We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Bobbi Hamilton. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Bobbi below.

Bobbi, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?

The story of Chi Universe is interesting as Chi means life force energy, and I trained with a former Tibetan monk, Chi Master, and private Yoga Therapist to the Dalai Lama. The brand ties in with the products. And I had to fight for the brand with an IP legal battle.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Chi Life Force Energy is significant to greater physical and mental wellbeing. We help customers increase their Chi. We also provide Yoga Playdates as a way for parents and children to stretch, exercise, and breathe together ultimately creating healthier bodies, and more positive loving relationships.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.

I am happy to discuss selling on giant tech retailers like Amazon, as well as high-end retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

I can share how Walmart was stealing my brand traffic online and using my Amazon account to cover it up, and how I’ve had to pivot to survive.
