Nick Lissette is the founder and CEO of Black Pearl Group, a New Zealand-born SaaS company generating over $12.5M in ARR from the US market and he's just getting started. With a relentless drive and a famously no-BS approach to business, Nick has been scaling startups since he was 24, when he bought his first company for $1, walked into an office with a server, a car park, and no clue what he was doing and figured it out the hard way.Since then, he's built and sold multiple businesses, survived the brutal cycles of SaaS, and taken Black Pearl public on the NZX, with plans now underway for a dual listing on the ASX. Under his leadership, Black Pearl has launched a suite of products that use real AI, not vaporware, to help SMEs in the US find and close more customers. Nick doesn't just talk about AI—his team builds it, deploys it, and uses it to scale faster with fewer people. And yes, he thinks Elon might've had a point about Twitter headcount.Nick is as authentic as they come. He tells it like it is, about fundraising, hiring tough operators, managing burnout, building billion-dollar visions, and grinding through hill runs with his teenage son to stay mentally sharp. Whether he's cold-calling from a Taco Bell in Arizona or closing deals face-to-face in the US, Nick plays to win, and he'll either succeed or “die trying.”This podcast was brought to you by our amazing sponsor in ⁠Vanta⁠ 

Ben Gracewood is one of those rare tech leaders who's done the whole arc—starting in low-level code, scaling product and engineering teams at Vend through to a $400 million exit, and now leading in a world where AI is rewriting the playbook.With a deep background in software development and executive leadership, Ben has built teams, shaped product strategy, and helped grow one of New Zealand's most successful SaaS companies. But he's not stuck in nostalgia. Today, he's laser-focused on what comes next—and he's convinced that we can now do more with fewer people.Ben's current work explores how artificial intelligence can augment product and engineering teams—not to replace humans, but to strip away busywork and let great people focus on what matters. He's open in questioning the bloat that's crept into many tech orgs, and he's even willing to say what others won't: maybe Elon wasn't entirely wrong when he gutted Twitter's headcount. Brutal? Maybe. But Ben thinks it opened up an uncomfortable truth—most tech teams are overstaffed and under-focused.Whether it's scaling with soul, building leaner, smarter teams, or staying close to the craft as a leader, Ben brings a no-BS, high-empathy perspective to what modern product leadership looks like. He's still a builder at heart—and now he's building with AI at his side.This podcast was brought to you by our amazing sponsor in Vanta
