Small business owners have plenty to worry about these days. According to John Arensmeyer, founder and CEO of Small Business Majority, his organization's surveys show optimism is slipping as owners grapple with soaring health insurance premiums, rising energy costs, and the higher price of imported goods. And yet, the wave of entrepreneurship that began during the pandemic hasn't faded. In fact, it's still growing. So what's going on? Why are so many people choosing this moment to start businesses? What do they think they're seeing? And perhaps the more important question: What can we do to improve their odds of success? Along the way, John also makes the case that one of today's politicians understands the needs of small businesses better than most. You may be surprised by who he names.

Bhaskar Sunkara grew up in Delhi, India, and moved to the states when he started working. He has lived in San Fransisco for several decades now, and has spent a lot of his professional life building systems (infrastructure, observability and now, analytics). His prior startup, AppDynamics, was eventually acquired by Cisco. In general, he stays curious about how things work, and likes to deconstruct systems to figure out how they work. Outside of tech, he is a big sports fan, enjoying football, baseball, cricket and basketball. In fact, he grew up watching Michael Jordan and the bulls.Bhaskar noticed that business teams were drowning in dashboards, and as such, were not sure how to take the next steps in the business. He and his team realized that what people needed was not a retroactive view, but a proactive one - something more akin to a 24x7 analyst.This is the creation story of Bicycle AI.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://bicycle.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhaskarsunkara/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://cash.app* Check out Plaud AI and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://plaud.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us Fan MailPricing AI is the hardest pricing problem in software right now, and most SaaS leaders are getting it wrong on the first try. In this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, host Yanique Grant sits down with Dan Balcauski, founder of Product Tranquility, to unpack why the first AI price a company sets is always wrong, how to set usage caps when you have no historical data, and what smart B2B SaaS leaders do differently to turn pricing from a liability into a strategic advantage.Dan has spent more than 20 years in software, starting as an engineer before moving into product management and discovering that how a company captures value matters far more than how it builds the product. Today he advises B2B SaaS CEOs on the AI pricing and packaging decisions that keep them up at night, and in this conversation he shares the frameworks, the mistakes to avoid, and the practical playbook he uses with real companies.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy the first AI price is always wrong, and why that has nothing to do with how smart your team or your consultants are. Dan explains the fundamental economic shift underway in software, where both sides of the pricing equation are moving at once. On the cost side, he points to a benchmark showing the cost per task for a top model dropping by roughly 390 times in a single year, a change no normal business ever absorbs in its cost of goods sold. On the value side, models keep getting more capable, handling this month what they could not handle last month. His research shows that every application layer software company he studied that released AI capabilities revised its pricing and packaging within 18 months. The lesson is not to price perfectly on day one. It is to build for change.How to set usage caps and pricing tiers with zero historical data. Dan frames the real problem plainly. You know what a token costs, but you have no idea what customers will actually do with a new AI feature. Products are full of features that barely got adopted, and AI features do not get to skip that step of the innovation cycle. On top of that, a small group of power users, often around 5 to 10 percent, can drive the overwhelming majority of usage and cost. That makes the tempting shortcuts unreliable. Using dashboard views as a proxy breaks down because good AI gets used far more than the dashboards it replaces, and a beta group rarely matches the usage profile of the full market.The early access playbook that sits between beta and general availability. Dan recommends a stage where companies announce their limits, put a price on the feature, and communicate it clearly, but do not enforce or meter it yet for a defined window that can run anywhere from six weeks to 18 months. This eases customer anxiety about surprise bills, encourages real adoption, and lets the company gather genuine usage patterns instead of guessing from proxies that break down.Why you should separate ordinary plan limits from fair use limits. Even when you are not metering usage, Dan explains, you can reserve the right to throttle or downgrade the rare customer using a capability a hundred or a thousand times more than the average, much like companies already do with API request limits. Those levers let teams keep experimenting during early access without the finance team panicking when the bill arrives.Why communication is where pricing changes succeed or fail. As Dan puts it, most pricing blowups come not from the change itself but from the fact that it was communicated poorly or not at all. Agility beats certainty, and reviewing pricing on a quarterly cadence beats the old annual or five year rhythm.This episode is essential listening for SaaS founders, product leaders, pricing strategists, and customer experience professionals who want to understand how AI is reshaping the economics of software and what to do about it before the market forces the decision for them.ABOUT DAN