1555 - Father/Sons: Ben Bush and sons Ryan and Sterling

Dr. Beckett interviews the Bush family of Waco: dad Ben and sons Ryan and Sterling about running a family sports card business built around Whatnot and frequent card-show buying. Ben explains they have seven children, with five family members involved: Ryan and Sterling run the Whatnot shows, Ben moderates, their sister handles shipping, and their mother manages administration. Their first show setting up was in Dallas in September 2022, and eventually shifted full time as their Whatnot channel grew. They emphasize high-volume low-end sales, disciplined buying with checks and balances, and a respectful, no-yelling hosting style rooted in the golden rule.
