Ezra Firestone is someone to aspire to in eCommerce. Having listened to Ezra for a whole bunch of years, getting some insights into how he spends his money in his eCommerce business is a real treat for any eCom business owner.

So without further ado, have a listen to this podcast interview with Ezra Firestone of BOOM! and Mike Jackness of EcomCrew and formerly Colorit.
