eBay, Amazon, Mobile, e-Commerce, and Stripping.

Hi gang,

John Lawson is a nationally known e-commerce and social media expert.  You can find him speaking at conventions all over the world and on colderice.com and if his name sounds familiar it’s because he was a winner of Startupnation’s own Home Based 100 contest a few years ago.

I’ve known John for a long time and we both thought it was high time we sat down and discussed my new position at BHFO, e-commerce, eBay, Amazon, business books, and of course, stripping.

So grab some coffee, pull up a chair, and enjoy!  Just click the link below to see the full 28 minute video:
