Today's podcast is part of a new series on Growth Tactics, where we talk to digital businesses that are winning. And dig into what worked and what didn't.

Our first episode is an interview with Alex Lee, the CEO and co-founder of beauty brand and DTC ecommerce site Depology.

After years of struggle as a small ecommerce site, Alex pivoted to beauty and skin care products in 2019. And then grew rapidly to $10M in revenue in ten months. And within 3 years, Depology had grown to $20M in sales.

That's awesome. I talked with Alex about how they did it. What growth tactics worked? Which didn't?

It was a fun discussion with quite a few valuable lessons. Plus, it's great to see a former MBA student of mine doing so well.
