#1131: An AI Agent Did Exactly What You're Doing. That's the Problem 25.02.2026

Brian and Robin Joy handed an AI agent their FBA flight simulator with a thousand bucks and 26 weeks to build a business from scratch. No coaching. No frameworks. No hand-holding. What happened over those simulated weeks was so recognizable it was almost uncomfortable to watch.   Not because the AI did something weird. Because it did something deeply, unmistakably human.  It ran its testing operat...

#1129: Now there are THREE types of sellers on Amazon - previously there were only two 19.02.2026

On Amazon, if you're a seller, you're either a reseller or you're selling your own brand. That's it, right?   Not so fast - there's an entirely new kind of reseller emerging and there's an important distinction to be made.   This NEW kind of reseller wants: -lower risk decisions -zero chance of going to deep on a bad ASIN -higher margin opportunities -software that does most of the heavy lifting -...

#1128: We watched the 'Amazon Is Dead' video. Here's why we're buying more inventory 18.02.2026

When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.   Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ram...

Today's  ProvenAmazonCourse.com student just quit his corporate job right as we recorded this episode.

#1121: Why the 'perfect' Keepa chart is killing your profits 04.02.2026

Think you want that silky-smooth Keepa chart with stable pricing and thousands of units flying off the shelf every month?   Think again.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy finally share the data they've been sitting on, real numbers that prove what they've been doing and teaching for years: slower-moving products are where the opportunity actually lives for small sellers.   Here's what nobody...

Staring at the same Keepa chart for the third day in a row?
