In this week's podcast, Mislav Beslic shares how he went from losing everything to building a $10M beauty brand in just 10 months.**

At 25 years old, he had already hit $100K/month—then lost it all. Cease-and-desist letters. Frozen funds. Payment processors shut him down overnight. He was left with just $7K in the business account.

What turned everything around wasn't a winning product. It was learning marketing properly.

The skincare product he scaled to **$10M** is one of the most saturated products in ecommerce. He sold the exact same product by speaking to a different customer avatar, positioning the brand differently, and everything changed.

We cover:

• Why your product is almost never the reason you win—and what actually is

• How he scaled one of the most saturated products in ecommerce from **$0 to $10M**

• The avatar research method that turns customer feedback into winning marketing angles

• Why 90% of his ads use people who don't exist—and how AI helped him outscale brands relying on traditional UGC

• The payment processor mistake that wiped out his first business—and how to make sure it never happens to you

• The shift that took him from **$100K/month** to building a **$10M** brand

If you're still searching for a ”winning product,” you're probably solving the wrong problem.

This episode will completely change how you think about scaling an ecommerce brand.
