What if your entire Amazon business could be protected before disaster strikes?

In this episode, John sits down with Rohit Nair, e-commerce veteran and founder of Seller Defender, an insurance-backed solution built to protect Amazon sellers from the nightmare of account and ASIN suspensions.

Rohit gets real about the emotional and financial toll of being suspended by Amazon (he’s lived it himself) and breaks down exactly how Seller Defender works: from onboarding to working with top-tier consultants, and even a guaranteed payout if things don’t go your way.

Whether you’re a six-figure seller or scaling toward eight, this is a must-watch if peace of mind is on your 2025 wishlist.

💡 Key Takeaways:
-Account suspensions can crush your cash flow—and your confidence
-ASIN suspensions are far more common and often harder to predict
-Most consultants charge thousands with no guarantee, and little vetting
Seller Defender is a monthly insurance-backed service with no upfront consultant fees
-Top-tier consultants work your case within hours of suspension—no DIY needed
-If they fail, you get a $10,000 payout to recover or rebuild
-Limited-time pricing: $199/month for life if you sign up now
