    eCommerce is Violence Nov 09, 2022
    Show notes

    On today’s episode, Philip and Brian discuss their recent issue of The Senses, as well as some tips for preparing for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season. They also talk about the recent release of a Ralph Lauren collection in Fortnite and how Roblox has become a giant brand playground. Plus listen in for a HUGE announcement that we are really excited about!

    Do you Insta Cop?

    • How to be prepared for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season, including some horror stories from past years
    • ECommerce itself is gamified. ECommerce best practices tend to point to how do we become more persuasive? How do we appeal to our basest of instincts like FOMO?
    • We will be publishing a Future Commerce trade show and conference guide to assist in all of your “Which shows do I go to and why?” questions and needs, so stay tuned
    • Brian has more Marshall McLuhan to talk about, which reminded him of our big announcement
    • Our big announcement is that we are publishing a 240-page journal called Archetypes, and it’s going to blow your mind
    • Plus we are launching Archetypes at a live event centered around art and performance, including modern dance, on December 1 in Miami, FL (wait until you see the merch!)
    • Phillip is loving the brand Teenage Engineering on every level
    • Any generational brand becomes what's relevant and they find product market fit and then they find the generational brand culture fit much later in their journey
    • The guys share a little “remember when” about how hard it was to get a site back up when it crashed back in the old days

    [STEP BY STEP] Platforms Don't Solve Problems, People do Nov 04, 2022
    Show notes

    Open source software is such an important part of how the whole world is run, and it takes a community to build it. In fact, so much has been built up to this point, that everything new that’s created is standing on the shoulders of the giants that have solved problems in the past, problems that we don’t even have to think about much today. So what are the problems that we do need to investigate today and how shall we best address them? Yitzchak Lieblich from Web Solutions NYC shares how they do it. Listen in to this final episode of Season 9 of Step by Step!

    Like a Light Bulb

    • “Know what you know. Know what you don't know.” - Yitzchak
    • Finding the right platform solutions may cost more upfront, but will cost less in the long run as you work with what you actually need and build from there
    • Happy developers lead to happy code which leads to happy merchants
    • “Open source, at its core, has been about sort of unselfishly sharing learnings and findings and asking others to potentially join you in helping to build.” - Phillip
    • Merchants also love open source options because of the control it offers them
    • There was the Magento wave, the Shopify wave, and a next wave will come as well
    • Some merchants will continue to use SaaS, but it’s important to base that decision on an honest look at the maturity of your business and the needs you have moving forward

    [STEP BY STEP] Managing Complexity Nov 03, 2022
    Show notes

    Because open source is so flexible, it can be such a powerful tool. But how do you manage the complexities of all that is possible and steer clear of overbuilding? How do you stay focused with all that is available? Listen in as Founder and CEO at Alumio, Caspar Hardholt, explains how to manage these risks and build your open source stack successfully.

    Feature Creep

    • Software providers work with more educated business owners/operators today than in years past, and multiple software needs add to the complexity of the process
    • Before any adjustments should be made, use your open source platform as is and to its fullest potential
    • “I'm speaking to a lot of agencies and they're starting to realize that custom coding everything is not in the best interest of their clients. So there's also a shift going on there.” - Caspar
    • “Nobody wants to walk around in shoes that are too big. Managing the amount of time and investment, the future-proofing, and the amount of capital that you pump into any project, whether it's open source or not, is really just understanding the growth rate of the person who has to inhabit the software.” - Phillip
    • “Relationships are at the core of open source software.” - Brian
    • “Don’t reinvent the wheel. Adapt to the wheels you get.” - Caspar
    • Managing complexity requires understanding what complexity means to you and your business and making an honest assessment

    [STEP BY STEP] The "B-Word" Nov 02, 2022
    Show notes

    We all hate the B-Word (budgeting). How do you set yourself up for success when you enter into a project using open source? How do you make sure you have guardrails going into this so that you can actually have a plan and don't get yourself into trouble? Can software buying be less scary? Stephen Stark, Founder, and CEO at ITG Commerce explains how you can make these decisions less scary. Listen in and find out!

