Hoy te traigo un caso real de una paciente joven, de 25 años, que llega a consulta pidiendo perder peso, pero con algo mucho más profundo detrás: miedo.Miedo después de que a su padre le diera un infarto.Miedo porque su abuela murió de un ACV.Miedo a que la historia se repita.Con 147 kg de peso, una larga historia de dietas hechas desde la restricción y un entorno familiar marcado por la cirugía bariátrica, la paciente lo tiene claro: no quiere volver a hacer dieta.Trabaja en una gasolinera con turnos de tarde y de noche, horarios que desordenan el hambre, el descanso y las decisiones alimentarias. La comida rápida y los pedidos a domicilio no aparecen por falta de voluntad, sino por cansancio, soledad y supervivencia.En este episodio hablamos de:Por qué el peso no siempre es el verdadero problema.La diferencia entre genética y condena.Cómo los turnos laborales afectan a la alimentación y a la salud.La dependencia emocional a la comida basura, sin demonizarla.Qué pasa cuando dejamos de prohibir y empezamos a ordenar.Movimiento, salud cardiovascular y autocompasión.Un episodio para entender que la salud no empieza con otra dieta ni con una operación, sino cuando dejamos de luchar contra el cuerpo y empezamos a escucharlo.

Having helped grow Duckhorn from $5M to $500M in revenue and the sales team from 1 to >100 people, Pete Przbylinksi, former Chief Sales Officer of The Duckhorn Portfolio for nearly 30 years, has a deep understanding of managing US wholesale markets.

In episode #338 of SaaS Metrics School, Ben explains how to quickly sanity-check your sales and marketing forecast for the upcoming year using one high-signal SaaS metric: the Cost of ARR. As founders and CFOs finalize budgets, Ben shows how mismatches between projected bookings and planned go-to-market spend can reveal unrealistic assumptions before they turn into missed targets. Using simple examples, Ben walks through how the Cost of ARR connects sales and marketing spend, net new ARR bookings, and historical performance—making it one of the most effective tools for validating SaaS and AI company forecasts during budget season. What You'll Learn How to use the Cost of ARR to validate your sales and marketing budget The relationship between sales and marketing spend and net new ARR bookings How to identify unrealistic growth assumptions in your forecast The difference between blended the Cost of ARR, Cost of New ARR, and Cost of Expansion ARR Why historical performance should anchor forward-looking forecasts How benchmarking by ACV and sales motion improves forecast accuracy Why It Matters Sales and marketing forecasts often fail because spend and bookings assumptions are disconnected Cost of ARR provides a mechanical reality check before committing to a budget Overly aggressive ARR targets can be identified early and corrected Underspending on go-to-market becomes visible when bookings expectations are too conservative Benchmarking against peers helps validate whether forecast assumptions are realistic Strong financial modeling and forecasting discipline improves board and investor confidence Resources Mentioned Cost of ARR metric framework: https://www.thesaascfo.com/saas-cac-ratio/ Benchmarking data from Ray Rike at Benchmarkit.ai Concepts from SaaS FP&A forecasting and go-to-market efficiency analysis: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation

In this episode of The Independent Dealer Podcast, we sit down with brothers Travis and Casey of Vamos Auto in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

What if the confusion around fasting and hormones isn't because the science is complicated, but because most people are using the wrong tools for the wrong goals? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to get clear about what fasting actually does, when it helps, and when it backfires. This is a conversation about taking ownership of your metabolism instead of chasing trends that don't match your life. We talk about the viral moment from her Stephen Bartlett interview, how misinformation spreads, and what she learned from being at the center of it. Mindy breaks down her six core fasts, why women need a different strategy, and how to adjust your approach if you train hard. We get into cycle-based fasting, fertility, menopause, HRT, toxic load, peptides, creatine, apple cider vinegar, and the rise of GLP-1 drugs. If you've ever wondered how to use fasting without wrecking your energy or performance, this episode will give you a clearer path forward. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, educator, and functional health expert known as the fasting guru. Her books Fast Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl have helped millions of women rethink metabolic health, hormones, and aging, and she has led hundreds of thousands of people through community fasts that focus on real-world results, not quick fixes. What We Discuss: (00:00) How a Misquote Went Viral and Changed Mindy's Career (04:12) What the Internet Got Wrong About Testosterone and Fasting (11:19) The Biggest Fasting Mistakes Most People Still Make (17:05) The Six Core Types of Fasting and When to Use Each (23:28) Fasting for Gut Repair, Weight Loss, and Dopamine Reset (28:54) How Athletes and Active Women Should Adapt Their Fasts (34:04) Cycle-Based Fasting and Hormonal Timing for Women (43:00) Supplement Cycling, Autophagy, and Metabolic Flexibility (55:19) GLP-1 Drugs, Gut Health, and the Real Drivers of Hunger (59:31) The Long-Term Risks of Quick-Fix Weight Loss Trends (01:05:40) Fertility, Progesterone Needs, and Rethinking HRT (01:16:14) Menopause, Brain Rewiring, and Building Cognitive Strength (01:28:48) Peptides, ACV, and Final Insights Before Wrap-Up Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

