What happens when a $700 million distributor buys a top competitor, and everything starts to unravel?

In this episode, he breaks down how to consolidate brands without losing SEO, why marketplaces aren’t always the answer, and what ecommerce leaders should finally stop doing in 2025. If you’re managing scale, transition, or transformation, this one’s for you.
