Most people pick a lane.

Molly Mahoney picked several and somehow made them all work.

Professional musical theater performer. National tour of Chitty Bang Bang. Knitting and crocheting business. Camera confidence coach. Messenger bot expert. AI educator. Broadway producer.

Oh, and mum to two boys aged 12 and 14 who between them have sold $1 drawings on Facebook Live, presented at business events in their backyard, and done a live stream with a SamCart co-founder to build a sales page at age 11.

This is one of those conversations that goes everywhere and somehow ties together perfectly at the end.

In this episode Molly gets beautifully honest about:

👉 Touring the world in a flying car and how that led to everything that came after

👉 Starting a business while baby-wearing and teaching dance classes with a baby on her back

👉 Her 12-year-old son who is basically an 80-year-old man in a child's body who hates AI

👉 Why she didn't let her kids play Fortnite and what they found instead

👉 The affiliate competition she nearly won and the Tesla she lost because of what she kept saying out loud

👉 Her son asking to come on a business trip to Gay Hendricks' house and why she said yes

👉 The sparkly boulder moment when everything in her business fell apart at once

👉 Losing her mum, tearing the cartilage in her wrist and her dog dying on her husband's birthday all at the same time

👉 How she got from Broadway opening night to a Tony Robbins stage in less than 12 hours

👉 Why frameworks equal freedom and what that means for SaaS mums everywhere

👉 The tickle points that most people completely miss when building their brand

👉 Why the humans behind the brand matter more than ever in an AI world

This one is warm, funny, sparkly and genuinely moving all at the same time.

Molly is proof that the weirdest path forward is usually the right one. And that staying calm through the chaos is the actual superpower that makes everything else possible.

Two SaaS dads walk into a conversation about AI, kids, school, personal brand and the future.

Neither of them has any answers.

And somehow that's the most valuable episode we've done all season.

Danny Clarke is back for Season 2. Fresh from Costa Rica where they were both speaking at an event. Three kids aged 14, 12 and 10. A business he's built around finishing work at 2PM so he never misses a moment with his son on the football pitch.

And a head full of questions about what the hell any of us are supposed to tell our kids about their future.

Because here's the thing nobody's saying out loud.

We don't know what jobs will exist. We don't know what skills will matter. We don't know if school is preparing them for anything useful. And we don't know what the world looks like in five years let alone when these kids are grown up and trying to figure out their lives.

But we do know one thing.

The creators win. The consumers lose. And right now there's never been a bigger gap between the people using AI and the people who have no idea what's even possible.

In this episode Gary and Danny get completely honest about:

👉 Why Danny cut his workday to finish at 2PM and what that cost him and gave him

👉 The moment they both realised their kids are becoming independent faster than expected

👉 What the hell do you tell your kids to do when you can't even predict your own industry

👉 Why Danny's 14-year-old daughter is already questioning the point of school

👉 The shift from using AI to working with AI and why it's actually creating more work right now

👉 Why personal brand is more important than ever and what that really means

👉 The Tom the Sparky theory and the massive opportunity nobody is talking about

👉 Why imperfect action beats perfect knowledge every single time

👉 The 250 testimonials story that perfectly explains how goodwill actually works

👉 A frozen dragon in Antarctica and why Gary's wife goes down too many rabbit holes 😂

This one is raw, real and genuinely funny in parts.

Two dads. Two businesses. Zero certainty about the future. Loads of honest conversation about what it all means. 🙏

Most people dream about quitting their corporate job. Kunal actually did it.

Senior software engineer at Amazon. Stable salary. Everything covered every month, and he walked away to build something with his wife Ruheene that most people told him was a risk not worth taking.

His dad was the only one who said go, and now they're building Brandpod together, multiple SaaS products, a team, clients, and two kids aged eight and eleven who are already getting involved in the business in their own ways.

But here's what made this conversation different, it wasn't really about the business at all, it was about what it actually looks like to build something alongside the person you love, raise kids in a country far from your family, figure out screen time and Roblox and AI and what the future even looks like for children growing up right now.

