Um, and then Amy, >> I am an hour south of Kevin in New Bronvilles, Texas. >> Nice. And it looks like we have Drew and John, but until they show their handsome faces, they don't count. So, get on camera, homies. And then, let's just see who we've got on the chat. Beer City USA. I don't know what that is. Okay, good. Oklahoma, Wisconsin. Hey guys from London. Oh, hi Mark. He's one of mine. Colia. Let's see. Kansas City. Tennessee. Oh, Christy, you definitely need to be coming to this thing. Delhi, India, Massachusetts, Dallas. Where else do we got you guys coming in from? Lots of people coming in pretty quick. Okay, so Kevin, back to you. they know where their chat box I just like to make sure that they know how to chat to us because we're going to be playing games you guys like this is really fun and interactive and if you don't chat with us you're not going to win. So like you got to have your fingers on your keyboard and be ready to play. Right, Kevin? >> That's right. That's right. We're going to be we're going to be spinning a wheel here. We'll be here no more than an hour. So, if you're trying to uh lot your time, I'm going to go over some stuff about the event, answer a few questions that people may have that maybe you already have a ticket and you're like, "Well, I don't understand this." And I'll explain that or maybe you're on the fence and haven't decided to come. And then we're going to do a drawing. Uh we'll do several. I'll probably give away, it depends on how interactive you guys are. We'll give away five tickets uh with a spin the wheel. So, everybody that's on here will have their name in that. You got to be present to win. So, we'll do that towards the end of this hour. Um, so make sure you you hang on for that. Um, and you've got to be able to come to Nashville uh to actually win. So, right now, if let me just see uh we have um 75 or so people here live right now. Um, why don't you, if you can actually make it to Nashville, Tennessee on April 8th to the 12th, can you type that, type I can make it into the chat. If you're actually able to make it because if you win the ticket, you can't make it. You just took someone else's spot. So, I need to know I can make just type I can make it to Nashville, Tennessee, April 8th to the 12th. I'm going to give you a second. Those of you that have this screen behind you, I can see it shows me here that you're doing you're answering email right now. shows me that you have your email open. So, pull the screen to the front and actually type I can make it. If you can't make it, don't don't don't type anything, but I need you to type I can make it to Nashville April 8th. It's actually to the 11th uh for the main core of the event. So, you could do as little as three nights. So, you're like, well, the whole event is five nights, but that's for the diamond level ticket. We'll talk about that, but you can come for three nights and get the core of it. Uh so, that's a little bit cheaper, a little bit less to be away from home. Uh, and not as many hotel nights and and that kind of thing. Um, but all right, who else? I can make it five nights. Bill says he can make it five nights. That's that's great. Um, >> do we want to bring Mark on as a panelists, Kevin? I see that he said he can make it. I'm really glad since he's >> Is Mark in the He's not in the He's not as a panelist. >> Nope. >> Oh, he's in the uh >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm really glad you can make it, Mark. That would be very helpful since you're running the event. Um, >> classic Mark, you can come in on the pan panelist link. Mark, let me let me set you up a panelist link. Mark, uh, uh, Amy or Thea or something, can y'all talk for just a second? Let me go into the Zoom. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, if you guys are on this call and you cannot make it, that's kind of not ideal because we're going to be talking about the event and the FOMO is going to be so heavy. So, you might just like not want to be here for the next hour. But if you can make it, you should stick around cuz this is going to be such an incredible experience. >> So go ahead. >> Right now some folks are asking right now they can only chat to host and panelists. Is that um weird? >> That's correct. That's correct. >> Oh, that is correct. That's how I set up making sure. >> So that's how we set it up >> because there's Yeah, sometimes people uh say things that they shouldn't say. So, don't worry everyone, we can see your messages just fine. All of it, all of us who are up here can see your messages. Um, so please continue chatting with us. We're loving seeing that. So, how many of you um Nashville, have you ever been to Nashville before? So, all of you said, "I can make it. We're coming to Nashville. We're hanging out." Um, have you been to Nashville before? Fred says, "I love Nashville." George says, "Yes, I've never been." Yes, it's great. Never been. Was there last September? Yes, been there many times. Never been to Tennessee. Never better time than now. And yes, just last year. Been decades. Yes, been there. I've been once before. I live just south of the city. Yes, many times. Never been. I can make it. No, but love to visit. First time going to Nashville. Just the airport. Had to go to a wedding and didn't get to see the city. Okay, Stephen, it would be great to have you there. So, I love it. I've only been to Nashville, I think, one other time, and it was just kind of a passing through. So, I'm really looking forward. And then I have another question for everybody in chat. How many of you who are in chat, who are here ready to play today, have ever been to a Kevin King event? Tell us in the chat if you've ever been to a Kevin King event before. Let us know. Yes, I've been to a Kevin King event or no? >> Never. Never been. This will be my first time. >> So, a bunch of yeses, >> but a lot of nos. >> Whoa. >> Oh my goodness. Oh, somebody came to our Halloween party, Kevin. >> Oh, awesome. >> Bill Jansen's praying. That's good. Um, >> when I saw him at Accelerate, that's cool. Yes. Oh, I just discovered Michael just discovered Kevin's newsletter last week. Okay, so I have to tell you guys, if you've never been to a Kevin King event, and I know a lot of us here who are here up on the panel can talk about this, it is unlike any event you've ever been to before. Uh there is not a way to describe it because Kevin has a very creative uh mind and he >> it's just me. It's Mark. It's Mark too. >> I was about to say Amy. >> It's not just me. >> Mark and Kevin. Mark's >> Thank you. Thank you Athena for correcting. We got to get Mark up here, right? >> He's He's there. He's up here now. >> Mark and Kevin. Oh, hey Mark. Mark and Kevin come up with just I I can tell from experience that I host events myself and I have done a few events with Mark and Kevin and boy did that just change everything for me so in such a good way because they really really care about creating an experience for everyone. And these are not they're not copying from other events. They're literally coming up with the whole storyline, the theme, everything. what you experience is really really memorable. And when they create networking opportunities at these type of events, not only is the content really good, but the networking opportunities and the activities are so good because they create an environment where you feel like