Thanks everyone for tuning in again! Some fun personal updates to share before we get into today’s show – I just picked up my family-in-law from the airport last week, they are moving in to help with the housework and the baby on the way. I’m feeling more and more Chinese and will keep everyone posted. Over the last couple weeks, I have been moving out of my home office into a new workspace staring at the Hong Kong border, really excited for this and already have some friends sharing the space!So today’s show I was lucky enough to get Jeremy Hanks on the show, he is co-founder of Doba dropship platform and now focused on Dropship Commerce software. He has been visiting Hong Kong and China a few times now from America, and I was able to catch him during his few days in town for this podcast talking about e-commerce and dropship in America and looking into it from an Asian company perspective. So let’s get started.

That’s a wrap, Jeremy is an amazing businessman and I’m glad I get to catch up with him – He is definitely trying to get on top of the new wave of global e-commerce companies and openly admits its becoming less USA-focused. This is exciting for me and the rest of our listeners here, as we try to focus our businesses around the growing Asia economy.
Hopefully it will get a little bit easier for us! But when its hardest, is usually when its early stage and the most opportunity!
