When I spoke to Jordan Fleming about rapidly scaling past $5m, one thing stood out. And it was this. His business is scaling fast without constant stress. There's no chaos! Jordan (CEO) is working 5 hours a week, and having a great time! And his team are loving it too! This isn't a fluke. Prior to this business, Jordan spent 15 years as a management consultant. He learned what processes and systems would be needed, and he's proactively put them in place. He dedicates a ton of time to working “on” the business rather than “in it”. And it doesn't stop — they're continuously improving (and scaling!)

Jordan Fleming grew up in Toronto and New York, then lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for 15 years where he created a successful consultancy helping larger businesses automate and improve their processes. His experience developing workflow apps led him and his cofounders to create a tightly-integrated phone system solution called smrtPhone built just for the Podio workflow platform, which is very popular in several industries. Jordan now lives in Poland and most of the team works in their office in Romania. The bootstrapped and profitable smrtStudio Global company is now growing fast with 2400 customers, 45 employees, and nearly $5 million in ARR (annual recurring revenue). They are very disciplined about company culture, building a scalable organization, growing employees, and preparing for growth before problems arise. Learn more at practicalfounders.com.

In this awesome and inspiring episode Alex takes Jordan and Andrew through their initial review of Podio and how they got started, and then the group turns the focus on some of the amazing ways their Podio system has seriously helped them scale their business.This is a great and insightful episode for a number of reasons, not least of which it shows how an incredibly fast-paced and overhead conscious business like a restaurant can use Podio to really track so much of the business and supercharge the efficiency of it all.