Guests: Jason Burg – 40-year industry veteran, retired GC, national MRP consultant Jim Greer – 40+ years in B2B consulting, national carrier & vendor network strategist Jason Burg: 407-782-1772 This episode explores why MRP (Managed Repair Programs) and DRP (Direct Repair Programs) are becoming essential revenue streams for roofing contractors—and why the traditional door-to-door storm model is becoming increasingly unstable. The discussion breaks down how shifting insurance policies, rising deductibles, declining storm frequency, ACV-only policies, and market restrictions are changing the economics of storm restoration roofing. The episode explains how MRPs, DRPs, TPAs, and MGAs actually work, why most contractors misunderstand them, and how these programs create recurring, predictable revenue while improving business valuation. It details why door-to-door alone has become feast-or-famine, why free roofs are disappearing, how contractors can still achieve 35–40% margins through the right programs, and why insurance carriers urgently need more vetted roofers—especially during CAT events and daily claims. The episode also clarifies misconceptions around low margins, lack of control, and qualification barriers, outlining how background checks, onboarding, and vendor approvals actually work. Real-world examples show contractors getting approved within days when introduced through the right relationships. Ultimately, this episode provides a blueprint for shifting from a volatile storm-chasing model to a sustainable, diversified revenue system built on direct carrier work, recurring repair opportunities, and long-term business stability.

Brands crossing the $100M line, roughly speaking, face a privileged danger : deceleration. It happens very quickly once you hit max ACV or even ¾ of your category's max ACV. If you didn't prepare for this, you will have to act fast. It's very hard to an emerging brand to get past $500M and stay growing like KIND. The solution is to aim for the opposite - acceleration, even when it seems least likely to happen.Your Host: Dr. James F.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Whitney: Hello, wondering if you add minerals to your water from the kangen k8? If so what brands do you like and trust the most? Thoughts on the beam minerals brand? And do you have to put minerals in each glass as you dispense / drink it since you can't really make a big batch of hydrogen water to keep in the fridge without the hydrogen dissipating ? Thanks!                                                                                                                                            Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! My new functional medicine doctor suggested I start BPC 157 to help with gut healing and cellular repair. Peptides are one of the few things I've never researched. The site says they are synthetic peptides originally derived from a naturally occurring sequence found in human gastric proteins. This sounds suspect to me... Is there a natural BPC 157 you would recommend, or what brand did you use when you took BPC 157? I'm hesitant to use anything synthetic. Thanks for any insight!                                                                                                                                Anonymous: HI! So I've done a lot of work on my health and healing. Preemptive apologies to anyone who doesn't want to hear this graphic question! I cut nuts and seeds because every time I eat them, the next day my stool is basically wrapped in what looks like stringy worms. I've watched this happen over the years and took a long time for me to finally figure out a pattern. At first I thought they were actual worms. They are maybe 2-3 mm in diameter and can be interwoven through the stool or just on the outer sides. It almost looks hollow which led me to wonder if I'm seeing the worm's digestive tract or perhaps it's my intestinal lining sloughing off in one long intact piece. Either way it's shocking. Wondering if nuts are just mucus machines and highly inflammatory on my gut lining? Worms? Thanks!!                                                                                                                                                          Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just wanted to report back with a success! So my dad had been growing what we lovingly called a "carbuncle" on his temple for years. It was dark brown, rough, raised, and steadily growing. Through the help of your wealth of information, I guessed that it was seborrheic keratosis. He was getting frustrated with its growth and did not want to get doctors involved. I had him listen to an episode about it and he started applying ACV at least twice a day and we watched it disappear over just one month! It was probably an inch or so in diameter. We are all blown away that it completely disappeared with his consistent use of ACV! Thank you so much for all your help and sharing knowledge we can all use to help ourselves at home! My dad is happy to be rid of his "carbuncle"!                                                                                                                                                  Summer: Hello! So I have a handful of tiny cherry angiomas scattered all over my body. I had one pop up just below my collar bone and within weeks to a month it had grown significantly. It's now just under 1/2" in diameter and sticks up about 1/4". I've been applying ACV and Tea Tree oil twice daily for a couple of months. I even tried cauterizing it with a wart freezing kit. The surface dries up every few days and comes off and it will bleed profusely if I bump it after a shower or pick at it. When I apply pressure it deflates like a balloon and I can watch it refill with blood and fluid in seconds. I'm not so sure this is a cherry angioma anymore... Does it sound like something else? What can I do? I don't want to go to a doctor, but it's become quite the nuisance.

Moni suomalainen ohjelmistoyritys haaveilee siirtymisestä palvelubusineksestä kansainväliseksi tuoteyhtiöksi – mutta harva tekee sen onnistuneesti ilman ulkopuolista rahoitusta. Valamis Group on poikkeus.Tässä Menestystä Etsimässä -podcastin jaksossa keskustellaan Valamiksen perustajan ja toimitusjohtajan Jussi Hurskaisen kanssa siitä, mitä todella vaatii kasvaa palveluyhtiöstä yli 10 miljoonan euron kansainväliseksi tuotebisnekseksi. Valamis on kulkenut pitkän tien Joensuusta globaaliksi oppimisalustatoimijaksi, tehnyt vaikeita rakennemuutoksia, luopunut palveluliiketoiminnasta ja rakentanut enterprise-tason SaaS-myyntiä useille markkinoille.Jaksossa pureudumme muun muassa: • mitä palvelubusineksestä tuoteyhtiöksi siirtyminen käytännössä tarkoittaa • miksi kansainvälistyminen harvoin etenee suoraviivaisesti • millaisia virheitä Valamis teki matkalla – ja mitä niistä opittiin • miten yritysrakenteet, maayhtiöt ja kustannukset vaikuttavat kasvuun • millaista on rakentaa enterprise-myyntiä, kun ACV on kuusinumeroista • miksi kaikkea ei kannata skaalata, vaikka voisiKeskustelu tarjoaa realistisen ja rehellisen kuvan SaaS-transformaatiosta: päätöksistä, jotka eivät näy pitch deckeissä, mutta ratkaisevat pitkällä aikavälillä.Sisällysluettelo:[00:00] Valamiksen tarinan alku[05:20] Bootstrap-vaihe Joensuussa[11:40] Miksi palvelubisnes ei skaalaudu[18:10] Ensiaskeleet kansainvälisesti[25:30] Palveluliiketoiminnan myynti[32:45] Yritysrakenteet ja maayhtiöt[39:50] Siirtymä SaaS-tuoteyhtiöksi[47:15] Enterprise-myynti ja 100k ACV[54:40] Yritysostot ja virheet[01:02:30] Tärkeimmät opit SaaS-kasvuunPodcastin juontaa kasvuvalmentaja Antti Pietilä, ja Menestystä Etsimässä -podcastin tuottaa Loyalistic yhteistyössä Software Finland ry:n SaaS Finlandin kanssa.Podcastin juontaa kasvuvalmentaja Antti Pietilä, ja Menestystä Etsimässä -podcastin tuottaa Loyalistic yhteistyössä Software Finland ry:n SaaS Finlandin kanssa.

