Riley Bennett: From 9-5 Corporate Grind to 6-Figure Amazon Agency

00:00

48:32

In this episode, we're joined by Riley Bennett, Amazon strategist and co-founder of Amazing Marketing Co. Since ditching the 9-to-5 and moving to Thailand in 2014, Riley has lived in 6 countries and explored 35 as an OG digital nomad.  

Specializing in scaling brands on Amazon using his bespoke 5-Step System, Riley has reshaped the e-commerce landscape for over 300+ businesses. Beyond his agency's success, Riley's blog, Livin' That Life offers insights into the digital nomad lifestyle and e-commerce mastery. 

We discuss transitioning from corporate jobs to nomad life and how valuable YouTube content and courses are for acquiring online skills. We also get into the feelings of fear and excitement that come with taking the leap, and the freedom that comes with living life on your own terms.