you're part of a community. You feel like you're part of something. And that's why the people that come to Kevin's events, they keep coming back. And we see you over and over and over again because you become part of a community and you really feel like, wow, I found a place where I belong and I can have fun with other people and I can be myself and there's other like minds and you grow in a really big way because of the way these events are designed. Um, so not only are you going to have an amazing time, you're going to play games you've never thought about playing, you're going to have networking and experience and make friends that you wouldn't have expected before. And it's just a really really awesome experience. >> Thank you, Amy. >> Yeah. Trina, you mentioned Carnival of Dreams. You can expect something like that in Nashville. >> Wow. >> Yeah. So, if you know that you went came to the Carnival of Dreams at Seller Con that we did as like a side thing a couple years ago, the welcome party in Nashville is going to be similar to that. Or not similar, but along those lines. So, just to just to back up, I'm going to spend about five minutes, five to seven minutes here, just give you give you guys a quick lowdown and then we'll answer specific questions and we'll get some of the panelists that are on here, some of the speakers and some of our sponsors are on here. Um, and then we're going to give away if you came in late, we're going to give away at least five gold tickets and we'll see how how you are. If you already have a ticket, if you're on here and you're just kind of like curious about what's going on, that's great. If you happen to win a gold ticket, you're free to give it to a spouse or a business partner or someone in a group that you're in, you're you're willing to pass you're it's fine to pass that on or you can apply it as an upgrade if you want to. So, I'll apply the the the price of that ticket as an upgrade to to a higher level ticket if if you decide to do that. So, the I've been doing these events since 2019 2017. Mark and I have been doing producing stuff together since the for about 25 30 years. uh different types of events. But in the Amazon space, we started doing it with Helium 10 in 2017 and then Helium 10 kind of went on a hockey growth and uh hockey stick growth and they're like, "We don't have time for this anymore. We're not going to do events." They did we did two. We did one in Cancun and one in Hawaii. So I said, "Well, I want to keep doing these." And so they said, "Kevin, you can keep doing these, but you can only have 50 people come to the event. You can't because we're going to do this big event in Vegas and we don't want you competing against us." So the first BDSS in 2019 was 50 was 50 sellers and then as my contract with Helium 10 expanded uh we we got that to 100 and then last year was 150 in Iceland. So we did events in Iceland, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, several in Austin uh and then we do the virtual events online as well. This year we decided to bring it back to the states because a lot of people were like I don't want to travel internationally. It's too expensive. Um because it was limited. The ticket price had to be like $6,000. So that eliminated a lot of people. So I decided let's make now that I'm not working with Helium 10 anymore. My contract ended in November. I don't do the AMM podcast anymore. I don't do any of their training. It's very friendly. Um it's just it's time to make a change. Uh so now I'm free to do what I want. So we have as of right now there's a little over 500 people coming to this event. So instead of 100 that 125 that we had in Iceland, we have over 500 and we're trying to get that up to 700 uh people. There's about 350 actual sellers. So, it's not one of these events where every every person besides you is a service provider. Um, there's a lot of sellers that are at this event. We also have close to a hundred uh creators right now. Some of these creators are doing like 3 million,4 million, $5 million GMBB driving traffic to Amazon listings, to Amazon lives. We have 41 speakers and we have uh about 20 sponsors and they're each bringing a couple people. So it's and then people always about 25% of the tickets to these events always happen the last week. So uh there's going to be a big influx u and and then we'll we'll sell out. Um the way the event is set up is it's set up with two stages. So the the content side of the event there's a a main stage that everybody gets access to no matter what kind of ticket you have and then there's a BDSS stage. The BDSS stage is a little bit more advanced. So, if you're doing over a million dollars a year, you definitely want access to the BDSS stage. Um, during the mornings, we only have the main stage going. So, everybody's in the big ballroom during the mornings seeing the same speakers. In the afternoons, we split. So, the main stage keeps going with some of the speakers. And then there's a BDSS stage. It's in a separate room for the people that have either a platinum ticket or a diamond ticket. So, you have to have one of the the upgraded tickets to actually go to that to the BDSS stage. It'll be a smaller room, uh, but much more advanced tactical stuff. So, uh, and if if you have one of the bigger tickets and you don't want to listen or watch whoever's in the BDSS room, you're welcome to go back over to the main stage, but if you only have the ma the gold ticket, you'll only get the main stage. It's still awesome. You still get a lot of of great stuff. And then we have several other events going on besides So, that happens over three days. So the talks go for three days, two and a half days on the main stage and three days on the BDSS stage. So if you have a gold ticket, you you could actually leave on the afternoon of the 11th if you want to. If you don't want to stay another night's hotel, you need to get back to the family, uh you could actually leave the afternoon of the 11th. If you have a platinum ticket, you want to stay that day, uh because there's more content that afternoon. Or if you have a diamond ticket, you would stay until the 13th. So, if you have a gold ticket, you could leave on the 11th, or you could stay that night and leave on the 12th if you want to just hang out in Nashville. But if you have a platinum ticket, you want to leave on the 12th. And if you have a diamond ticket, which is the highest level, it's a $3,000 ticket, you would leave on the 13th. The the difference between those is the platinum ticket gets you lunch. So, you lunch is included. So, those are networking launches. And it also gets you access to the creators meet sellers event as well, which is I'll talk about here in just a minute. Uh, and then like I said, the BDSS lounge al BDSS uh stage as well. So, you get access to all that. The diamond ticket gets you everything. So, you get access to all the stages. There's a special VIP lounge with streaming inside the lounge. So, if you don't want to sit in the in the in the room, you can actually watch it being streamed into this private VIP lounge. You have access to that. You have access to the Creators Meet Sellers event. And then on the 12th, we have about 75 people that are staying for that extra day. And that day in the morning, we're doing about a three-hour mastermind just like open open table. Uh not it's not even table. It's