    Specific ideas and proposals Hudson has raised in meetings. Only includes ideas they directly contributed.

    And we've actually used AI for that as well because we've like just fucking brain dumped all of our ideas and then we've just come out with what are the best ideas and can it actually be done and can.
    πŸ“ž Hudson / Simon πŸ“… 2026-03-16 πŸ†• New
    We want to roll out a store a month like Viori.
    πŸ“ž Hudson / Simon πŸ“… 2026-03-16 πŸ†• New
    You would have to create an insert card and the insert card would have to be for anything that is not going to Amazon because on Amazon they'll penalize you if you ever ask for reviews and they'll like suppress you and all that.
    πŸ“ž Comfrt x IM8 Top Wins Sharing πŸ“… 2026-03-10 πŸ†• New
    But if you guys go and you create an insert card for anybody that gets it off TikTok.
    πŸ“ž Comfrt x IM8 Top Wins Sharing πŸ“… 2026-03-10 πŸ†• New
    So the way that I look at it is get your core creators in the community, build and cultivate community with people that like you're personally having relationships with.
    πŸ“ž Comfrt x IM8 Top Wins Sharing πŸ“… 2026-03-10 πŸ†• New
    Because so many people create affiliate programs or want to mimic them and then there's like use this tool or go create a Facebook group or go create a WhatsApp group and then sometimes it falls apart.