    Wedding Planning

    • Selecting software is important, but selecting the strategy by which you build that software is even more important
    • Open source allows the possibilities of meeting your customers’ needs in so many ways, but discipline, focus, and vision also have to guide you as you build.
    • When buying, building, planning, and budgeting well for open-source software, it’s imperative that the expectations of what is needed and who will be involved are set at the beginning of the project
    • “At some point, you need to deconstruct what you have and make sure that you are planning for the future and not bolting on to a good or bad decision from the past.” - Stephen
    • The goal is a collective vision between all parties involved
    • “It's not really the base platform features that provide a leg up. It's the stuff you do on top of it and that extensibility and customizability is the difference maker for most businesses trying to differentiate in eCommerce.” - Phillip

    [Step by Step] It Takes a Community Nov 01, 2022
    Show notes

    When should I use open source software and how do I build on top of it to create the unique and differentiating elements of my business where I am right now? How can open source create community and lead to a wider array of solutions? Sander Mangel, eCommerce Solutions Architect at Shopware, joins this episode to explain the necessity of community in open source. Listen Now!

    A Bigger Beneficial Pie

    • Doing eCommerce has become tremendously complex and that requires not just developers but specialists, analysts, and more discipline than it ever has before
    • We wouldn’t have the internet if we didn’t have open source
    • “The actual lineage and the history of these communities goes on to power commerce at its core and whether that's in a commercialized way or not, open source sits at the root of all of this.” - Phillip
    • The only way to actually leverage open source is to contribute back and be a part of the community
    • If you’re not sharing that knowledge because you’re worried about IP, or if the whole value of your company relies on a set of features, you're probably doing something wrong
    • “When you have so many voices, it's easy for vision to splinter, but you have to have {vision} in order to be successful.” - Brian
    • “If you're measuring the success of your community by the lines of code written, it's never going to work because that's not how community works.” - Sander
    • “If you run open source software and leverage that in a smart way, in a conscious way, you can make the difference with just a few lines of customization to make sure that it specifically fits your business. That's where the value of open source lies.” - Sander

    [Step by Step] The Open Source Business Oct 31, 2022
    Show notes

    Open Source isn’t dead, actually it’s never been more alive. We’re in the ninth season of Step by Step and this season, we’re exploring the question, “is open source still viable for the modern business?” We think the answer is yes, but getting to the solution requires the business operator to do a cost benefit analysis, manage complexity and budget, and choose the correct software to set their team up for success.

    In this first episode, Ben Marks, Director of Global Market Development at Shopware joins the show to talk about the Open Source Business about why open source isn’t dead.

    Open Source Isn’t Dead

    • Put simply, open source is just collaboration in the open.
    • Just because something is free doesn’t mean it’s open source and just because it’s open source doesn’t mean it’s free.
    • The startup capital is minimal and the opportunities are abundant, making open source really appealing.
    • People misconceive SaaS software to be the easy option, but they fail to think through the learning curve, necessary level of customization, and architecture that’s required, which can make SaaS options more expensive depending on your business type.
    • Is open source still viable for commerce?
    • The beauty of open source is the ability to differentiate based upon your business’s needs.

    "A Larger Boat in Choppy Waters" (Pattern Acquires Onsen Towels, with Nick Ling, CEO) Sep 27, 2022
    Show notes

    Pattern Brands has just announced that they’re acquiring Onsen Towels.

    What was it like to see the market go from 20,000 using Shopify as a platform to now 2 million? Well, Nick Ling can tell you. What is it like to help founders become millionaires? He can tell you that, too.

    Phillip takes some time with Nick Ling to talk about Pattern’s Acquisition of Onsen, how they build trust with founders, and why they hold strong views loosely as they build differently.

    Time and Trust

    • “Good brands aren't built overnight. It takes time to build a loyal audience and a really great product.” - Nick
    • Building trust is a very important aspect of how Pattern approaches brand acquisitions.
    • “It's never been more exciting to be an entrepreneur and consumer in general. There's a much bigger community and there are a lot more interesting ideas bubbling to the top.” - Nick
    • The past couple of years have been the toughest yet for eCommerce businesses because there have been so many challenges to navigate and also big growth to be had
    • “As a company what we're trying to do is keep an open mind towards how you really can grow brands in the evolved environment that we have today.” - Nick
    • “Brands are more valuable as brands than just products because you're buying into a way of life and you build trust.” - Nick
    • “You're an incubator on a few levels. You're building brands, and you're building brand operators, and you're building people with aspirations who seem to want to go build things for themselves.” - Phillip
    • At Pattern Brands there are new problems to solve all the time because they are building in a very different way
