant Success Manager. Since 2016, I've been helping store owners grow with strategies that hold up over time.
Right now, we're living through the biggest shift ecommerce has seen in years. AI is changing how customers find stores, how they shop, and how they decide what to buy. Every week, I sit down with Shopify experts and operators to work out what's actually working in this new era, with the real numbers and decisions behind it. Practical guidance you can put to work this week. New episodes every Tuesday.
