Lessons Learned in Business Resilience with Toby Truman - Ep 728

Join me for a discussion with Toby Truman of Discount Mylar Bags about how he grew his business on Amazon, ran into roadblocks, and ultimately shifted focus beyond the Amazon community. Lots of lessons learned in this show today! Featured Event: The Midwest Preparedness Project, April 26-28 Today's Sponsor: Discount Mylar Bags We are pleased to welcome a new sponsor today! I thought it would be fitting to announce this sponsor the same day we speak with its founder. Discount Mylar Bags has been providing quality mylar solutions and other packaging for over a decade, as well as linking folks up with food preservation systems such as the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and more! A family run business, DMB loves its customers and they operate out of Tennessee. in fact, early on in Holler Roast's live, Toby from DMB reached out to me to offer to connect me with coffee packaging at a high volume rate, but without having to store 50,000 bags in the Holler. For five years, we have exclusively sourced the Holler Roast bags from DMB. It is without hesitation that I welcome Discount Mylar Bags to our sponsorship rolls!
