"Hi Chris, I’m Natalie from Denver. I’ve been researching different e-commerce business models and came across dropshipping and Fulfilled by Amazon. Both seem like great ways to sell products online without holding inventory, but I’m not sure how they differ. Could you explain the key differences between dropshipping and FBA? Also, which model do you think is more suitable for someone just starting out? I’ve been listening to your podcast for a while now, and your insights have been helpful. I also really enjoyed The $100 Startup."
