Fatih Özdemir proves that e-commerce can be done differently. As Co-Founder of Outlet46, he and his siblings sell one million products per year – without Amazon, without Facebook Ads, without marketing budget. His mission: buy brand goods from "the rich" and sell them cheaply to "the people." After a dramatic crisis with €4 million debt, he fought back and is now growing over 100% annually again.

In this conversation you'll learn:

- how Outlet46 sells one million products per year without marketing budget

- why most e-commerce founder stories are complete bullshit

- why real pioneer work started in 2003 in a childhood bedroom – not with €500 BWL student budget

- how the business model "rescue overstock and sell cheaply" works

- why Ferrari and Rolex are business investments, not status symbols

- how he came back from €4 million debt to 100% growth

- why spirituality and manifestation play a role in business too

- why agencies have no justification in his world

- what Berlin expansion is planned: pop-up stores, TikTok shopping and more

- why being free and communicating authentically is more successful than being liked
