Hot takes. Cold truths. Real eCom advice.
In this week’s episode of The DTC Hotline, Richard “The Professor” Gaffin is joined by Tony “The Chopper” Chopp (VP of Paid Media) and Luke “The Weatherman” Austin (VP of eCommerce Strategy) to answer the toughest operator questions—live from the Hotline.
They tackle:
• How price increases in response to tariffs are affecting brands, supply chains, and consumer sentiment
• Why “creative fatigue” is Meta’s most important hidden metric—and why finding ad #6 or #7 is so hard
• How brands should weigh risk vs reward when responding to Texas’s new SMS law
• The real way AI is impacting the workforce (hint: it’s strategy, not production), plus Tony & Luke’s personal workflows with it
This is where your eCommerce questions get answered—direct, practical, and unfiltered.
