From $6M ARR to $0 in 2 Months. Lessons in Churn with John Barrows


Listen Later

What happens when your company collapses from $6 million in recurring revenue to zero — in just two months?

In this open and candid episode, legendary sales leader John Barrows shares how it happened, what it taught him, and how AI is shaping the next chapter — not just in business, but in how we work and live.

We dig into:

  • The real cost of churn (and why it sneaks up on you)

  • John's experience losing everything almost overnight

  • The role of AI as an augmentor, not a replacement

  • John's analogy of Iron Man (not Terminator) is the right mindset for the AI era

  • How to build a future-proof career by embracing technology

💬 "Once Tony Stark got JARVIS, that’s when he became Iron Man."

This episode is a must-listen for founders, sales pros, and anyone navigating the intersection of AI and human performance.