Most companies try to reduce sales costs with cuts, pressure, or more activity. But real efficiency comes from identifying and removing friction. In this episode, Brandon breaks down the four levers that instantly lower cost per sale: increasing conversion through clarity, accelerating sales cycles by eliminating uncertainty, protecting seller time through role alignment, and raising ACV with outcome-based selling.You'll learn how to run a 60-second audit that reveals hidden inefficiencies, how speed acts as a cost reducer, and why the real enemy of revenue isn't price... it's friction. Brandon also shows how tools like Seamless AI reduce operational drag by giving reps back the hours they lose to manual research and admin.If you want a sales engine that moves faster, costs less, and closes bigger deals... this is the episode to bookmark.

In episode #336, Ben Murray breaks down his top three go-to-market efficiency metrics that every SaaS and AI operator should master. He explains when each metric becomes meaningful, how they differ across go-to-market motions, why ACV-based benchmarking matters, and how these metrics become forward-looking tools through forecasting. Ben also highlights the importance of having fully burdened sales and marketing expenses in place so these efficiency metrics are accurate and defensible. What You'll Learn The three most important go-to-market efficiency metrics and why they matter How ACV—not ARR—should drive your benchmarking Why these metrics are proactive when used in forecasting, not just historical How revenue types (subscription vs. usage vs. platform/overage) influence metric design The foundational role of fully burdened sales and marketing expenses Why It Matters Enables operators to measure the true efficiency of sales and marketing investments Provides clarity on the health and scalability of the go-to-market motion Helps leadership benchmark realistically against peers using ACV-based expectations Allows finance teams to forecast forward-looking efficiency, not just track history Ensures efficiency metrics remain accurate as product pricing and revenue models evolve Prevents major errors caused by incomplete or misallocated CAC inputs Resources Mentioned Ben's SaaS Metrics Framework (Pillar 5: Go-to-Market Efficiency): https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation Ray Rike's benchmarking data at benchmarkit.ai Blog posts on modifying metrics for subscription + usage revenue models: https://www.thesaascfo.com/how-to-calculate-cac-payback-period-with-variable-revenue/

Scrappy ABM brings together host Mason Cosby and Yann Sarfati, CEO and Co-founder of Userled, to talk about ABM, AI, field marketing, and events that actually bring the bank. The conversation starts with the problem statement: ABM is a strong buzzword, but finding the accounts you really want to go after is actually the hardest thing. Many teams say they have a narrow ICP and still end up with a list of 10,000 accounts.ㅤYann shares how Userled spent almost six months building a list of 1,000 accounts with clear commonality, strong conviction, and ethical belief that life will be better for those accounts. Mason highlights the mental headache and wasted 10 to 20 hours per bad deal when the ICP is wrong. Together they walk through NRR in MarTech, repeatable GTM motion, small events where the persona actually shows up, personalized event invites, and doing things that do not scale to win enterprise deals and keep customers for the long term.ㅤ

In this episode, Carolyn and Amber pull back the curtain on a $500M cybersecurity company that came to Passetto stuck in last-touch reporting, declining win rates, an overreliance on product trials, and zero visibility into what SDRs were actually working.In just 14 days, their Growth Sprint surfaced what months of internal analysis couldn't: the true drivers of revenue, why trials convert at only 5%, why hand-raisers deliver 2X the deal size and win rate, and how 40% of opportunities are created with no traceable sales trigger at all.We walk through the exact before-and-after: their revenue architecture score, the missing SDR prospecting layer, the downstream impact of “low-signal” opportunities, and the data that finally gives the team conviction to modernize their demand engine.Even with strong tools and a mature sales motion, they're operating with only 55% revenue visibility, record-low win rates, and a demand strategy built almost entirely on trials—until the Sprint changes the trajectory.We break down the insights their team uncovers:Why 55% of SDR workload comes from trials that win at only 5%How high-intent hand raisers deliver 2X the ACV and more than 2X the win rateWhy only 35% of opportunities show early-stage signalsHow more than 40% of opportunities have no traceable prospecting trigger at allAnd how a two-week sprint becomes the “forcing function” they need to move from uncertainty to a clear set of strategic prioritiesA powerful example of what happens when companies finally get the full-funnel visibility they've been missing.

