The Commerce Club Podcast
Starting and running an e-commerce or product based business can be a very challenging and lonely place.
As founders we tend to wear all the hats (product development, marketing, customer service, sales, operations etc etc...) and sometimes it can be a minefield trying to figure out the solutions to all your business problems alone, so this is where me & The Commerce Club podcast comes in.
The Commerce Club podcast is all about helping you confront the big challenges you are facing in your product based business right now!
You might be an entrepreneur with a great idea for a product, but no idea where to start to bring that business to life.
You might run a fashion brand that has up until now had consistent sales, but whatever you do, you just don't seem to grow.
You might be a jewelry brand founder struggling to find time to juggle your business alongside your full time job.
Whatever your challenge in your product business right now, I want to help you find a solution!
Every week I’ll be chatting exploring topics in the world of e-commerce to help debunk myths, solve your problems and delve in to current industry affairs, as well as chatting directly to founders of small product based businesses, just like yours, helping them unpack and find solutions to their challenges to help them move forward and thrive in the current times.
About your host... In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Sophie Biggerstaff an ex-fashion buyer turned e-commerce business mentor & consultant and I’ve spent the past 12 years working for brands such as Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Kate Spade and Burberry.
Back in 2020 I left the corporate world behind and began help e-commerce business founders generate more sales without investing hundreds of dollars in to ads by getting really strategic with their organic sales strategy, which in turn helps them convert more browsers in to buyers.
So, with that in mind if you are a ecommerce business founder looking to grow their brand, or an e-commerce entreprneur seeking inspiration to start a new business venture, be sure to subscribe, and follow me on socials.

The Commerce Club Podcast
S128. Spending money to make money, the pressure for entrepreneurs to achieve goals & toxic work culture with Lizzie, founder of B.X.M
I'm very excited to share todays episode as Lizzie is an ex-client of mine and all the topics we covered in todays coversations we suuuper interesting and tbh unplanned, the conversation took a really interesting turn and we spoke about some topics that we both felt very passionately about, so I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Lizzie and I worked together back in 2021/2022 when she was launching her brand B.X.M. Lizzie had limited experience in the retail world, and she consulted lots of business support services to help her bring her idea to life, so that she didn't waste money or time on the wrong things.
Lizzies business set up journey came with extra challenges due to some personal situations she faced along the way, naturally she wanted to pour her everything in to this business set up, but in reality her head was elsewhere and this did inevitably impact her motivation to show up for her new business launch.
In this episode we have a very candid chat about the pressures founders put on themselves due to toxic work & hustle culture, our opinions on setting yourself business goals, why you have to spend money to make money, what it feels like going in to year one in your business and what happens when LIFE gets in the way of you working on your business.