BALCAUSKIDan Balcauski is the founder of Product Tranquility, where he helps B2B SaaS CEOs turn pricing from a confusing liability into a strategic advantage. With more than 20 years in software, Dan began his career as an engineer before moving into product management and discovering that how companies capture value matters far more than how they build it. His work now centers on one of the most pressing questions in software today: how to price AI. Before founding Product Tranquility, Dan was a principal product strategist at SolarWinds and head of product at LawnStarter. He holds a BSc in computer engineering from Iowa State University and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, where he also helps teach executive education courses on product strategy. He is the host of the SaaS Scaling Secrets podcast.QUESTIONS YANIQUE ASKEDCould you share a little about your journey and how you got from where you were to where you are today? You have said the first AI price is always wrong. Why is that, and what should a SaaS company do differently knowing they are going to get it wrong the first time? So many companies are trying to set usage caps and pricing tiers for AI with zero historical data. How would you advise a CEO to make that decision when they are essentially flying blind? What is the one online resource, tool, website, or application that you absolutely cannot live without in your business? Can you share one or two books that have had a positive impact on you, professionally or personally? What is one thing going on in your life right now that you are really excited about? Do you have a quote or saying that keeps you on track during times of adversity? Where can listeners find and connect with you online?KEY TAKEAWAYSThe first AI price is always wrong, and that is not a failure of intelligence. It reflects a fundamental economic shift where both cost and value are moving fast. Every application layer company Dan studied revised its AI pricing and packaging within 18 months. Plan for revision, not perfection. Agility beats certainty. Review pricing on a quarterly cadence rather than annually or every five years. Communication is where pricing changes succeed or fail. Most blowups come from poor communication, not the change itself. Usage proxies break down. Dashboard views and beta groups rarely predict how customers will actually use an AI feature. A small group of power users can drive the majority of usage and cost, so average user assumptions are dangerous. Early access is the smart middle stage. Announce and price the limits, communicate them, but do not meter yet while you gather real data. Separate plan limits from fair use limits. Reserve the right to throttle extreme usage even when you are not metering everyone. Do not borrow problems from the future. Anxiety about what has not happened yet only adds problems to the present. AI is making custom, personal business software economically viable for the first time, opening the door to tools built exactly the way you work.CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction and Guest Bio 01:51 Dan's Journey: From Engineer to Pricing Strategist 04:03 Learning That Pricing Is Different in Every Industry 04:49 Why the First AI Price Is Always Wrong 05:36 The 390x Cost Shift and the Moving Value Equation 06:49 Agility, Faster Pricing Reviews, and Communication 09:28 Setting Usage Caps With No Historical Data 11:32 Why Dashboard Proxies and Beta Groups Break Down 12:59 The Early Access Playbook Between Beta and GA 13:20 Plan Limits vs. Fair Use Limits 17:04 The One Tool Dan Cannot Live Without: Claude Code 17:38 Book Recommendation: Monetizing Innovation 18:31 Building Custom Business Software With AI 19:55 How to Connect With Dan Online 20:27 Dan's Guiding Quote: Don't Borrow Problems From the FutureFEATURED RESOURCESBook mentioned: Monetizing Innovation by Madhavan Ramanujam and Georg TackeTool mentioned: Claude Code, Dan's work surface and the engine behind his custom business softwareCONNECT WITH DANLinkedIn: Search Dan Balcauski on LinkedIn, and mention that you heard him on the podcast so he can separate you from the spamWebsite: producttranquility.comPodcast: SaaS Scaling Secrets, wherever podcasts are foundDAN'S GUIDING QUOTE"Don't borrow problems from the future." Dan BalcauskiDan explains that most of our anxiety is about things that have not happened yet. Worrying about a future scenario pulls that problem into the present before it ever arrives, giving you more to carry now for no reason. Like debt, it is borrowing against your future self. His practice is to stay focused on what is real and in front of him, which keeps him grounded when challenges or uncertainty threaten to pull him off track.ABOUT N
E-commerce order volumes are climbing, but bottom-line profits aren't keeping pace. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Tevon Taylor are joined by Lori Boyer, Head of Content Marketing at EasyPost and host of Unboxing Logistics. They explore how to protect margins by moving away from broad averages and toward customer precision and AI-driven routing strategies. Lori explains how unmanaged growth creates a hidden operational tax for businesses. She makes the case for focusing on order quality over pure volume, calculating the true contribution margin per order, and using technology to treat delivery as a customer retention tool rather than a standard cost center. She also shares a case study where an operator leveraged practical AI tools to save $2 million annually and drastically cut late deliveries without changing carriers or contracts. Tevon and Lori discuss core operating principles for winning organizations; breaking free from baseline defaults, segmenting customers by economic value, and building multi-carrier optionality to safeguard against rate spikes. They highlight how moving past standard averages helps operators stop losing money and ensure top customers receive the elite experience they deserve.

