Windows Down With Weicks

On this kickoff episode of "Windows Down with Weicks," Host Andy Weichers and guest Andy Mullinex get raw and unfiltered about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, from risky buyouts and near-bankruptcy to doubling their agency and pivoting into new markets like streaming TV and AI-aware web content. They share candid lessons on client diversity, authenticity in marketing, adapting to shifting platforms, and why making business more convenient for customers can make or break you today.

Weicks vents about a long, exhausting week running Whatnot shows and wrestling with low margins while focusing on toys and shoes. After a rough day and careful number-crunching, they experiment with slowing their auction style, which raises per-item revenue and produces a small but meaningful victory, prompting more changes ahead.

On this episode Weicks shares raw reflections after a difficult week of declining sales and store closures, explaining the tough decisions and emotional weight of letting employees go. He outlines a business pivot to Whatnot and pop-up events focused on kids' toys, clothes and shoes, and the need for multiple income streams to recover. The episode ends on a hopeful note celebrating small victories—especially his 13-year-old daughter leading a successful shoe sale—and urges listeners to find and share their own wins.

Andy sits down with longtime friend Cory Platt for a relaxed, late-night conversation about business ups and downs, friendship, family, and the small joys like Cookout shakes and road-trip adventures. They also dive into Cory's life as a heavy equipment operator, personal growth from shyness to confidence, and how honest, no-nonsense relationships help you move forward.

In this episode Weicks opens up about a brutal sales downturn and the emotional weight of leadership while running DaaBIN STORE and a Whatnot channel. He explains how analysis paralysis and the fear of disappointing others kept him stuck, and why he decided to stop trying to please everyone. After testing many product categories, he reveals a strategic pivot to focus solely on kids' toys, shoes, and clothing on their Whatnot channel, urging other business owners to choose a targeted approach, accept difficult decisions, and take action instead of overanalyzing.

Weicks launches his podcast "Windows Down with Weicks" sharing a candid backstory: dropping out of college to chase sales success, building and losing businesses, raising a child with special needs, and founding multiple companies including DaaBIN STORE. He frames the show as a daily vlog-style space to discuss the highs, lows, and practical struggles of entrepreneurship and family life. In this episode Andy outlines plans for interviews, business updates (notably a recent steep sales decline at DaaBIN STORE), personal reflections, and the mindset he uses to keep moving forward. He invites listeners to join him on the journey as he rebuilds and adapts, offering raw honesty and real-world perspective for other small business owners and people feeling alone in their struggles.