like it's like an up at the stage. It'll be me and a few other people. And then we'll gather around like in a semicircle. It's very informal. And we'll just blast out cool stuff that's happening right now and people will be sharing. And then we take everybody to lunch at a local uh a local chicken place that's world famous. And then after that we do activities. So, you can either go and make your own bourbon uh and you you make your own uh blends of bourbon and drink and have a bottle with your name and stuff on it. It's pretty cool. Or you can go do a studio tour, which is really cool. And actually, you go through this uh music studio and they'll learn how the music is made. You actually even get to cut a little song. It's it's a pretty cool interesting uh uh tour. So, and then that night you can go off on your own and have uh dinner together. So, that's that's the core of it. Now, during the event itself, we have several other things happening. So, we have a creators lounge where we're going to be setting up live uh a live studio. So, we have someone bringing in cameras and monitors and the whole nine yards. And there will be lives going on in this creators lounge throughout the whole show. Uh they'll be live streaming to Tik Tok, uh to Amazon, to multiple plans. you'll be able to go uh if you have the platinum or diamond ticket, you'll be able to go in there and actually have your products. If you bring your products, you'll actually be able to have them sold on the spot. There's also a creators meet sellers event. So, if you have the platinum or diamond ticket, you can actually bring your products. We have uh I think up to 75 sellers or 70 sellers, something like that, you'll have a little table and you'll be able to put your products, a little sign or whatever on the table and over a hundred creators. Some of these doing massive volume. Some of them are generating 200, 300, $500,000 a month for sellers that will be coming through. Some of them are they're in all kind of categories. Automotive, beauty, pets, um home and kitchen, all kinds of categories. They will be able you'll be able to make deals with them on the spot. Like they'll they and they can become your affiliates and then they could you could even go off and go to the live uh creator studio and shoot something live right then. use the host that's going to be in the creator studio or you can actually have them make something in the hallway for you or just wait till they get home. So you you want to bring samples if you're platinum or diamond so that you can participate in that. If you're gold these creators will still be walking around the hallway so you'll get to meet them. It just won't be as formal and won't be as organized. Uh so you they'll still be there and you'll still get some of that experience but you won't have the exclusive deal making experience that uh the platinum and diamond people will have. That alone is an event by itself and and it could be the ROI on that could be ridiculous if you get one of these creators and these are big Yuka and Reacher and Gracie and uh and Chris Lyall and several people have reached out to their network and these are big creators and there's also some small ones there and sometimes the small ones are better than the big ones but there's going to be a a range and just one deal off of that could make you 200 300,000 bucks um just and pay for your ticket and your time way weren't just crazy. It's just crazy what the opportunity that this is. And you'll be able to see stuff being done live. So, you can watch that uh and you're going to go, "Holy cow, that's I I can do this at home. I need to do it this way." You'll get tips. It's just it's just crazy. Then we have the 41 talks obviously that are going to be next level. I push my speakers very very hard as some of them on here can uh attest to. Um I don't take no There's no fluff. It's got to be a certain on stage, you got to deliver or you'll never be on my stage again. Um, and so the content side is going to be massive and it's going to be probably some overload, but you can't you can't do everything. You got to pick, okay, these are the two or three things that I need to do first and these are the ones I need to do second. Other events that we have is we have a dream 100 party. So all a lot of you know what my dream 100 are the people I've tapped out that are like exclusive group. One night we have that party. you have to have a a Grand Hyatt hotel key to get into that. So, if you're not staying at the Grand Hyatt, if you're staying down the street, I understand. Maybe it was cheaper, maybe it's you get some points you can use. Unfortunately, you cannot come to the the Dream 100 party. So, you'll just have to go party in Nashville uh that night. If you have a hotel room key, you get to come to that exclusive party. The very first night, we have a welcome party. You don't want to miss this. It starts at 7:00 and goes till 10:00. It will have drinks and food. Uh, and I don't know, Mark can tell more, but it's basic. It's it'll have like 25 characters people will be doing. It's it's very interactive. There'll be some games going on. The live studio will be going on. You definitely do not want you want to get there in time to register and and attend this party. If you, someone said earlier, they've been to the Carnival of Dreams in Austin or you've been to the Halloween party, you kind of know what we're talking about. Um it's no one's ever done a welcome party in this space in the ecom space even remotely similar to this. You don't you don't want to miss that. Um and then we have roundts. So on one of the nights um you're going to be able to go in. There's I think 26 roundts and there'll be two people. >> Kevin, >> yes >> Kevin, you need to pause for one second because I have three hands up. >> U let me let me finish and then we'll come back and I'll answer specific. >> You know what my question is? >> What's that? It's about It's about the vibe of the party and the outfits. So, if you want to do that at the end, we can, but make sure people are prepared for >> I'll let Mark talk about that. Um >> Okay. Okay. Good. >> Just give him a lay and then I'll let Mark uh talk and we'll answer some questions. Um Okay. Awesome. >> So, then we have a roundts one night. So, you'll be able to go in. It's like it lasts for about two hours. You'll be able to sit at a there'll be 26 different tables with a number and there'll be either two speakers or a dream 100 person and a speaker at each of these tables. There'll be a creator table. You'll be able to go up and like there'll be a group of there'll be like I don't know eight chairs or something, eight or 10 chairs. If it's full, you can stand behind and just ask questions and someone else will ask a really cool question. You'll learn off of that. I' I've gotten some of the best notes at these type of things in the past for myself, sometimes better than even on the stage. Um, and so you'll be able to do that. You can bounce from table to table. So like, okay, this table was AI. I'm good. Let me go over this one's legal or this one's adverti advertising or this one's whatever you can bounce around. So that's going to be really really cool as well. And then we have an oracle bar. So we have 44 of the speakers and uh some of the sponsors and some of the other people that know a lot about uh this business that will sit down