“Selling My Body” for Ads | 2026 Fastest-Growing Brands | AGC: Authentic Generated Content

An entrepreneur is literally selling his body for ad space, Wingstop drops a $27.99 Wing Pass for the NFL season, and 98 of 100 new American jobs in August went to women. It's the consumer's daily show — Ecomm Cowboy — where we break down the stories moving retail and DTC, then sit down with the operators building through it. Today guest host Jimmy Kim (Commerce Roundtable) joins Chris Hall and Colin Dougherty.ON TODAY'S EPISODEHarry Gray — Co-Founder, Noble Origins & Co-Host, The Meat Mafia PodcastWe dig into one of the cleanest examples of a podcast audience converting straight into a DTC customer base — a 7-person, $500K-seed supplement brand running 100% subscribe-and-save with zero retail partners and shipping to 190+ countries — the "business partner first, idea second" origin, the real unit economics of a built-in podcast audience versus buying Meta and TikTok ads, and the revenue number where he'd finally take a retail placement.Isaac Medeiros — Founder, Content ForgeWe dig into building Mini Katana to 30M YouTube subscribers, 10B+ annual views, and $50M+ in sales with zero paid media (because Facebook banned his ads), then selling it — plus why he declared "virality as you know it is dead" and replaced it with nichemaxxing, giving away his agency's operating playbook as a downloadable AI skill, owning a YouTube channel as a hedge against future CPMs, and what transferred from selling katanas to selling software.ALSO ON THE SHOW- 2026's fastest-growing brands (led by Mr. Pibb)- StreetTalk hits 8-figure ARR and a new "AGC" format- Best Oreo flavor ever- Zero Sugar Mountain Dew- Shopify Sidekick x bulk discount code bot- Google Ads AI dashboards go live-------------------------------------Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.ecommcowboy.com/Made possible by:Proppel - https://www.weareproppel.com/ecomm-cowboy-proppelTie - https://meettie.com/TrendTrack - https://www.trendtrack.io/Sathi - https://www.mysathi.io/champions/ecomm-cowboySlash - https://www.slash.com/Richpanel - https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyPostscript - https://postscript.io/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboySeguno - https://www.seguno.com/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyIntelligems - https://www.intelligems.io/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyROKT Aftersell - https://www.aftersell.com/offers?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyProxima AI - https://www.proxima.ai/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyNorthbeam: http://northbeam.io/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyUniversal Ads - https://www.universalads.com/?utm_source=Ecomm+Cowboy+Show&utm_medium=Show&utm_campaign=Ad+Read&utm_id=Ecomm+CowboyFollow Ecomm Cowboy:https://x.com/ecommcowboyhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/ecommcowboyhttps://www.instagram.com/ecommcowboy/https://www.tiktok.com/@ecommcowboyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0q1Pp0rW8j6cehXToNTeJchttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ecomm-cowboy/id1761749693
