What 10 Years of Hosting the eCommerce MasterPlan Podcast Taught Me with Chloë Thomas

Ten years. 100s of episodes. Thousands of insights.

As host of the eCommerce MasterPlan Podcast, Chloë Thomas has spent a decade uncovering what really works in eCommerce — and what’s just hype. In this special 10-year anniversary AMA, Chloë fields listener questions covering the past, present, and future of the industry.

If you’re a founder, marketer, or eCommerce professional trying to cut through the noise, this episode is your shortcut to the lessons that actually last.

Huge thanks to all the listeners who submitted questions –

  • Jamie Huskisson, JH (The Breakthrough Agency)
  • Tony Sousan, Fractional CTO
  • Tamsin Burford, Winternational Ski Wear for Women

  • The tech that rewired the industry (hint: not AI)
  • Why retention starts before the first purchase
  • The weirdest podcast moments from 900 episodes