with you one- on-one. So each one of them is signed up. They're volunteering their time for an hour and you'll be able to sign up. You'll get a QR code when you register and you'll sign up for a slot, a 15minute slot where you can actually talk to them for 15 minutes. You can bring your laptop, you can bring your computer, you can say, "Hey, I'm having trouble with this. Can you show me John as I saw how you know you're showing this AI thing. Can you I'm stuck right here. What are you doing?" He's like, "Oh, just do hit this, hit this, hit this, and it's done." Or if you got a question about something, you want to brainstorm. Hey, I'm thinking about doing this, but you don't want to talk in a group of people. You know, maybe it's the round table. you're like, "I have this question, but I want the whole group to hear it. I want to do it one-on-one." You'll be able to do that. Uh, you can pick two different ones. You can't do the same person twice, but you can pick a couple different ones, and those will probably sell out fast. So, if you're not arriving till till um the 9th, you probably are going to miss out on that because I think all the spots will probably be gone. Um, but that that's going to be a great opportunity as well. And then then we have uh like I said, the creators thing. one of my um uh the last night if you're uh a diamond ticket holder or your speaker or sponsor, we have a dinner that we're doing in a barbecue, a local really cool barbecue place uh that's world famous um with bourbon tasting and stuff going on there uh for that. Um this this event, I'm not hosting it. And if you've been to a BDSS event in the past, you see me up on stage introducing everybody. We have a professional MC coming in from London uh that's going to be hosting this event. Uh that's really good. Uh so that's never been done in the e-com space before. It's always one of the planners or somebody hosting it. So uh the BDSS stage will be hosted by by Tim Jordan. Uh and then the the main stage will be hosted by a professional MC. Um the opening show the first day at 9:00 a.m. um on the 9th. You don't want to miss it. There's going to be some I'm not going to give away what it is, but you're going to be like, "Holy shit." uh when you see what happens in that ballroom on that opening day. Um we're flying in somebody special for for this this uh opening presentation that you're going to see. Um so there's a lot of like like Amy was saying and like like Athena was saying, there's a lot of detail in our events. It's not just come listen to some watch a bunch of PowerPoint presentations, have a few orders. Um, you're going to have time if you want to experience Nashville. We're right on Broadway, the hotel. So, Broadway is the heart of Nashville. So, right down, there's a little hill, but right down the hill, like three blocks away, is all the top bars, all the top restaurants. It's like the center of Nashville, the the country music scene. So you you'll have access to to go down there at night uh after some of our stuff is done or if you want to grab something to eat if you if you don't have lunch uh you can eat in the hotel. I know the hotel is expensive. Um it's a beautiful hotel. Um our room block is sold out. Well, we still have a few rooms left, but the actual link doesn't work cuz they're like the hotel's like, "We're going to fill this hotel anyway. Your people have had enough time. We're taking the link away." And so you can still book at the hotel. You just have to go to the hotel directly. And I encourage you to do that and get your room. It's going to be a little bit more expensive, but that way you can at least come to the Dream 100 party or if you if it's just out of your budget, it's okay. There's a Holiday Inn across the street and there's a few other things. But I I would recommend trying to stay at the hotel because it also not just getting you into the party. It it it's much easier to run up and drop your stuff off or to take a quick nap or to go make a quick phone call than if you got to go all the way back and you're just in the heart of everything. You don't miss anything. you're in the elevator going down an escalator and someone's in there and you you strike up a conversation. Next thing you know, you have a good business deal or they're helping you out on something. So, those are major advantages to actually staying at the hotel. So, there's a lot of networking built into this, a lot of education and experiences. As Mark and I say, it's experience like no other. So, that's the general overview. So, Athena's got some questions and if you got any questions, feel free to type them in. Um, and we'll get those answered for you and then we'll we'll do a drawing here in about 15 20 minutes to give away some free tickets. >> Okay. So, my question for Mark is tell me about the vibe of that initial party on the ETH because some of us need to start planning. >> Well, the event overall is themed. Um, the main stage is in the theme, the party is in the theme, and the theme is future Nashville meets AI space cowboy. So, if those of you that like sci-fi stuff, there was a TV show and a movie called Firefly. That was one of the inspirations. It was another movie called BBop Cowboy, which was another inspiration. So, it's kind of a cross between futuristic AI and um well, that's really what it is. Futuristic AI. >> And what we'll be doing is I'm going to send out um probably late this week, early next week, I'll put some links in it and some we we're encouraging people to come to the party in costume. Um, and we will have a bunch of um, acts and stuff there that'll all be in costume. And the sponsor booth area is completely unique. It is we're simulating creating a futuristic dystopian night market. So each booth is actually a stall in the night market. And so like the Titan booth, what um, is representing the I don't remember what was it, Athena? It's the Titan Galactic Federation. >> Yeah. So, you know, so each booth has a theme and each booth we are actually controlling like the sponsors aren't bringing their own stuff. Uh we designed the booth and so it's all in theme. Everything will be in theme. It should be should be super cool. And I definitely encourage you to uh put together a costume. As I said, I'll send up some some renders and stuff a link to some renders so you can kind of get an idea of costume ideas, but go for it. Have fun with it. I know Athena and I will, you know. >> Yeah, I love it. Okay, so just one last thing and then I promise to give it to the rest of the people. So, I love this space age cowboy theme because I think it fits so perfectly with the theme of what everyone's going to be talking about at this event because if you think about it, it's like AI stuff, but this is really the wild wild west, right? Like this is during the time when things are shifting more than they ever have. And even things that we've been through in our lifetime, you know, the beginnings of Amazon, the shifts in SEO, like all the things that we know, it doesn't even compare to how quickly things are shifting now, right? So, I think one of the most important things that we're going to be getting out of this event is you're going to be in the room with the people who are at the cutting edge of innovation. But it's not just about the cutting edge of innovation. It's about that collective brain power that I think is