In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with three community members - Priyanka (a corporate product manager with no business background who built an ecommerce brand from scratch while her family thought she was wasting money) and Dean and Jill (a couple who combined their passion for dog rescue with a pet product business and just hit their biggest month at nearly $30K). We break down the Five P Framework for scaling from $30K to $100K, why doing more things kills more businesses than doing fewer things ever could, and the exact mindset and measurement behaviors that separate founders who make it from those who quit one bad week too early.

If you're new to this channel, my name is Sasha Karabut. I went from $137,000 in debt to building two 8-figure eCommerce brands. Through my company Ecom Capital, I've generated over $75 million in client revenue and helped 1000+ brands scale their businesses profitably.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with two community members — Nikki (a civil construction and land development veteran who spent six months developing a custom bedding product, hit 32% of her first month's sales from pre-orders, and now has return customers within seven weeks of launch) and John (a 25-year civil construction project manager who quit with no plan, launched a premium tattoo aftercare brand, and went from $5K to nearly $20K a month in four months). We break down the product-versus-marketing tradeoff, the exact cash flow ratio every founder needs to track, and the conversion and pricing structures that turn early traction into real scale.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with two community members — Donna (a 25-year corporate marketing professional who designed a weighted vest for perimenopausal women and hit $10K in her first month) and Karen (an 18-year IKEA veteran who took redundancy, built a premium compact bag brand, and tripled her revenue in week one with a new coach).

We break down the exact messaging frameworks, creative strategies, and psychological anchors both founders need to go from $10K to $100K — including solution-based selling, the stages of awareness, trauma-angle ads, and why building an army of winning creatives beats everything else.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with three community members — Cindy (a social services professional who designed her own handbag and built it into a growing brand), Nathan and Etienne (two former supermarket store managers who hit $10K within their first 30 days selling pet products). We break down their journeys, expose the real blockers holding each of them back, and go deep on the questions every scaling founder faces: when to expand, when to stay focused, and why complexity kills more businesses than competition ever will.
