💥 Shoptalk 2025: Exhausting, Exhilarating, and Absolutely Worth It 💥

Day #1 Recap
From the moment I was in security at LAX meeting a new brand founder, to seeing multiple friends on the plane (Steve Weiss, Khudor Annous, Raad Michael Mobrem), to stepping off the plane in Las Vegas and making my way to Mandalay Bay, Shoptalk was NON-STOP in the best way possible.

Tuesday was a marathon: 8+ events back-to-back, meeting incredible people at every turn. Dropping by the Inveterate Inc Shopify Recharge Yotpo cabanas was… hot ☀️. Meeting Iron Mike Tyson 🥊 (see pics) at the PostPilot Penthouse with Postscript FERMÀT and Orita was… interesting.

I finally got to meet our new Sales & BD team in person, Yeco (Coby Phillips and Hannah Underhill are new friends that feel like old friends already).

I also had the chance to connect with old friends and new partners like Ryan Jack Willy Green Nick Kaplan Ben Riggle Michelle Mason Joseph Terzi Joseph Siegel Brian Blum Bianca Egas Eric Alder Sara Pereda and many more.

These conferences remind me why I love this industry. It’s not just about the deals and insights—it’s about the people. Old friends, new friends, and future collaborators all in one place.

Exhausted? Absolutely. But also more energized than ever.

If we crossed paths last week, let’s keep the momentum going!