In this episode, Ben breaks down the right way to use apple cider vinegar for fat loss, gut health, and stable energy. ACV only works when taken at the correct timing, and most people unknowingly do it wrong, which leads to cravings, blood sugar crashes, and zero progress. Ben explains why 10–20 minutes before your biggest meal is the sweet spot for lowering blood sugar spikes, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing cravings, and activating your fat-burning pathways. He also covers the benefits for acid reflux, GERD, bloating, and digestion — and why low stomach acid is the hidden reason many people struggle with gut issues. You'll learn the ideal dosage, the difference between liquid ACV and supplements, why many gummies are useless, and a minute-by-minute breakdown of what ACV does inside your body. Ben also answers the most common listener questions about fasting, warm water, morning routines, and long-term use. FREE GUIDE: The World's Easiest Breakfast Diet - https://bit.ly/48KybFp 

Scrappy targeting, small segments, and extreme empathy for the audience sit at the center of this conversation on Scrappy ABM. Host Mason Cosby sits down with Tyler Lessard, CMO at Technology Advice, to move from a broad “B2B marketing leaders or demand gen leaders” ICP to focused clusters of accounts where the team can win day after day.ㅤTyler walks through breaking a market into specific industry subsegments like cybersecurity software vendors and HR tech vendors, backing those choices with win rates, average deal size, and field-level sales feedback. The discussion follows how in-person activations at industry conferences, niche newsletters, and original buyer insights research become “reasons to reach out” for sales and SDR teams. Along the way, Mason and Tyler highlight small, specific ABM programs with one rep and a handful of target accounts, measuring success by whether the right people at the right accounts show up, engage, ask questions, and move into real conversations.ㅤ

In episode #332, Ben Murray explains why AI companies with high inference costs and lower gross profit margins must scale dramatically faster—up to 6x larger—to match the financial performance of a comparable SaaS business. Using simple financial modeling and the core principles of SaaS economics, Ben breaks down how AI margins, variable COGS, and TAM expansion interact to shape the financial trajectory of AI-native companies. This episode builds on a recent blog post and downloadable Excel model, both linked in the show notes. Key Topics Covered Why SaaS metrics still apply to AI companies, but with different economic inputs The impact of AI inference costs on gross margin and scalability Comparing a SaaS company at 80 percent gross margin vs. an AI company at 55 percent Why an AI company needs 6x the revenue to generate the same EBITDA How lower gross profit changes cash flow, EBITDA, and company valuation Why larger TAM and higher ACV potential in AI may offset lower margins How attacking labor budgets expands revenue opportunity for AI products The myth that SaaS metrics are “broken” for AI companies Understanding how COGS scale in SaaS vs. AI and why the math still works Evaluating OPEX profiles when modeling scale scenarios How to use the downloadable template to test scenarios for your own AI or SaaS business Why This Matters This episode is critical for: AI founders modeling their unit economics SaaS founders embedding AI and needing to understand margin changes CFOs, controllers, FP&A leaders, and finance teams navigating AI cost structures Investors assessing the scalability and valuation profile of AI companies Operators planning cash runway, revenue forecasts, and growth investment Understanding these financial dynamics early ensures you can forecast accurately, raise capital more effectively, and prepare for due diligence with confidence.

In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast, recorded live at the SaaS Summit Benelux in Amsterdam, host Joran sat down with Richard Schenzel from AtScale. Richard and his team act as operating partners for B2B SaaS companies, helping them build, structure, and scale sales operations with a strong focus on improving performance.The conversation centered on how go-to-market (GTM) strategy is changing in 2026. From the rise of blended motions and the evolving role of ACV across PLG and sales-led setups, to how AI will reshape the entire funnel—Richard shared a pragmatic view into what will separate the SaaS companies that scale successfully from those that fall behind. He also explained why now is the time for deep introspection, how to audit your GTM machine, and why roles like SDR/BDR must be rethought in an AI-driven world.Key Timestamps(0:00) – The 2026 B2B SaaS GTM Shakeup: AI, PLG vs Sales-Led & ACV Truths(0:00) – Meet Richard Schenzel: The B2B SaaS Sales Ops Performance Architect(0:01) – GTM in 2026: AI-Driven Plays, Blended Motions & ACV Strategy(0:02) – Why 2026 Demands a Full GTM Audit: Blended Motions + ACV Reality(0:02) – PLG vs Sales-Led: How ACV Decides Your Entire GTM Motion(0:03) – The New Era of Efficient SaaS Growth: AI, Margin & Sales Efficiency(0:04) – Bow-Tie Model Power: Where AI Creates Massive GTM ROI(0:04) – Automate Your Sales Engine: AI Intent, Scoring, SDR Workflows & CS(0:05) – The 2026 SDR: Human Connection Beats Sequencing Automation(0:06) – 2026 Headcount Reset: New SDR/BDR, AE & RevOps Roles(0:07) – Train the Machines: Why People Still Win in AI-Driven GTM(0:07) – Ad Break: Reditus – The AI Affiliate Engine for B2B SaaS(0:08) – What Will Make SaaS Winners in 2026: Adapt Fast or Fall Behind(0:09) – The 2026 Mindset Shift: Stop Fixing Yesterday, Pivot Faster(0:09) – The GTM Implementation Blueprint: Mission → Strategy → Tech → People(0:11) – The “If It Ain't Broke” GTM Trap: How to Spot Hidden Failures(0:11) – The Ultimate SaaS GTM Audit: 1–5 Scoring Across Every Function(0:13) – Bow-Tie Data Mastery: Fix GTM Bottlenecks Faster With AI(0:14) – From 0 → 10K MRR: ICP, Feedback Loops & Avoiding Enterprise Traps(0:16) – Scaling to $10M ARR: ICP Alignment, Feature Pruning & $100M Roadmap(0:17) – Evolving Your ICP: Stay True to Your Customer & Your Mission(0:17) – Connect With Richard Schenzel on LinkedIn

