Summary
In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and collectibles pioneer Josh Luber, the co-founder of StockX, former Fanatics Collectibles executive, and founder of Ghostwrite. We discuss how he built multiple billion-dollar businesses by understanding the relationship between supply, demand, culture, and commerce. Josh shares why expertise and passion matter when building a company, how authentic scarcity differs from artificial scarcity, and what entrepreneurs can learn from markets ranging from sneakers and trading cards to luxury goods. We also explore the role of cultural relevance in creating demand, the lessons behind successful collectible brands, and how Ghostwrite applies proven marketplace principles to a new category.
