In this episode of The Random Show, Taylor Holiday and Andrew Faris are back—new set, same chaos.

They dive into the uncomfortable truths of e-commerce: zero barriers to entry, infinite competition, and the creative treadmill that never stops. If you’ve ever felt like you’re sprinting just to stay in place, you’re not alone.

  •  Why ecom profits get competed down to zero

  •  How “just take a thousand shots” became the default creative strategy

  •  What Andrew’s new brand launch reveals about market belief

You’ll also hear their usual blend of philosophical rabbit holes, family, AI, and finding purpose.
