THE BRAND I BUILT

Hardcore Italians

Founded: 2011
Platform: Shopify (since 2017)

What I Built

Hardcore Italians started as a niche content page and grew into a multi-million-dollar ecommerce brand and media platform.

Over the years, I’ve:

  • Grown Facebook and Instagram to 1M+ followers each

  • Generated $15M+ in lifetime Shopify sales

  • Spent $3M+ spent on Meta ads

  • Built a brand-driven ecommerce business, not a dropshipping store

  • Navigated iOS14, creative fatigue, rising CPAs, and platform shifts like Andromeda

This wasn’t a straight line — it was built through testing, mistakes, iteration, and long-term thinking.

Why This Matters

I don’t give advice based on theory.

Everything I recommend is informed by:

  • Running ads with real money

  • Managing inventory, cash flow, and teams

  • Building an audience that actually converts

  • Making decisions when things aren’t working

This is operator experience — not coaching.
