This week on Limited Supply, we're bringing you a special crossover episode. Nik recently sat down with David Vanderveen and Peter Griskum from Verified, The Social Commerce Podcast, and the conversation was too good not to share here too. They get into what is actually working in social commerce right now, starting with the Hudson method: building a network of thousands of micro creators who each represent a specific persona, so the brand gets a constant stream of content without ever running its own production. Nik breaks down how AI has changed the economics of creative, from landing pages built in Codex or Claude Code and shipped in 30 minutes, to why creative costs have collapsed while Meta's ad costs keep climbing. He also digs into the difference between celebrity brands that work and the ones that flop (hint: it usually comes down to team, product, and whether the celebrity actually shows up).