In episode #331, Ben breaks down the true financial and economic differences between a SaaS company and an AI company. Inspired by a tweet claiming that “SaaS metrics are broken” and that AI companies generate more absolute profit per customer, Ben puts the theory to the test using real financial modeling. This episode walks through detailed revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, pricing power, TAM dynamics, and unit economics scenarios to determine whether AI companies actually outperform SaaS businesses. What This Episode Covers Why investors are questioning traditional SaaS metrics when evaluating AI companies The importance of recurring revenue fundamentals, whether the company is SaaS or AI A side-by-side comparison of a $1M SaaS company versus a $1M AI company Gross margin profiles: 80 percent SaaS vs. 55 percent AI How EBITDA changes when OpEx is held constant The revenue scale required for an AI company to match SaaS gross profit The revenue scale required for an AI company to match SaaS EBITDA Why AI companies need a TAM that is 6x larger How pricing power tied to labor displacement can shift AI unit economics Modeling ARPA increases to see when AI gross profit matches SaaS Why the underlying P&L structure does not change, but the inputs do How founders should think about forecasting and financial strategy when building AI-native products Why This Matters Founders embedding AI into SaaS products AI-native startups modeling their financial future CFOs and FP&A leaders forecasting revenue, cash, and margins Investors evaluating early-stage AI companies Operators building long-term company valuation strategies Ben emphasizes that the P&L, revenue streams, cost structure, and core KPI's still apply. What changes are the inputs—gross margin profile, pricing power, TAM, ACV, and scalability assumptions.

Scrappy ABM returns with host Mason Cosby and guest Liam MacCormack, founder and solopreneur at Growth by Liam, breaking down how real account-based marketing gets built when the ACV is high, the deals are complex, and shortcuts fail. Liam starts at the only place that matters: historical closed won accounts, not guesses. He walks through a massive breakdown of who books demos, who joins calls, who gets added into the product in PLG motions, and how that activity builds a clear picture of the buying group.ㅤThe conversation moves into where those personas actually spend time, why LinkedIn audience assumptions fall apart, how Reddit and niche communities come into play, and why talking directly to happy customers beats any ad platform pitch. Mason and Liam press into problem content versus solution content, high-intent measurement signals beyond revenue alone, and the scrappy, manual, “pain in the ass” direct mail and gifting-style plays that stand out in a world of ignored cold emails and identical ads.ㅤ

In episode #329, Ben Murray, The SaaS CFO, breaks down the growing debate around SaaS economics versus AI economics. A recent post claimed that “SaaS metrics are broken” and that traditional KPIs no longer apply to AI companies. Ben challenges this idea and walks through why recurring revenue metrics still matter, how revenue models differ across SaaS and AI, and what CFOs need to understand about gross margin, unit economics, and total addressable market. Key Topics Covered Why claims that SaaS metrics are “broken” are inaccurate The difference between SaaS economics and AI economics Why recurring revenue metrics still apply to AI companies How subscription versus usage revenue impacts KPI calculation Gross margin expectations for SaaS vs. AI companies Whether AI companies truly generate more profit per customer The role of absolute profit versus per-customer economics How AI may expand TAM by targeting labor budgets, not just software budgets How Agentic AI affects financial modeling and cost structures Using ROSE (Return on Software Employees) to evaluate AI-driven ROI What You'll Learn Why SaaS metrics still matter for both SaaS and AI companies How CFOs should evaluate margins, ARR, and revenue quality in AI models The difference between rate-based economics (ARPA, ACV) and volume-based economics (absolute profit) How to think about financial strategy when transitioning from a pure SaaS model to an AI-embedded product model How to assess realistic AI unit economics instead of relying on hype Who This Episode Is For SaaS CFOs and finance leaders evaluating AI investments Founders embedding AI into their product and adjusting their financial models Operators who want a grounded understanding of real AI economics Investors assessing how AI shifts revenue models and margins Related Resources Ben's upcoming deep-dive blog post on SaaS vs. AI economics: TheSaaSCFO.com SaaS Metrics Foundation course for mastering KPI's, ARR, MRR, and unit economics: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation ROSE metric framework for analyzing AI-driven productivity and financial systems: https://www.thesaascfo.com/saas-rose-metric/