Mallory is joined by Megan Cabrera, Director of Strategic Enrollment Management at Okanagan College, about an enrollment trap she calls “residual momentum,” where funnels look stable after marketing spend is cut, then collapse years later. Megan recounts pulling investment from a long-time feeder market during a budget crunch; applications initially held steady, but after partner institutions became degree-granting competitors, yield dropped from 25–50 students to 3–5. They discuss why dashboards lag reality and what earlier signals to watch, including engagement velocity, market penetration, conversion quality, competitor visibility, and relationship health with high schools. Megan argues for integrated, cross-department KPIs to fix handoffs, shares a digital check-in system built with IT to improve service and capture friction-point data, and cautions that AI and CRMs worsen problems without connected systems, data governance, shared definitions, and clear ownership.

That's not a motivation problem and it's not a “work harder” problem. It's financial visibility. We dig into the hidden £100k net profit gap that sits between what your accounts report and what you actually need to know to make decisions week to week, from tax planning to hiring to investing back into the business.Barry shares the reality of being an accidental business owner: brilliant at dentistry, less confident with P&Ls, and often forced to make calls based on old information. We talk about why annual accounts are inherently retrospective, how that pushes you into “rear-view mirror” management, and why scaling needs a future number that scares you and a plan that works backwards. You'll hear real examples of what changes when dentists finally know their break-even point and KPIs, and how that confidence shows up in both profitability and quality of life.Then Shashir gets practical on the question dentists ask all the time: “Why do I have profit but no cash?” We break it down into cash flow forecasting, keeping today's cash intact while planning future outflows, and avoiding over-leverage when you are growing fast. We also cover dental practice benchmarking so you can spot overspend in staff costs, lab fees, materials and overheads, plus why tracking treatment mix by margin matters more than chasing high production values. Finally, we tackle associate profitability and how transparent data can improve trust, performance, and negotiation.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

There have been a lot of stories lately about companies getting hit with surprisingly large AI bills. They start using platforms like ChatGPT or Claude, usage grows faster than expected, and suddenly they're spending far more than they ever imagined. Should small businesses be worried? I invited AI consultant and longtime business owner Alan Pentz back on the podcast to find out. His answer may surprise you: for most small businesses, he says, runaway AI costs aren't the problem. If anything, he thinks they're spending too little.That led us into a wide-ranging conversation about why Alan has changed his thinking on how owners should approach AI, why today's pricing is effectively subsidized for smaller businesses, when it does—and doesn't—matter which model you're using, why mastering prompt writing is becoming less valuable than many people assume, and what happens when the companies behind the large language models finally have to start making real money.

A custom CEO dashboard used to cost $25,000 to $50,000 and months of development. In this video, Manuel Suarez — The Marketing Ninja — shows how he built one in about an hour and a half using AI, with basically two prompts and zero code. You'll see the exact process: how to describe your business to AI (industry, client types, retainers, revenue model), how to use reverse prompting so the AI writes your master build prompt for you, how to iterate with your branding and real KPIs like retention, receivables, and client lifetime value, and how to publish it to the web with Vercel — password-protected, on a custom domain, night mode included. If you want to see your whole business at a glance without hiring a developer, this is the blueprint.Subscribe for weekly AI + marketing breakdowns from Manuel Suarez, The Marketing Ninja.

Great players don't just grind levels.They monitor their stats.In video games, there's something called a Heads-Up Display, or HUD. It's the information panel that shows your character's status while you're playing — your health, energy, armor, ammo, experience points.It's basically your character's dashboard.And here's the idea for today:Your body has a dashboard too.Signals.Data.Feedback.Clues about how your system is performing.But most people go through life completely ignoring it.They train when they should recover.They push when their body is exhausted.They sleep poorly, eat poorly, and then wonder why their performance drops.Today we're going to talk about five health stats you should start paying attention to if you want to level up your health, fitness, and longevity.Because the best players don't just train harder.They manage their system better.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Jared Bell never planned to own a fencing business. He took a summer job at Butte Fence in 1994, liked the work, and decided to skip college and stay. Thirteen years later, he bought out a partner and took over day-to-day operations—just in time for the Great Recession. The company survived that challenge and has gone on to thrive, but not by following a conventional growth playbook. Bell has expanded the business by repeatedly asking a simple question: Why buy from a supplier when we can do it better ourselves? Over the years, Butte Fence has developed new products, configured more efficient processes, and steadily moved upstream, turning vendors into competitors and creating entirely new businesses along the way. In our conversation, Bell explains how that strategy evolved, what it takes to pull it off, and how a small business can identify opportunities hiding in its own supply chain.

