In this week’s podcast, I sit down with Saamir, who launched his first e-commerce business at just 15!

By 18 he was already generating big numbers.

Now at just 21, he’s running a portfolio of ecom brands and has scaled past $20M per/year.

What stood out to me in this conversation isn’t just the numbers, though…

It’s the awareness, the honesty, and the way he thinks about growth on a level most people don’t reach until much later in life.

In this week’s podcast, we get into:

• How he spots opportunities with new products, before the market wakes up to see them
• His creative volume system — 20–30 tests a day, and why speed is the real advantage on Meta right now
• How he uses AI to collapse time, cut through noise, and get to “what’s actually working” faster
• The mindset behind pushing past plateaus, staying hungry, and surrounding yourself with people who raise your standards

What I appreciate about Saamir is that there’s no ego in the conversation.

Just clarity, conviction, and a genuine desire to keep leveling up, not just financially, but as a person, operator, and leader.

His story is a reminder that your twenties can be the most transformative years of your life if you channel your focus correctly.

If you’re interested in making ecom your main vehicle to wealth, this episode will give you the push to take it to the next level.