Michael Assraf is building Flamingo, an open-source and AI-powered operating system for managed service providers. After exiting Vicarious in May 2024, he spent seven months on market research before writing a single line of code—conducting 15+ MSP interviews, mapping their complete tool stack economics, and testing distribution channels with a free community product. The research revealed a structural margin crisis: MSPs operate on 10-15% margins with 30% of revenue flowing to vendor payouts and 25-30% to technician labor. Meanwhile, private equity consolidation drives customer pricing down while legacy vendors raise prices. Michael closed a $2.2 million pre-seed in February 2025, built OpenMSP as a lead-gen vehicle that generated 1,000+ waitlist signups, and launched Open Frame with 70% of capital still in the bank. In this launch-day conversation, he breaks down why the $380 billion MSP market remains massively underinvested, how Facebook ads outperformed LinkedIn 5:1, and why he's giving away the core product while charging for hosted deployment. Topics Discussed: The seven-month research phase: 15+ MSP interviews, mapping 19 tool categories with pricing data, evaluating open source project maturity through commit frequency and VC backing MSP margin compression mechanics: 30% vendor payouts, 25-30% labor costs, 10-15% net margins being crushed by PE-driven consolidation and vendor price increases Building OpenMSP as distribution validation: four months before alpha, generated 1,000 waitlist signups and 200 Slack members while testing paid acquisition channels Why Facebook delivered 40%+ of leads at $6-8 CPL while outbound completely failed with IT-busy MSPs aged 25-50 in central US markets Launching with 70% of $2.2M pre-seed still in bank by solving for distribution and product-market fit before scaling headcount Open Frame's architecture: unified control plane over open source tools (RMM, SSO, zero trust) with dual AI agents—one for end users, one for technicians Offering both self-hosted (free, GitHub) and commercial SaaS (per-seat pricing starting January 2026) to build trust in an underserved market The MSP category opportunity: $380B market, 12% annual growth, 30-40K US MSPs, minimal VC-backed innovation against 20-year-old incumbents GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Build lead-gen infrastructure before you have a product to sell: Four months before launching Open Frame, Michael shipped OpenMSP—a free tool that analyzes MSP tech stacks and suggests open source replacements. It wasn't a waitlist landing page; it delivered standalone value while capturing intent data. This generated 1,000 qualified signups and 200 Slack community members while simultaneously validating paid acquisition channels. By launch, he knew Facebook cost $6-8 per lead while outbound failed completely. Most founders build product first, then scramble for distribution. Michael inverted the sequence. Fire fast on sales hires in early stage, or don't hire them at all: Michael fired three VP Sales at Vicarious before learning the lesson: "The moment to bring salespeople is not when you are able to sell your product, is when someone else is able to sell your product." The critical test isn't whether the founder can close deals—founders sell vision and relationship. The test is whether a marketing person, SDR, or non-sales hire can generate revenue. Only then do salespeople accelerate an already-working motion. Hiring VP Sales at $50K ARR because the board wants "someone to own revenue" burns 12+ months and $200K+ learning this. Spend 6-12 months researching before building in unfamiliar markets: Michael conducted 15+ MSP interviews, mapped all 19 tool categories they use with pricing, evaluated open source alternatives by analyzing GitHub commit frequency and pull requests, identified which projects had VC backing for long-term viability, and tested multiple marketing channels before alpha deployment. This allowed him to launch with product-market fit indicators already validated and 70% of his $2.2M still in the bank. The alternative—build fast, iterate with customers—works when you deeply understand the market. When you don't, research is cheaper than pivots. Target categories where lack of innovation creates adoption momentum: MSPs represent 30-40K companies in the US alone, part of a $380B global market growing 12% annually. Yet VCs historically avoided the space assuming low ACV and high churn. The dominant platforms—ConnectWise, Datto, Asea—have existed 20+ years with minimal AI adoption or architectural modernization. Michael specifically chose MSPs because "in cyber security you would never get traction that we're getting right now unless you're spending millions of dollars." In crowded categories, distribution cost kills you. In starved categories, any credible innovation gets attention. Architect your product so adoption mechanically improves customer unit economics: Open Frame attacks both sides of MSP margin compression simultaneously. The open source tool suite eliminates the 30% of revenue paid to commercial vendors. The dual AI agent system (end-user self-service + technician orchestration) reduces the 25-30% spent on labor. Michael didn't find a problem and then figure out monetization—he reverse-engineered a solution where product adoption directly expands customer margins. When your product makes customers structurally more profitable, adoption isn't a marketing problem. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Host, Matt Mitteldorfer, sits down with Brian & Jamie Johnson of Crescent Automotive (Aiken, SC) to explore how a family-run store uses smart tech and human-first values to rewrite the playbook. The Johnsons share how they've embraced practical technology to simplify operations and put customers first. When introduced to ACV's ClearCar solution, it immediately clicked—simple, transparent, and easy—a natural fit for their customer-centric, customer-first way of doing business.They share how a predominantly female team helps create a gentler, low-pressure experience for women and families, and how word of mouth and long-term relationships still drive the business. Plus, they unpack how ACV's Guaranteed Sale has helped steady inventory and speed up turns with multiple bidders on every car launched. It's a conversation about modernizing without losing the human touch—and building trust one interaction at a time.

Raising a Series A? Your story matters—but your SaaS metrics may close the deal. In episode #322, Ben outlines the investor-ready metrics founders must prepare. You'll learn what each metric signals to investors, how it ties to valuation, and where founders slip on accounting and financial systems. Why It Matters (Investor Lens) Investor metrics translate your story and traction into company valuation (multiples tied to growth + retention quality). Clean financial modeling depends on accurate accounting (COGS vs OPEX), solid financial systems, and reliable unit economics. Segmented metrics (by ACV/product/segment) de-risk assumptions and speed due diligence.