going to be so powerful. So, I think you picked the ultimate theme, you guys. I I knew it was cool, but it actually just clicked just now. So, I think that would really be a great way to set the stage of the type of people that are going to be at the event. Not just on stage, but the people attending the event. These are the people who are ready and willing to innovate and to adapt, and those are the people that you always see win. Over to you, Kevin. >> Yeah, we've got on here right now, we have several people that have joined us uh on the panel as well. I mean the event the event the theme of the event is omniresent omni channel omniresent and it's where AI meets e-commerce. So every single talk is not AI but AI is weaving woven in because it's super important right now and there's some people doing some amazing stuff on the AI side that most of us haven't touched or most of you haven't touched. You maybe wrote in an email or you've done some research a little bit but if you really deeply understand it it's ridiculous what it can do. Um, it's saved me from hiring. Probably for this event alone, AI has probably saved me $100,000. Um, just in what I've able been able to do and research and create with AI versus having to hire somebody out. So, it's it's crazy. So, we have like Scott Cunningham is here. Scott is one of the biggest in the Shopify world. He's got a huge community on Shopify and so he's going to be talking on that. We have Ashley here. She's she helps train creators. She's done stuff for some of the biggest brands like Goi Goi and several others. helps create these affiliate armies where you go out. So, just meeting her and talking to her and maybe working a deal with her to help help. She's a creator herself and she drives a lot of traffic, but she also helps train. So, maybe you need someone on your team that's going to train all these creators and show them how to actually maximize self or you're going to be able to meet people like her. You have Drew that's on here and Drew is been in the Amazon game for a long time, done millions of dollars, and he knows how to create he's going to be talking about should you do this yourself or should you be uh jobbing stuff out and how do you know if you're getting ripped off, how do you know how to find the people and a whole lot of other really cool stuff. And you have John that's here. John is big on the AI side. He he does a lot on the LinkedIn and he does a lot with AI and and creating images and all that kind of stuff. And you have Kyle. Kyle is like a master in the PPC world. Uh, and so you'll be able to go up to his booth. Um, and you'll be able to talk to him. Uh, he's going to be doing the Oracle bar as well. So, if you got PPC questions, he's a guy like to go up. Then you have Brock. You know, right now a lot of the money is made in the in the it's not made in selling, it's made in sourcing. Uh, so there's a lot of margin that gets lost when it comes to 3PLs and when it comes to um inventory and warehousing and logistics. Barack and his team are masters at that. So, he he'll be there with a booth and be doing that. And then you have Athena who's the co-founder of the Titan network. 800 700 800 sellers in their network where they it's not just like okay here's a webinar uh and we show you something. They do weekly huddles and weekly accountability and weekly things. It's it's probably the best educational not probably it is the best educational group that I've seen in the e-commerce space. uh they don't let outsiders in, but I've Athena's been kind enough to invite me to a couple of her events in Cancun, a few of their things, and I've seen how they work, and I'm like, "Holy cow, everybody should be doing it this way." If if I had opportunity to that, and I was upcoming as a seller, I would be like, "This is perfect." Um, and it's it's a strong comm. Not only is it strong education, but it's a strong community, and they're supporting each other. There's a wedding going on uh in Chile right before Nashville that Athena and I are both going to. one of the the leaders in Titan is doing it and it's probably going to be like 200 Titan people there because it's a big community and big family. They're all going to Chile and making a special out of this. Um so, um you got you these are just a few and I think thank all of y'all for coming on here. Do any of you before I answer questions from the crowd, do any of you on the panel want to say anything or have any uh questions or anything? Feel free to just pipe in. I would add I I heard Amy talking about the Kevin King event. I went to my very first one with you guys in November last year in Texas. Not not knowing what to expect. Like I go to a lot of events like you said. We have our own community. We host our own events. I was absolutely floored. Floored. Like I was shook for weeks after. I'm not even kidding you. >> It was Market Masters. >> It was the Market Masters event. It was at the um Gatsby >> the Gatsby theme. There was like a helipad in front of the house. There was like a gym in the backyard. Like I I'd never been to an event like that. So I just wanted to reiterate that what Amy said is true. The Kevin King event was is remarkable. >> That's my that's my favorite event that I do because it it changes lives. That one we've had people come in doing a million and a half and five months later doing 5 million because it's very pinpointed to individuals. This event in Nashville is a totally different style, but we try to bring elements of that in. That's why the Oracle bar to help that one-on-one like what Amy was Amy is running that here. um uh as well and we we try to bring that to the networking, the launches, the stuff. We try to bring as much as I can but with 500 people instead of 100 people. So it's a little bit different challenge but and a little bit different cost but it's >> I think it's like the caliber of people the talks the discussions like I was there giving a talk about some Shopify stuff but I learned from other speakers and I implemented things that I saw some of these other speakers are going to be in Nashville and I can't wait to show them like hey you did this talk I actually built this thing around what you were talking about so I thought it was just like exceptional like the learning opportunities too it's which is rare to find which is rare to find with so much going on online like it was it was mind-blowing Kyle, this is your first time, I think, right? What what are you looking forward to or what are you hoping uh as a one of the sponsors? >> Yeah. Um this is my first Kevin King event. Uh and honestly, so I I've gone to a bunch of other conferences. I I know quite a few people who are attending this event too. And I got to say from even just the setup perspective, what you're planning and the fact that you just keep adding this value and keep layering things in has got me so amped up for this event. Um I think the whole idea of the the theme behind it and then some of not to mention some of the speakers on this list. I've seen them around. I've had conversations with them in in the lineup is absolutely stacked. So while I'm coming as a sponsor, I am here to learn. Uh, I'm here to share the knowledge that I've built, but also to learn from everybody else. Um, and that's what I'm most excited for in this event. >> Awesome. And Barack, um, what what are you've been to, uh, a