In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast, host Joran welcomes back Jacco van der Kooij, founder of Winning by Design, to unpack how AI-native SaaS companies are changing the rules of growth, pricing, and go-to-market in 2026.

Within days of Natalee Holloway's disappearance, her mother suspected Joran van der Sloot was involved. What she couldn't have known was just how much, and for how long, Joran would manipulate the truth. For nearly two decades, he cycled through lies, near-confessions, and sensational claims that kept Natalee's story in the headlines while dragging her family through hell. In Part 2, we follow the Holloways through the maze of shifting stories, the scams and false leads, a shocking murder in Peru, and finally, after eighteen years, the shocking revelation that broke the case wide open.

What will be the SaaS Pricing Strategy 2026? In this episode, Joran sits down with Tjitte Joosten—known as T.J.—to discuss the evolving world of SaaS pricing and how founders can adapt to change without losing momentum. T.J. works full-time in pricing and packaging for SaaS and AI companies. Before that, he spent years in early-stage ventures, helping them find product-market fit and close major deals. Those experiences taught him how to win large accounts without over-discounting and how to leave room for long-term growth.Through that process, T.J. discovered that pricing is not just about numbers but also about psychology and behavioral economics. The same solution can sell for $10,000 or $50,000 depending on the story told. After meeting his co-founder, who was already working in pricing, T.J. transitioned into it full-time—and it became his passion.Their conversation explores how SaaS pricing is evolving, how to experiment with models safely, when to raise prices, how to communicate changes effectively, and how freemium models may evolve in the AI era.Key Timecodes(0:00) - B2B SaaS & AI Pricing Expert(0:05) - TJ Joosten on Value Storytelling(1:13) - Future of SaaS Pricing 2026(1:28) - Why Hybrid Pricing Wins(3:10) - The Pricing Switch Risk(3:27) - Technical Debt of Pricing(5:15) - How to Test New Pricing(6:40) - Entitlement & Packaging(7:13) - When to Raise Prices(8:49) - Timing Strategy: Netflix Case(10:04) - Communicating Price Changes(11:10) - Freemium in the AI Era(12:33) - The Cost of Free Users(13:38) - From $0 to $10K MRR(14:42) - Scaling to $10M ARR(15:56) - The Founder's Role in Pricing(16:32) - Connect with TJ Joosten

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Series 7, Episode 13. First broadcast on Wednesday 10 February 1999. Stardate: Unknown (2375). It's the 1990s — the era of the Consulting Psychopath — and so when a pretty young lieutenant is shot dead in his locked quarters, perky newcomer Ezri Dax decides to investigate — with the help of her crap-haired and murderous previous host Joran. It's all very light and implausible, but we get a few laughs, Ezri gets a big gun, and the regular cast (except Cirroc) get their usual DS9-style character beats.

In this latest episode of the "Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast," host Joran sits down with Pablo Asensio, founder of 8% Growth, to discuss how to master product-led growth (PLG) for SaaS companies. Pablo explains that PLG is a strategy that shifts away from traditional methods of relying on sales and marketing to acquire and retain customers. Instead, it positions the product itself as the main driver of growth. This approach allows users to see the product's value before committing financially, making it easier to grow revenue naturally. Key aspects of PLG include self-serve onboarding, viral loops, and in-product upsells. Successful companies like Slack, Dropbox, Calendly, and Miro have effectively used PLG to expand their user base.Key Timecodes(1:19) - Guest Introduction(1:32) - Defining PLG(2:50) - Key Elements of PLG(3:23) - When to Consider PLG(5:29) - Misconceptions About PLG(6:12) - Importance of Organizational Alignment(7:13) - Aligning Stakeholders(8:15) - Four-Step Framework for Alignment(10:37) - Viral Loops and PLG(12:52) - Moments to Ask for Referrals(14:53) - Common Mistakes in PLG(16:12) - Managing Expectations(17:29) - Misconceptions About Implementing PLG(19:06) - Tools and Frameworks for PLG(21:12) - Monetization Strategy(23:31) - Aligning Sales with PLG(25:25) - Best Practices for PLG Implementation(28:12) - Importance of Data(30:27) - When to Add a Sales Component(33:19) - Summarizing PLG Advice(33:54) - Advice for Growing SaaS to 10K MRR(35:29) - Advice for Scaling to 10 Million ARR(38:52) - Episode Summary(39:02) - Contact Information

On the afternoon of May 30, 2005, the senior students from Mountain Brook High School gathered at the airport in Aruba to make their return flight to Alabama after their celebratory trip, when chaperones noticed that one of the students was missing. Eighteen-year-old Natalee Holloway was last seen around 1:30 am that morning, leaving a bar with a student from the local International School of Aruba, but no one had seen or heard from her since and when they checked the hotel, Natalee's luggage and other belongings were still in her room. It would take nearly twenty years before her killer was held responsible and the truth about her disappearance was brought to light.Thank you to the wondrous Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for Research!ReferencesABC News. 2006.
