“The second reason is because Shopify does this competition where you, if you open up a new store it's called build a business competition, and whoever gets the most sales or the top three people who get the most sales, top three stores, they'll get some sort of package, a getaway to go meet Richard Branson on his island, or go into a mansion with Tony Robbins, or something crazy like that. So We use Shopify because we want to win that competition.”