BDS a couple BDSS's events, uh, but you you've kind of seen what we're doing or is he still here or did he leave? >> Yeah, I'm here. >> You've kind of seen kind of a little taste and, you know, what we're doing on this and, uh, you still don't know what you got got yourself into, I don't think, until you show up. But uh what what are you hoping uh expecting out of this? >> Um you know I am in and out uh billion dollar seller community BDSS community in WhatsApp group chats here and there. One thing that I really like is anytime anyone has a problem uh someone who already experienced that uh can go and help everyone like each individual. I think that's priceless and having this >> you talk about like the WhatsApp group. >> Yes. WhatsApp group. So you go to the event, you meet people, you start building uh relationship with the people uh not just only the sponsors or you know the uh experienced people but if you're a new new person in the business uh you can meet other sellers and go talk to great communities like Titan or you know my team will be there. I I I keep telling people like go on the channel or go home moving forward uh because you know Amazon Yeah, I mean there there 45 to 50 uh Amazon FBA fees. So if you don't start leveraging like Tik Tok shop, Tik Tok fulfillment or Shopify. Scott, I'm also excited to meet him in first time. We've been talking to each other like last three to four months. But I think it's going to be very big leverage for people who's going to come to this event. Anytime they run into challenge next several months, fourth quarter is almost here. you know do you need to start planning your inventory tariff changings uh due drawbacks so many things are happening like impacting your margins directly so you should really come to this event and meet all the experts and uh sellers to find out you know what's the best strategy and if you run into ever a problem you will get the answers within minutes you know within this community I'm very happy to be part of it actually >> Drew you were in Hawaii at BDSS in Hawaii that's the only BDSS you've been to, right? So, this is your second. Is that correct? >> Yeah. I mean, I'm still working on the things that I learned from uh the speakers in Hawaii, frankly. Um, no, seriously, it was like drinking from a fire hose. Um, I think it set up everything that it, if nothing else, it teed me up to be able to look into the future of Amazon for that conference and be able to predict everything that was coming. So, over the last two years, I've heard nothing new that I wasn't first warned about in Hawaii. Um, which honestly I think has just been one of the best road maps for me as a seller and also as like a fractional brand manager to be able to like sit down with any client and say, "Are you prepared for AI? Are you prepared for these algorithm changes? Are you prepared for brand management and omni channel capture the bottom of the funnel?" Like, are you prepared in every single way possible with the AI tools and like even the AI competition we had back then? Imagine what people would do now with that same AI competition, right? So, I mean, a BDSS really is just one of those things that's like if you go to one, you'll at least be prepared for the next couple of years. That alone is a reason to go, frankly, and has been the case for me for sure. >> John, you this is your first uh BDSS event, right? >> This is my first ever uh Kevin King any event with Kevin and first ever time going to Nashville. So, it's a double whammy for me. uh coming from someone I've spoken at Accelerate, Prosper, Innovate, you name it. Uh I'm the most not paranoid or I'm overly concerned about making sure that my presentation is good. You could ask Amy. I've pinged a bunch of things off Amy. I said, "Does this look good?" Amy, what do you think? Give me feedback now. Um, but the the interesting thing is my my presentation is changing every single day up until the deadline that it's due because AI is changing every single day. So, I need to make sure that it's not been there, done that, seen that. That was two days ago, John. So, that's that's what I'm super excited about and I can't wait to see everyone and I'm super pumped. >> And it's not just you, John. I interviewed like so many of the speakers and so many of them are like I'm going to I'm changing my slides every day. It's going to be so good. It like all of them want to bring their best. And just from interviewing these speakers, I I want to be in 40 places at once during this event. That is going to be my challenge. So if you see me there or when you see me there, I'm going to be all over the place besides the Oracle part because I want to catch all of it. It's so good. And the networking is gonna be off the chain. I can't wait. >> I like I like harassed you, Amy. I was like, "Does this look good? Read it again. Tell me what you think. You've been to these before." I like, "It's good. It's good. Trust me, it's good." And I'm like revamping it again and again because every time there's an update, I'm like, "This is old. It's Kevin's not going to be impressed. If Kevin's not impressed, I'm never getting invited back again. It's got to be good." So >> that that is true. If I'm not impressed, you usually don't get invited back again. >> But Kevin Kevin knows. That's a true statement. Not to put pressure on any of the other speakers that are on here, but that's that is true. I have no fluff, no Uh something that's like, "Wow, okay. I didn't know that." >> You do know that every single time, for anyone that doesn't know, every single time I see Kevin at any event, wherever he is, I always tell Kevin the same thing. Kevin, I have the $10,000 cash in the briefcase and I'll bring it to you and drop it off. Just let me know when for the dream 100. And Kevin goes, "Okay." Every year the price goes up a little bit more and more. So we'll see what this year is. I don't know. >> This year might be 100,000. You trying to put on this Nashville event. When I see the bill, it's like um Ashley, you've you're new to this. Uh and new and so you've seen the chatter. We have a creator group, a WhatsApp group for all the creators that are coming. And a couple days ago, Mark and I were getting pinged left and right while we're working. Like they were going nuts in there like introducing themselves to each other and like one uping each other like oh I do three million I do 3.5 or I do and then one is like I feel like a little peeon I only do a million dollars a year. Uh and so there is I think they're more excited and Mark and I even commented on that. We're like these creators we don't have that kind of buzz in the BDSS group. We don't have people going oh my god I can't wait to get there and posting all the time. you have an occasional one, but these people are like the creators are like stoked uh to actually come here and they Tik Tok does creator events and they do they do things but I don't know that they do them like this. Um but Ashley, what are you've heard a few of the things that uh you probably been like, "Holy cow, I didn't know that. I didn't know that." some of the stuff that we we're what do you think is going to happen on the when you have a hundred creators in the same event or 100 plus creators at the same event as 350 sellers and there's lots of people doing millions of dollars in sales on both sides of that walking around. What