Host Megan Hansel takes a moment for reflection in this space between Christmas and the New Year. She reflects on what this past year has actually revealed about dropshipping, online business, and the people trying to build something genuine. Listeners have a chance to slow down, reassess, and breathe before embarking on another busy year.In the first part of this two-part series, Megan focuses on the truth: dropshipping didn’t fail—expectations did. She shows why the business model itself remains powerful when approached with the proper tools: patience, systems, and realistic timelines. With gratitude woven throughout, this episode is a grounding reminder that progress doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful. Here’s to the new year.
