Have you ever considered buying back a business you once sold? In this episode, I sit down with Greg Howlett, a seasoned eCommerce veteran, who shares his remarkable journey of repurchasing a business a decade after its sale. We dive into the strategic insights and personal reflections that guided his decision, exploring how past experiences can shape future opportunities—and create a really cool story.

Listen as Greg discusses his approach to rejuvenating a once-thriving brand, the challenges of adjusting to an evolved market, and the nuances of navigating business with family. We also touch on broader topics like the future of eCommerce, the importance of building trustworthy brands, and the delicate balance of personal and professional life.