In this episode, we're joined by Jakob Lilholm, Co-founder & CEO at Formalize, the Danish-based compliance SaaS that went from a single-point whistleblowing tool to a multi-product GRC platform used by 8,000+ customers across ~80 countries. Jakob shares how his team timed EU regulatory tailwinds, built whistleblowing software, and then layered products on top, shifting from high-volume transactional sales to a focused, consultative motion for regulated industries. Fresh off announcing a €30M Series B, Jakob walks through the internal rewiring it took: carving out an innovation pod with its own OKRs, resisting flattering false positives from the existing base, and proving platform demand with new-logo sales first, going from ~€100k ARR on the platform to >50% of company revenue in a year.  Here are some of the key questions we address: When do you expand from a point solution to a platform? We discuss the timing model Formalize used (EU roadmap + S-curve “next wave” before the first peaks). What's the right ICP for a platform? Why did they end up narrowing their ICP and say “not yet” to others? How do you avoid false positives when you already have thousands of customers? Jakob explains why he decided to validate platform fit with new logos first. What org design supports a second act like this? How do you shift GTM, pricing, and messaging? What is the process moving from low ACV sales to higher-ACV, consultative deals without breaking the engine? Which metrics matter in the first year of a platform bet? How do you prove value creation, track conversion quality, and know when to re-inject the core team?

We're on location at a shuttered dealership in Texas to discuss one of the biggest cautionary tales in recent BHPH history. From alleged fraud to financial collapse, this episode breaks down what went wrong and the critical lessons every independent dealer needs to learn.In this special edition, we explore the downfall of what was once considered a poster child operation in the buy-here-pay-here industry. Just two years ago, this dealership was featured at industry conferences and praised across LinkedIn. Today?

Does Net Revenue Retention (NRR) really move your company's valuation multiple? Absolutely — and the difference can be worth tens of millions of dollars. In episode #319, Ben Murray breaks down new data from Meritech Capital and Benchmarkit.ai to show exactly how changes in your NRR directly impact your revenue multiple and SaaS valuation. You'll also learn why ACV segmentation matters when benchmarking NRR and Gross Revenue Retention (GRR), and how top-performing SaaS companies are using retention metrics to drive investor confidence and higher valuations. What You'll Learn The link between NRR and valuation multiples — a 7-point jump in NRR can double your multiple. How a $5M ARR company can see a $25M valuation swing from retention improvements. The latest SaaS benchmarks from Ray Rike (Benchmarkit.ai) for NRR and GRR. Why you must benchmark NRR by ACV, not company size or industry averages Why investors prioritize retention when evaluating durability, efficiency, and predictability of revenue. Why It Matters For SaaS Founders: NRR improvements can directly increase your exit or fundraising valuation. For CFOs & Finance Leaders: Retention trends reveal the sustainability of your revenue model and influence your ARR growth forecast. For Investors: High NRR signals strong customer economics, pricing power, and efficient growth. For Operators: Knowing your NRR by ACV cohort allows smarter resource allocation and customer success planning. Resources Mentioned The SaaS CFO Academy: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/#section-1744932157830 Quote from Ben “A 5X difference in valuation multiple can come down to just a few points in your net revenue retention. That's the power of strong SaaS metrics.”

A few months ago, today's insured decided to jump into the latest trend for a lot of suburban dwellers, and he got some chickens! He built a chicken coop and a caged in area for the chickens to be safe from predators. The coop itself looks like a very large shed with a fenced-in area extending from the coop. The insured calls up their agent to ask if there's coverage for the coop under their HO 00 03 03 22 policy covering their home and an attached garage.   Notable Timestamps [00:00] - A homeowner built a large chicken coop and asked their insurer whether it was covered under their 2022 homeowners policy. [02:00] - The hosts dive into trivia, noting that chickens are genetically the closest living relatives to the T-Rex. [05:00] - Coverage depends on construction: a coop attached to the house may fall under Coverage A, but detached coops lean toward Coverage B or C. [07:30] - One key test is portability: if the coop can move with the owner, it likely counts as personal property under Coverage C. [10:00] - Courts consider a variety of factors, e.g. how the coop is affixed, its adaptation for use, and the owner's intent to keep or move it. [12:30] - Some coops are deliberately not anchored to protect against flooding or predators, adding complexity to coverage classification. [14:25] - Similar issues arise with swing sets, pools, and other backyard structures—each must be evaluated individually. [15:15] - Selling eggs could cross the line into business use, potentially excluding coverage under standard homeowner policies. [18:00] - Coverage type affects settlement: Coverage B buildings may qualify for replacement cost, while Coverage C property is typically ACV. [20:00] - Beth provides a recap of the points above.

 For more than a century, Bragg Live Foods has been the name synonymous with apple cider vinegar (ACV), wellness, and trusted natural remedies. Now, the pioneer brand is making history by launching the first-ever National Apple Cider Vinegar Day on September 23, 2025, with a celebration at the iconic Santa Monica Pier (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.). The event—dubbed the “Trendy Trade-In”—invites Angelenos to bring their abandoned wellness fads (from dusty diet powders to unused gadgets) and swap them for something that has stood the test of time: Bragg's apple cider vinegar. This lighthearted pop-up is more than just fun; it's a cultural moment that challenges wellness fatigue while highlighting why ACV has remained a household staple for generations. Why Apple Cider Vinegar Still Matters In a world overflowing with “miracle” products, many consumers are feeling exhausted by the constant churn of wellness trends. According to new national survey findings from Bragg, most Americans admit they've wasted money on short-lived fads they later regret. This cluttered cabinet of unused products reveals a broader truth: people crave simple, effective, and time-tested solutions. That's where ACV comes in. Used for over 100 years as a natural tonic for digestion, energy, and overall vitality, apple cider vinegar continues to resonate across generations. Linda Boardman, CEO of Bragg Live Foods, explains that ACV represents the antidote to fleeting trends: “Our mission is to inspire and nourish healthy living with practices that truly last. ACV has endured because it works—plain and simple.” The Next Wave of Functional Beverages Boardman, a leading voice in the natural food and beverage industry, will also share insights on how functional beverages are shaping the future of wellness. From hydration with benefits to guilt-free refreshment, these drinks answer the demand for everyday solutions that support health without overcomplicating it.

