#006 | Amazon and Korean E-Commerce with Meme Lord Victor Min

Send us a text

#006: Victor Min, CEO of Vintorio, has the #1 wine aerator on Amazon along with other wine accessories. It’s a successful 7-figure business which has been expanding into Korea. He’s been summoned to the unique role of helping other Korean entrepreneurs get at the e-commerce game. Talented, funny, smart as a brain can smart, and business he can. Also, he’s one of the humblest people I’ve ever met. 

We talk about a range of things, including how Amazon is gonna take over Korea, and probably the world. Jeff Bezos is striving to be the best of all time. Just look at where Relentless.com redirects. 

We beseech you, Jeff Bezos, O Mighty Billionaire Gawd of Amazon,  m8, Oh Long Johnson, please don’t hurt us! We love you.  

Also, Elon Musk is a meme lord. 

Also, Victor and I talk about being stuck in the Rat Race, as cogs in the global capitalist machine. Is it worth pursuing a piece of the pie when massive corporations are gobbling everything up? What value do I have to offer the world? These are questions I ask myself sometimes. Victor responds like a gawd! 

The world is not always stacked against me, or unfair against me. It can be stacked for me, unfair in your advantage. The universe can work for me if I just know how to deal with it. 

이기는것 버릇이다. 지는것도 버릇이고.

Winning is a habit. So is losing. 

I will make winning a habit for the rest of my life! What about you? 

I put a lot of heart and soul into the interview and production. I spent a lot of time! Well, part of that maybe was because I’m not that prepared and I was scatterbrained for this particular interview. But I’m getting better! I sincerely hope you get some value out of this.

Some notes: 

• 핼조선 - Hell Joseon, describing a feeling of desperation and hopelessness in Korea in terms of socioeconomic freedom. I like to think of it as the Korean rat race. 
• 해외직구 "haewae-jikgu” - Direct Purchase of Overseas Products 
• Didn’t find the clip where Elon Musk talks about finding a reason to get up in the morning, but here’s a related video, ohohoho. Elon Musk on Fear:
