Summary: Today’s guest got really into chat bots before anyone else did and understood how to use them. Recently he and I recorded an interview about how he does messaging bots, but also wanted him to come on to talk about how he built up his businesses. Ezra Firestone is the cofounder of BOOM by Cindy Joseph. They sell organic skincare and cosmetics for women of every generation. He also has this tool that allows you to do a one-click upsell. He turned it into a plugin that anyone can use. That’s a whole other business called Zipify. They make ecommerce plugins for Shopify stores.
