In today's episode, I’m recapping my 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and pulling back the curtain on what really happened. After three years of running highly successful six-figure Black Friday seasons, I decided to try a completely different approach this year. I walk through how I structured the sale, the numbers behind it, the disappointment I felt when results didn’t meet expectations, and the biggest lesson I’m carrying into 2026: simplicity wins.
