Here’s a wake-up call—while most Shopify brands are stuck tweaking what’s already broken, the fastest-growing stores are quietly rewriting the rules with community-driven IP, AI-powered efficiency, and support systems that scale without chaos.

Inside this edition, you’ll get founder-to-founder insights and frameworks you can swipe today:

• Discover how a lean team turned 25,000 customers into a support moat—using a “unified inbox” and AI to slash ticket volume, boost satisfaction, and turn support from a cost center into a growth engine.

• Get the billion-dollar community blueprint: See how brands like Pop Mart built empires by owning their IP, engineering scarcity, and letting superfans drive advocacy and growth—so you’re not just selling products, but building a movement competitors can’t copy.

• Unpack the AI moves separating winners from wannabes: Learn how top operators deploy AI to eliminate their biggest time drains, automate the mundane, and deliver VIP experiences at scale—while laggards wait and watch the operational gap widen.

• This week’s Tool of the Week reveals how to recover up to 98% of your “lost” visitors—turning anonymous browsers into high-value, marketable contacts without annoying pop-ups or privacy headaches.

If you’re ready to step off the growth treadmill and build real leverage—transforming support, community, and AI into uncopyable moats—this edition is packed with actionable frameworks and next-move strategies you can implement before your competitors even see them coming.