The SaaS Magic Number is one of the most Googled SaaS metric posts — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In episode #310, Ben Murray explains what the SaaS Magic Number really measures, why investors care about it, and the benchmarks you should use to evaluate your own business model. From the formula (revenue growth vs. sales & marketing spend) to the nuances (why churn and expansion impact the metric), Ben shows SaaS operators how to avoid common pitfalls. You'll also hear the latest benchmark data from Ray Rike at Benchmarkit.ai, giving you investor-ready context for your next fundraising or valuation conversation. What You'll Learn: What the SaaS Magic Number is and how to calculate it. Why it's more than just a sales and marketing efficiency metric. The nuance: contraction, churn, and customer success also affect the number. Why ARR size and ACV segmentation are critical for accurate benchmarking. When the metric is most useful (short sales cycles, PLG) vs. when to be cautious (enterprise sales cycles). Why It Matters for SaaS Operators & Investors: The Magic Number is a widely used investor metric to gauge efficiency. Clean reporting builds confidence with investors and supports higher company valuations. Benchmarks by ARR and ACV provide a realistic picture of growth efficiency. Using the wrong interpretation can lead to bad decisions in finance strategy and fundraising.

Story at-a-glance Apple cider vinegar (ACV) supports digestion, blood sugar balance, and satiety by slowing gastric emptying and stabilizing your energy after meals Just 1 tablespoon daily, diluted in water, helped participants lose weight, shrink waistlines, and eliminate digestive symptoms in under 30 days, according to a recent study ACV's active compound, acetic acid, improves insulin sensitivity and reduces fat formation by helping the body burn glucose more efficiently and store less fat after meals ACV also works topically and around the home. Use it to treat dandruff, reduce nasal congestion, sanitize toothbrushes, and soothe bloating, acid reflux, or minor infections Consuming undiluted vinegar can damage your teeth and esophagus, and combining it with medications like insulin or diuretics can dangerously lower potassium levels — here are some tips to help you use ACV safely

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    John: Hey doc. I've been doing the heavy metal detox once a year for about 5 years now. Should I keep taking other supplements while I'm on the detox. I take men's hair support, balanced zinc , magnesium and dns . Just wanted to know if the detox cancels out the other stuff . Thanks                                                                                                                                 Tanya: What causes Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase to be high? My number has been considered "high" for my last three readings.I cannot find any information regarding higher levels, but a lot on lower levels. Thank you                         Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've used things like ACV and homemade fire cider in the past for various reasons, but stopped because I would instantly develop mucus in the back of my throat. Seemed like maybe I was adding stress to my body rather than the intended healing properties I was looking for in these remedies. Is this a histamine issue? I know I'm sensitive to high histamine foods and alcohol and will instantly flush red and feel overheated especially face, neck, and all my joints. I tend to avoid these things. Should I stay away from things like ACV and fire cider while I'm sorting out my histamine issue? Thanks!                                                                                                                                                                Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all you do! Im currently studying to become an IHP and have learnt so much!I have a couple questions, firstly, I live in Australia & just wondering if at the end of becoming an IHP do you recommend to go onto study naturopathy as I have an interest in that or do you think IHP alone is enough? Secondly, I am 29 and I have always struggled with a really heavy period. It has gotten heavier & I get a lot of clotting. I had test done awhile back with Naturopath and come back a little lower in progesterone, but all my other hormones were perfect. I get sore breast, hold water weight and am irritable after ovulation. I used to experience PMDD. I have done the 21 day detox & am currently doing the CBO protocol as I also have quite severe Leaky gut. Thank you                                                                           John: Hey doc. If I buy the red light cap that you recommend should I still take your men's hair support .

Is baking soda safe to drink? It has been used in countless natural remedies, but are there any baking soda dangers you should be aware of? Watch this video before drinking baking soda or using a baking soda remedy!0:00 Introduction: Is baking soda safe to drink? 0:39 Baking soda health benefits 0:49 Baking soda for an acid stomach 2:49 Baking soda for teeth and oral health4:33 How to safely use baking soda 5:11 Other natural remedies using baking soda Sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline compound made naturally by the pancreas to help neutralize stomach acid as it enters the small intestine. A poorly functioning pancreas can result in bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Baking soda can work as a temporary solution for an acid stomach, but not for indigestion! Indigestion is caused by low stomach acid, so baking soda would only worsen the problem. Apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride can help with indigestion. GERD and acid reflux are also related to low stomach acid, but baking soda can help temporarily. ACV and betaine hydrochloride are better long-term solutions. Baking soda can also help with gastritis, but it should be taken with zinc carnosine for this problem.Stomach acid should be highly acidic with a pH between 1 and 3. Drinking baking soda for long periods can neutralize your stomach acid, inhibiting your ability to digest protein, absorb B12, and absorb minerals. Low stomach acid can also lower your ability to kill microbes and pathogens in your food.Baking soda neutralizes the acid in your mouth and is an excellent addition to toothpaste. It can also help relieve itching related to a kidney problem and enhance athletic performance! Baking soda consumption can help prevent kidney stones and can also be helpful if you have a UTI.Baking soda can be used topically for certain insect bites, especially for fire ant bites and bee stings. It can also be used as pest control for insects like cockroaches. Don't take baking soda with vinegar or lemon juice! This creates a significant amount of carbon dioxide, which can leave you feeling bloated.
