**Welcome to The Ostrich Report – Where Ecommerce Sticks Its Head in the Sand So You Don’t Have To**🚨 *PILOT EPISODE ALERT* 🚨 Two marketplace nerds walk into a livestream... and the algorithm lets them stay. Hosted by **Hendrik Laubscher** (the man, the myth, the spreadsheet) and **Vinny O’Brien** (part-time ecommerce guru, full-time professional cynic), *The Ostrich Report* is your no-holds-barred, semi-accurate, occasionally insightful look into the wild world of global ecommerce marketplaces.In this glorious mess of a pilot, we tackle:- Why marketplaces are multiplying faster than AI bros on LinkedIn - The real reason brands cry in the shower after selling on Amazon - What the hell is going on in cross-border trade (and who’s profiting from the chaos) - And how *Shopify*, *Shein*, and *Temu* might secretly be roommates in a very weird sitcomExpect sarcasm. Expect strong opinions. Expect at least one tech reference no one fully understands. And if you're in the ecommerce game and NOT watching this? You're basically doing business blindfolded in a minefield.🎬 Watch, comment, like, and subscribe – or don’t.
