What happens when Amazon pulls the rug out from under your most profitable brand? Most sellers panic. Jeff Storch built a plan and scaled to $25M a year.
In this no-fluff episode of the Clear the Shelf podcast, Jeff returns to talk about brand gating, sourcing like a machine, scaling smart, and turning Amazon returns into pure profit.
Whether you're a beginner just cracking into online arbitrage or a seasoned seller juggling OA, RA, and wholesale—this is the tactical roadmap you didn’t know you needed.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• The real reason behind Amazon's wave of brand restrictions (and how to protect your inventory)
• Why single-brand reliance is a death sentence for Amazon sellers
• How Jeff runs a full-blown returns department that monetizes "unsellable" products
• What it actually takes to build a $25M/year arbitrage business (hint: reps and systems)
• The diversification playbook Jeff used to survive Nike shutdowns, supplier limits, and the Adidas-gate saga
• Why returns, eBay, and even brick-and-mortar stores matter more than you think
• The #1 hiring mistake most sellers make when scaling
If you're serious about Amazon FBA especially online arbitrage, retail arbitrage, or wholesale sourcing this episode is your unfair advantage.

Most Amazon sellers hustle hard to build cash flow. Very few know what to do next.

Nick Huber calls it The Hamster Wheel: running faster, working harder... but not actually building lasting wealth.

In today’s episode of The Clear the Shelf Podcast, Chris Grant and Chris Racic sit down with Nick Huber. An entrepreneur, author of The Sweaty Startup, and expert at turning boring businesses into million-dollar empires.

We break down:

• How to reinvest your Amazon profits smartly (even if you’re still scrappy)

• Why “boring” businesses are your secret weapon for long-term success

• How Nick would grow wealth if he were starting over with $50K–$200K a year from Amazon

• The “10 Minute Drill” Nick uses to vet every new business idea

• Why self-funding your growth changes everything (and how to balance risk)

• How to build leverage — systems, people, and partnerships — without losing control

• Personal brand building tips to attract deal flow and talent (even if you’re introverted)

If you’ve ever felt trapped — like you're grinding but not getting closer to true financial freedom — this episode is a must-watch.

Because reinvesting wisely beats hustling forever.
