Daniel Rafael is a top 1% Amazon seller and CEO of the Lion Group. He has worked with many big brands. His philosophy or ethos is that brands should not ignore resellers and should instead find a way to live in peace and harmony with them, while also rising above the unique challenges faced by brick and mortar stores.
