The greatest entrepreneurs, like John, don't invent businesses in isolation. They look at where demand already exists, and then build something better to serve it. In this conversation, he explains how founders can do the same: stand out in crowded markets, recognize the right opportunities, and earn the attention of investors like him.

Despite having to haul a dozen dumpster-loads of damaged goods out of the offices and the nearby Lab Store, to the tune of $1.5 million, Eileen said at the time, 'It was just stuff.' You can only imagine the emotions that might arise in a chief executive if they saw their sewage-soaked products floating by. Eileen and her staff did not linger there. They mobilized quickly-organizing carpools, impromptu meeting spaces, and arranging interest-free loans for staff needing cash during the crisis.

This list is dedicated to those Amazon finds - the ones that make your space feel more intentional and your routines feel smoother, but without the luxury markup. These bougie, useful picks cost less than $25, all while upgrading your everyday life in every way.

A Brooklinen sale is always cause for celebration, and since 2025's sleep essentials have been begging for a 2026 refresh, consider this your lucky break. With the brand's bundles event, bulk shoppers can save up to 40% off all-in-one bedding and bath kits. Favorites like the Luxe Sateen Duvet Bundle and the Dreamweave Waffle Bath Towel Bundle are included in the discounts, as well as the Luxe Move-In Bundle if you're christening a new space or blessing a friend who's at a new address.

Simply having a direct-to-consumer site was still a novelty in certain categories, and the rise of Instagram and Facebook allowed these players to acquire a huge swath of customers at low costs. Since then, the way people search and shop for products has evolved beyond simply discovering a brand through Instagram and rushing to its DTC site to hit "buy."

The Inverse shopping team has scoured Amazon to find clever tech accessories, cool home goods, easy grooming products, stylish clothing, and more designed to make your life feel bougie AF without the steep prices you'd expect.

We've still got plenty of winter left, so if you've been dragging your feet when it comes to upgrading your boots, you might as well make your move.

If you need new jeans, now's the time to strike. A handful of Levi's are discounted, including this versatile straight-leg pair in a variety of washes.

"Sporty-prep" is the sweet spot between polished and comfortable-and it's everywhere right now. The preppy style-trend blends classic staples like polo shirts, cardigans, and tailored trousers with sporty pieces like comfy sneakers, barrel sweatpants, and baseball caps. The result? Travel outfits that feel intentional yet relaxed, making them ideal for trips, long walks, and "straight off the plane" plans. Amazon's Sporty Prep storefront makes the look easy to recreate without overthinking it.

Amazon always delivers shoppers an abundance of marked-down apparel during its holiday sale events, but this Presidents Day, the retailer is getting a headstart. Right now, countless loungewear essentials have received generous price cuts leading up to the long weekend, so you can get a jump on revamping your travel wardrobe as we look ahead to spring. If you'd rather spend your long weekend relaxing instead of shopping,

Nobody needs another reason to buy sweatpants, but we'll give you one anyway: Some of Amazon's best-selling sweats cost less than your lunch order. Starting at just $8, we found popular travel pants that have racked up tens of thousands of five-star reviews-and by the looks of them, you'd never guess they cost as little as they do. One $10 pair from Hanes with almost 100,000 ratings has been called, simply, " the best pants ever," and it's not the only one receiving such emphatic praise.

Scroll on to shop problem-solving bras, magic tailoring clips, layering hacks, and other things you didn't know existed but now suddenly need (and will wish you had sooner).

Jeremy Allen White likes to keep us on our toes. Unlike some over-styled celebrities, his day-to-day actually feel real. He'll wear a $20,000 Louis Vuitton Tambor one day and a $40 denim shirt the next. Right now, he's reminding us to look past our plain white T-shirts and consider how good a pocket tee is. Luckily, several similar options are currently on sale on Amazon.

Both are made in Scotland with Mackintosh's most famous innovation, waterproofed cotton, with the inclusion of CP Company's equally recognizable goggles in the hood. The coats are handmade, with panels being sewn, attached and sealed in Mackintosh's Scottish factory in North Lanarkshire, where seams are coated in water repellent to provide protection from both wind and rain. The two styles, the longer goggle car coat and waist-length goggle jacket, come with raglan sleeves, hidden fastenings, and adjustable cuffs.

As a fashion writer who loves experimenting with style, I've consistently returned to Anthropologie's aesthetic time and time again. The brand's mix of eclectic details, boho silhouettes, and richly textured fabrics creates the kind of postcard-worthy wardrobe I've always dreamed of as a traveler. But those whimsical pieces often come with a splurgy price tag that would stretch my travel budget more than I'd like.

Spring cleaning came early this year thanks to Madewell's long weekend sale. I'm finally donating my old T-shirts and ratty sweatpants that I used to travel in, and I'm replacing them with Madewell's selection of soft sweaters and a pair of cute track pants. With up to 70 percent off its sale section, Madewell is offering steals on everything you need to revamp your travel wardrobe (just remember to use code NEWYEAR at checkout).

Or just...at home, I guess. So I feel obligated to alert you to the very, very good sale they're currently hosting, on everything from their best-selling Blanket Shirt to their must-have Nomad Shorts, as well as $28 hoodies (?!?!) and a whole lot more.

Winter is the season of layering, and there's no piece better suited for the job than a good turtleneck.