The money came from small jobs and side work, carefully set aside in a separate bank account opened specifically for that purpose. But when the balance exceeded a certain threshold, the financial system automatically froze the account. Overnight, Shiva had been cut off from his own money. When the issue was escalated to the branch manager of his bank, they explained that the freeze was automatically imposed from the central bank's IT system, and there was nothing they could do. To recover access, he was prompted to complete forms written in English, a language he could not easily navigate. Ultimately, the account was restored only after outside intervention from a friend who helped push the case through a process Shiva could not resolve on his own.

SaaStr 863: The Enterprise AI Reality Check: From Dashboard Graveyards to 30-Day Migrations with Databricks' Co-Founder and SVP of Field Engineering Every Fortune 500 CEO has told their team that if they are not using AI, they are behind. So now every employee is token-maxing, spend is going up, and almost nobody can tell you what they are getting out of it. That is the reality Databricks sees from the front lines, serving more of the Fortune 500 than any other data and AI company on the planet. In this episode, Databricks Co-Founder and SVP of Field Engineering, Arsalan Tavakoli, sits down with SaaStr CEO and Founder, Jason Lemkin, to cut through the Twitter noise and talk about what enterprises are actually doing, what is still broken, and why the next 24 months will fundamentally change who wins and who loses in every major software category. You'll learn: Why the BI dashboard is dead and what replaces it - including how a car manufacturer just onboarded 70,000 non-technical users to query their own data in plain language with no analyst in the loop What "context" actually means for enterprise AI and why it is harder to solve than the data problem, using a framework that explains why agents fail even when the underlying data is clean Why no software monopoly survives the next 24 months, and how collapsing migration costs and low-end AI competitors are about to give every incumbent a pricing problem they cannot ignore How Databricks now completes enterprise-grade migrations in 30 days or less using LLMs to analyze, convert, and reconcile legacy systems that previously took years and cost more than the savings Why the murky middle is the most dangerous place to be in enterprise software right now, and how to know which side of the AI budget divide your product actually sits on

Watch on Youtube - https://youtu.be/qqJL9-qY8Fw Etsy's dashboard can feel overwhelming, but the numbers are actually telling you where your shop is healthy, where it's leaking sales, and what you should work on next. In this episode, I break down how to look at your Etsy stats without emotionally reacting to one bad month. We talk about comparing year-over-year data, why you should look at at least a three-month snapshot, and how to tell whether your shop is actually declining or just following a normal seasonal pattern. I also walk through what I look for when auditing an Etsy shop, including traffic sources, Etsy organic traffic, top-viewed listings, best-selling products, and the keywords bringing buyers into your shop. The big question is this: are people clicking on what Etsy is showing them, and are those listings actually converting? You'll also learn the difference between inspirational keywords and detailed keywords, why both matter, and how to use your dashboard to find new listing opportunities without messing up your best-performing listings.
The Dashboard Is Dead: What Snowflake's CMO Does Instead Denise Persson runs a 700-person marketing organization at one of the most data-rich companies on the planet, and she does not start her morning by logging into a dashboard. She interrogates her data directly, gets answers to questions she used to have to Slack three people about, and moves on. No meetings about the numbers. No debates about what the pipeline data means. No waiting until end of quarter to find out if a campaign worked. In this session, Denise joins SaaStr CAIO Amelia LeRutte to break down what AI-powered marketing actually looks like when you have the scale, the data infrastructure, and the compliance requirements of Snowflake, and what founders and marketing leaders at any stage can steal from the playbook right now. You'll learn: How Snowflake cut cost per opportunity by 30% by using agents to optimize media spend in real time across fragmented channels that used to require separate analytics for each What Denise's morning brief actually contains, from pipeline projections to org health to flagged travel expenses, and why nobody gets a Slack message from her anymore Why the GTM engineer is the only marketing function Snowflake is actively hiring into, what profiles are converting into the role, and why business analysts are not making the list How to build AI fluency across a large team without making it mandatory or performative, including the weekly AI challenge, quarterly AI days, and a leaderboard that rewards curiosity over token count Why data quality is the single most important investment before deploying any agent, and why bad data plus AI just means bad decisions faster and at scale This is for you if: You lead a marketing team of any size and want to see what the "most AI-assisted marketing team in B2B" actually looks like in practice, not in a slide deck You are trying to figure out how to get a large or compliance-sensitive org moving on agents without losing control of what they are doing You want to understand what the GTM engineer role actually looks like day to day and how to find or develop one inside your existing team
A health scare in 2015 prompted Julia Beardwood to confront a question many business owners prefer to postpone: What happens when it's time to leave the business? Over the next several years, the founder of the New York City branding agency Beardwood explored a range of possibilities, including selling to an ESOP and pursuing a strategic acquisition. But when the time came, the solution turned out to be much closer to home. Years earlier, Julia had implemented a compensation strategy that gave key employees a meaningful stake in the company's success. What began as a way to motivate and retain talent ultimately created a pathway for ownership transition.
It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with Brian once again flying solo as he walks you through VibeCoding. Even if you think VibeCoding is not for you, stick around and give it a listen, as you will be amazed at how simple it really is. Brian will walk you through working with Claude to build actual real life web based and iOS apps, Xcode, Terminal, and demo part of his web based Baseball SIM and iOS That Real Movie Quiz game. The first thing Brian walks you through is some of his work in Claude with his Baseball SIM. You will see how he talks to Claude and the responses he receives. After walking you through some prompting to Claude and its responses on fixes to his project, Brian then walks you through the main menu structure of his Baseball SIM game. Then he walks you through the Dashboard to the game. This is where a lot of the fun is located. Brian SIMS a game and shows you the box score for that game, where the Yankees win, Yankees win! Then you will get to see or hear some real gameplay with the announcer in action. After the Baseball SIM demo, Brian begins discussing the Movie Jeopardy game now called That Real Movie Quiz game he is creating. The game is in very early Test Flight stage with a working prototype. First thing Brian walks you through is some more prompting with Claude, but this time he is recording all of his work in real time. Claude leads Brian through some file replacements which then leads him in to Xcode. Brian then fires up That Real Movie quiz on his iPhone, but runs in to an issue where there are only two categories on the Board. Not to worry, as running in to issues is part of working, designing, and developing with Claude. Brian then takes a break, and gets back in to it all the next day and describes what went wrong with his That Real Movie Quiz iOS game. Then it is back to Claude to find out what caused this issue in the latest build of the game. Off the air, Brian made the necessary fixes to That Real Movie Quiz, and he then demos the current final product on his iPhone. That Real Movie Quiz is now in early beta testing, and if you would like to test out the app through Test flight on your iPhone, shoot us in an email to ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, and we will get back to you, or Brian will get back to you, or an unfired intern will get back to you. Basically someone will get back to you.