do you think is going to happen? >> I think there's going to be a lot of like I want that creator. Let's There's going to be a lot of good fights. Let's put it that way. You know, a lot of good fights. Um, just to give them a little background, I've done $5 million in sales in Tik Tok shop. Um, and I've been doing it for about a year and a half. And then I also coach and I've probably coached I don't know $50 million sales. I've I've lost count at this point. Um, but yeah, I'm super excited to like meet all the brands, meet all of you guys. I'm not huge on the ecom. Like I've just started like my own Shopify store like a like I'm I'm very new to that side of things, but I'm super excited to like deep dive into that side along with the creator side. I'm super excited to meet brands. I absolutely love the live selling feature um that you guys are going to have. Like I'm I I will be the first one up there. I'm I'll live sell all day long. I absolutely love that idea. Um and you know, just like how AI moves, content moves all the time. Like Tik Tok shop is not the same that it was a year and a half ago when I started. It's a totally different beast now than it was then. So, you know, as a creator, we also have to move with the flow and keep up with AI, too, because there's tons of AI content out there. And I'm just really excited to be in a group of like-minded people because I live in a little rural town in Michigan where there's nobody around like me. And so, I'm just excited to be surrounded by brilliance. >> Awesome. Athena, what what tell tell me a little bit about what you're what you're expecting. >> Okay. You mean about what I'm going to be talking about on stage or the event in general? >> Whatever whatever you want to talk about. >> Well, it kind of is a perfect theme because we're going to be talking about networking, right? And when you hear the concept of networking, people just think about, "Hi, my name's Athena. Nice to meet you, Kyle." You know, "Oh, what do you do? Oh, cool. What do you do?" And that's it, right? And so what we're going to be doing is we're going to be breaking down the topic in a way that is so much deeper than anyone's ever really thought about it before because a lot of you guys want strategy and systems and things that you can actually implement. Well, one of the biggest things that you can do for your life and for your career and for pretty much every area of your life is connecting with amazing people. I'm telling you, it's the biggest life hack. So proximity's powers. One of my favorite concepts from Tony Robbins and just being around people with a certain energy and a certain mindset and a certain success level. It is proven to be contagious, right? But you can't just like go in there and do the surface level stuff and think that you're going to be getting the value of when people say your network is your net worth. That's not how that works, right? And so it's really there's system to it and we're going to be talking about that. We're going to be going deep enough about that or you're going to use that throughout the entire event to bring the other people around you top value because that's actually the hint, right? It's not about how can you support me, how can I get from you. A lot of it also has to do with these experiences. Kevin and Mark put together these amazing experiences and people are like, you know, what are we doing at this like thing making bourbon and why are we hanging, you know, like it it seems kind of like a little not silly, but just like why if I'm here to get utmost value out of this event for my business, does that seem like an important thing? Well, that's where the real connection happens. And the connections that I've made over the last 12 years have brought me more value than anything I could ever put, you know, some sort of a dollar amount to. And I'm sure everyone on this call can agree. I mean, I met Kevin what, 10 years ago at an event and the amount of things that we've done and the places we've been and the people we've impacted because we've stayed in touch is absolutely mind-boggling. And there's other people on this call that I've had the pleasure to do that with also. And there's other people on this call that I cannot wait to get to know and see how I can bring you guys value because there's going to be a 1 plus 1 equals 5 million when it comes to some of the people on this call. So anyway, that's my passion. That's my excitement and that's what I'm going to bring to you guys is your ability to connect really deeply with other people that are going to bring tremendous value to your life and to your business. That's what we're going to be doing. I'm going to be on stage and that's what we're going to be doing in real life. >> That's true. The the best value is not always in the classroom. That's that's where the the foundations are laid and the ideas start and then they get finished uh in the connections that you make and and and that's where the real value is. >> Yeah. Sorry, one second. It's not just the connections you make. It's you bringing it forward into the future in real life, right, guys? Like, it can't just be like, "Oh, >> and and Scott and I did that. We met in Austin. We exchanged some, you know, we're like, "Hey, you're so cool. You're so cool. You have an amazing community. You have an amazing community." We haven't followed up with each other yet, have we, Scott? Right. >> No, but I imagine we will, you know, >> right now I'm like, "Dude, dude." Right. Like the energy, what we can do, how much we can impact. So, it's a matter of that followup. And that's some of what we're going to be talking about as well. >> Let's answer a few questions from the uh the chat now from the people. I say uh Bill, you said the Hyatt downtown. It's the Grand Hyatt. So, there's several Hyatts in Nashville. It's the Grand So, if you want to Google it, it's Grand Hyatt on Broadway and you'll find the hotel there. Uh Grand Hyatt on Broadway. Um, feel free, uh, anybody on the panel if there's any questions that you saw that we should answer, uh, feel free and then we're going to do the drawing here in just a minute to give away some free tickets. Um, see, uh, >> I'm going to check on the hotel when we get off the call and find out if it is actually sold out. I'll if anybody wants to reach out to me on WhatsApp, I'll let them know or I'll >> Well, I think what happened is the the the nights, was it Mark? the nights of the eth and our our >> seventh and eth >> the seventh and eth was not they sold out and so we we they took some rooms away from us but that like the second half of the event we might have a few rooms left so it's possible I don't know um you might be able to book two and stitch them together that's kind of a pain in the ass or just go direct to the hotel it's I think it's about $50 at last I checked this could change but it was about $50 more per night if you went direct to the hotel than through our link >> yeah The person that asked said that she had gone direct to the hotel and it was still saying it was sold out. So they might actually be sold out on the 7th and 8th, but I'll verify that. >> And so if you want to, you could, you know, stay across the street or something on the 8th. Uh and um >> it's a Holiday in Express directly across >> Holiday Express across the street and then move over on the 9th. That could be an