Beyond the Listings: Our New Amazon Podcast is Live

Real Amazon stories, challenges and strategies to drive success. It’s all here – and episode 1 is ready to stream…

After years of leading the marketplace conversation through webinars, consulting and content, we’re bringing our commercial insights to a whole new format with our new podcast, Beyond the Listings!

Going deeper into the real-world experience of building success on Amazon, each month we’re bringing ecommerce leaders, operators and experts together to lift the lid on what’s working, what’s not – and how to win in a marketplace that moves fast and rewards smart.

And we’re thrilled to share that episode 1 is live now…

Episode 1: Amazon Compliance – What you need to know in 2025

Amazon’s compliance landscape is tightening – with one misstep having the potential to put your listings, or even your entire account, at risk.

We know it can get complicated so, for our first episode, we decided to cut through the noise with a straight-talking deep dive into:

  • Product safety and regulatory risks
  • The dangers of false claims and review manipulation
  • Barcoding, labelling and packaging requirements
  • Logistics compliance – and where brands slip up most
  • Enforcement hotspots for 2025 and how to prepare

And to do this, a Venture Forge duo of Andrew Banks (CEO) and Travis Chappell (Head of Vendor) was joined by the brilliant pairing of Christopher Khoo (Co-Founder, Khoo Commerce) and James Prewitt (Head of Ecommerce, Paladone).

The result?

Well, whether you’re a Seller or a Vendor; in one market or many – this episode arms you with the clarity and actions to stay compliant, competitive, and penalty-free.