Working with MESA Lab, a regime-backed research lab, Geedge is reportedly building behavioral profiles of individuals based on their social media, location data, telecommunications, and online activity. AI models could then sift through profiles and spotlight those who might be a political risk. There is no evidence the technology is finalized or deployed, but if deployed, China's surveillance system could become a tool to chill dissent before it ever begins.

Feeling stuck at work? It's not always about effort or lack thereof. It's often about clarity, purpose, and the right people in your corner. Pete Schramm, career development expert and the founder of employee connection and retention platform, Lattitude, argues that better employee engagement comes from something far more human than what a new app or dashboard could offer. Schramm walks through three practical tools: “Ikigai” to rediscover what makes your work meaningful, career maps to reveal options beyond your current role, and a personal board of advisors to take the pressure off finding one perfect mentor. It's a refreshing take on growth that puts people first.

For years, Kim Robinson worked on the brand side, helping major companies connect with artists and creatives. Eventually, he decided he'd rather be working for the artists themselves. So he launched 3pts, a company that helps creatives handle the business side of their careers—everything from pricing and marketing to partnerships and strategy—so they can spend more time focused on the work they love.The first challenge, Kim says, is convincing artists that thinking about money and business doesn't somehow compromise their creativity. The second is helping them understand that even the most gifted creatives still need a framework for pricing, positioning, and building sustainable careers. In our conversation, Kim explains why so many artists struggle with the entrepreneurial side of their work, what brands often misunderstand about creative talent, and why he eventually realized he had more in common with his clients than he expected.

In This Episode of Business Lunch: We explore how business owners can maximize their exit multiples by focusing on clarity, positioning, and structure in the final months before a sale.

There are roughly a thousand ways to roll out a new analytics platform, a BI tool migration, or an AI initiative to your organization. Most of them involve a town hall, an email with a link to some training materials, and the quiet hope that everyone figures it out. Most of them also don't really work. On this episode, Yehonatan Schwarzmer joined Michael, Val, and Tim to bring some long-overdue organizational change management thinking into the analytics conversation. Yehonatan has the unusual combination of real-world experience in both change management consulting and data leadership, which makes him exactly the right person to explain why the technical rollout is the easy part. The harder part is understanding that when someone says "this tool doesn't have what I need," they might really be saying "I was the hero in the old system and I don't know who I'll be in the new one." The Kübler-Ross grief model shows up. Psychological safety shows up (reluctantly). And Val's question about who analysts should recruit to help them manage change at scale almost gets answered.