option there. >> And honestly, it's not that much cheaper, but it's there. >> Yeah, you could you could do something like that. the the night that you need the room key for is the night of the ninth. So, it's not the first night. So, it's the night of the ninth is when you you need the high room key. Um, we're also, you know, a lot of you know that I do the Marketing Misfits podcast and newsletter with Norm. And so, on the night of the 10th, we're doing, if you're into whiskey or andor cigars, we're doing an event with uh cigars and whiskey at a really cool place. Uh, so anybody that's into that kind of thing, uh, we're doing that one of the nights, too. If you want to know the general schedule, there's two websites for this event. There's one called ecommastery.com and then there's one called ecommastery.ai. Uh the one that's that ends in.ai has an agenda. It it's not as pretty of a website. It's the original one that we had, but there is an agenda there. So, if you are curious like what's happening each day, it's not specific like hour by hour. we will have that available to you, but it will show you like the general gist of everything. So, if you go to ecommastery.ai, you can see the general agenda if if uh you're curious on on that. Um any other questions? Uh let's see. I'm just scrolling through here. Um, >> uh, somebody asked for an email to respond to to get additional questions answered. Is there any place you want to do that? >> Um, yeah, you can. Uh, will you use the ecom mastery one, Mark, or >> No, that's all. I don't need 100 people responding there. >> Yeah, you can. Um, let me let me give you one. Uh, there is >> the best thing to do, you can reach out to me on personally on WhatsApp. >> There is a WhatsApp group for if you're coming to the event, you should have gotten an email from us. There is a there's a WhatsApp group for the creators. There's by themselves. There's a WhatsApp group for the speakers and sponsors by themselves. And then there's a general WhatsApp group for all the attendees and everybody. So, you should have got an email. If you just signed up, if you recently signed up like in the last week, you you'll get another email. But about a week ago, I sent an email out inviting everybody to the general WhatsApp group. That's a great place to answer questions. Um I'll I'll So once you signed up, I'll be sending another email probably tomorrow uh with a link to that again if you missed it. There's likeund and something people in there. So obviously we're missing like 400 people in that WhatsApp group. But um that that will be going out. So that's also a great place if you have questions. Um Sean says if I'm interpreting >> one idea Kevin sorry one idea just to throw out there obviously this is for people who don't mind this kind of thing. Sometimes you can like share like if it's another girl who's going to the Hyatt like if you want to jump in the WhatsApp group and just be like hey is there anyone that's interested in having a roommate you guys share on cost and then you can both stay at the event. I have been doing that for the last 10 years with my guys and sometimes it becomes like your best friend in the whole world. So, that is an idea if you're comfortable with it. Um, you know, roommate situations, cool. I see that only suites are available, so those might be more expensive. They're larger, so maybe you guys want to just go in on a suite together. Just an idea. I am 100% extrovert, so that might be weird for some people. >> Yeah, I know some people don't mind doing that. they they share a room with a with a friend or sometimes in the groups like, "Hey, any other girls want to uh share a room or any other guys want to share a room?" And sometimes that works out if if you're comfortable with that. That that definitely can help save uh quite a bit of money. Um so Steve Given says, "Is this um let me see you can set you can set up a meeting with individual reps of different companies. It's um content creators, wholesalers, etc. But there isn't a traditional trade show to attend uh during Yeah, this is not a trade show. This is a conf an experiential conference. Now there there are uh I think there's 15 booths. So it's not like one of these where there's like 500 booths, not like a prosper show or something where it's all separate. The booths are all in the foyer right outside the Grand Ballroom. So every day when you're going to the talks, you're going to pass directly by the booths and when you're leaving the talks, you're going to pass directly by the booths. So and there's only 15 of them. And these are people. There's PPC companies. There's tools like King Heldm 10. There's Titan. There's Dragonfish. There's Barack has foreskit. There there's uh some uh companies that deal with creators like Yuka and Reacher and Spliced and uh those kinds. So there's there's a variety of uh a boost, but it's not a it's not a trade show. And like Mark said, the booths are all designed in the so bringing their own booths and setting up their own thing. The booths are all designed in the theme of the the AI space cowboy event. So they're all it's it's like being an Asian night market. So nobody's ever done this at a conference. Sometimes you'll go I think I've been to an MDS conference where they had like they did the boost for you, but they were just they're boring as Uh and so they're just ugly. Um so so I'm sorry. I love those guys, but they they just were ugly. So we're we don't do that. Uh we make an experience so when you walk through there you're like this is cool. It's a different vibe. Uh it's a different vibe. Um let me see any other questions. Um, some hotel answered. Um, do you see any other qu? Um, >> I think the question is who's going to win the golden ticket? >> Yeah, I think I'm about ready to give away some tickets. Um, David said he's got two uh platinum tickets. All right. All right. Here we go. Um, Fred, you're gonna Well, if your name is called, Fred Oops, you got a call. All right, here we go. I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen and we'll go ahead and get >> Oh, this is so fun. This is so fun. >> Let me share my screen. Remember, you have to be able to go to you have to be present to win and you have to be able to go to Nashville to win this. So, um, can you see my screen here? >> Oh my goodness, I see some familiar names on that. >> So, this is the uh this is the wheel. What I did is I copied in all the people who registered. So hopefully your name is in here. U if you registered it might be under something else. So I'm just scrolling through so you can see these are all the people that registered for Ted Share and you registered three times. You can't have three. You only have one. >> Sorry Ted. Uh make sure make sure there's nobody else in here twice. Double check real quick. He's like damn it. I'm gonna win three times. Looks like he's the only problem. Maybe there was an issue or something when he was >> probably wasn't on purpose, I'm sure. >> All right, cool. So, there's all the names. So, what we're going to do is I'm going to spin this wheel here and uh it's going to settle on a name, and that name is going to win a gold ticket. So, this is a $500 ticket to the event. If you happen to already have a gold ticket, you can pass this on to somebody else. If you uh or you can if you choose to upgrade, you can say, "You know what? That's great.
