Episode Synopsis

Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 3
What if the biggest retention problem in your Shopify business is not retention at all, but the customers you are acquiring in the first place?
Most brands obsess over CAC and conversion, then panic when churn hits, never realizing the two are inseparable.
Acquisition is retention.
In this episode, I break down why the customer you attract determines the customer you keep, how the post-checkout dopamine spike shapes long-term loyalty, and how smart onboarding can lift retention before the first order even ships.
If you want to stop fighting churn and start engineering loyalty, this Shopify episode is your blueprint.
