Know someone Shopify merchants need to hear from?
Nominate a founder, operator or expert with a real ecommerce story, a strong point of view and practical lessons Shopify merchants can use.
Great guests bring experience Shopify merchants can use.
The strongest conversations come from people who have built, operated, tested, failed, learned and developed a clear point of view.

Ecommerce operators
The people behind retention, conversion, operations, merchandising, customer experience and repeat revenue.
Experts with original insight
People with firsthand data, tested frameworks, deep expertise or a strong idea that challenges standard advice.
A great guest does more than tell their company story.
We are looking for a conversation with a clear idea, useful proof and a takeaway that can become a practical 1% Win for listeners.

Real proof
Numbers, examples, firsthand experience, research or lessons from the work.
A clear point of view
An idea the guest can explain, defend and make useful for merchants.
One memorable 1% Win
A practical improvement listeners can take back to their business.
The sharper the idea, the stronger the nomination.
These examples show the level of specificity that makes an episode worth listening to.

Usually not a fit