Raw, honest and surprisingly funny. 😅

In this episode Kunal gets refreshingly real about:

👉 Quitting Amazon to build full time with his wife and what his dad said that surprised everyone

👉 Growing up in India, moving to Australia then the US and meeting Raheen on a dating website

👉 Getting married twice in two months because her mum was given three months to live

👉 What it's really like running multiple businesses with your life partner every single day

👉 His daughter pulling people into their booth at the HighLevel Dallas summit from age eight

👉 His son becoming their unofficial in house software tester for Brand Pod

👉 The Roblox warning every parent needs to hear right now

👉 Why he thinks critical thinking and resilience are the only skills that will matter for kids in an AI world

👉 The one thing he and Raheen do every Wednesday that keeps everything in balance

👉 His honest advice for any SaaS dad working alongside their partner

This one is warm, grounded and full of the kind of real talk you don't always hear from people building businesses in this space. 🙏

🎧 This one's for the dads and mums building something together.

Most people have one rock bottom moment.

Russ Ward had several.

Got his girlfriend pregnant on the first date. Flew to Las Vegas and got married weeks later. Got kicked out of three colleges. Joined the Navy at 21 just to force himself into a job he couldn't quit.

Then built a bootleg DVD empire from his basement that made him $2-3 million over 10 years.

Then the FBI raided his house.

The NFL sued him for $10 million. The IRS hit him with a $119,000 tax lien. His merchant accounts froze. His marriage fell apart. His kids went to live with their mum.

And he spent a week lying on the floor with a gun to his head.

He got up.

And now he's a two-time consecutive Gold SaaSpreneur. Standing on stage in a gold sparkly jacket collecting awards he spent six years working toward.

This is one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on SaaS Dads.

In this episode Russ gets completely raw about:

👉 Getting his girlfriend pregnant on the first date and flying to Las Vegas to get married

👉 Running nuclear reactors in the Navy until they found out he was colour blind

👉 Building a $2-3 million bootleg DVD empire from his basement while in the military

👉 The FBI raid, the $10 million NFL lawsuit and the IRS tax lien that froze everything

👉 Spending a week on the floor with a gun to his head and what pulled him back

👉 Writing letters to his kids apologising for being a bad dad and how that rebuilt everything

👉 Using a Cameo shout-out from Xzibit to break the ice with his estranged son

👉 How he went from bankrupt and unemployable to two-time Gold SaaSpreneur

👉 His 14-year-old daughter building an AI music business at farmers markets

👉 Why it took him six years to get his first Gold award and what he'd tell anyone still grinding

👉 The one piece of advice he gives to anyone hitting rock bottom right now

This one is unlike anything we've shared before.

Russ didn't just hit rock bottom. He built his rock bottom himself, brick by brick, bad decision by bad decision. And then he climbed out of it anyway.

If you're in a tough spot right now, this episode is for you. 🙏

Most people build a business to afford a better life.

Vit built one so he could actually live it.

16 years in Australia. Australian citizen. Thriving SaaS agency. The HighLevel Experience podcast. A life that most people in the HighLevel community would look at and go… that's it.

That's the dream.

And he's walking away from all of it.

Not because things went wrong. Because something more important finally got loud enough to listen to, family.

His parents. His wife's parents. His five year old son who's never really known what it feels like to grow up surrounded by people who love him unconditionally. The grandparents who are getting older. The date nights that never happen because there's nobody to watch the kid.

So Vit made a decision.

Pack up the house. Sell the stuff. Tell the son after Easter. And move back to Czech Republic in six weeks.

And here's the part that makes this story different from most. the business is coming with him.

In this episode Vit gets refreshingly honest about:

👉 Why he's leaving Australia after 16 years and what finally made the decision easy

👉 How he tested running his business remotely by moving to Czech Republic for two and a half years

👉 Why the stuff you accumulate means absolutely nothing when it comes to the crunch

👉 The time zone strategy he's built to keep Australian clients and crack the US market from Europe

👉 Why he's never run a single ad in five years and built his entire agency on referral partnerships

👉 His honest take on HighLevel for beginners and why most people should go through an agency first

👉 The HighLevel Experience podcast origin story and why it started with beers in Dallas

👉 Three free tools every HighLevel agency owner should grab right now

👉 The vomit in the car story that every parent will relate to way too much

👉 Why being detail obsessed is both his superpower and his biggest weakness as a dad

This one is a little different from our usual episodes.

It's not a rags to riches story. It's not a comeback from rock bottom. It's something rarer than that.

It's a guy who built something great and then had the courage to ask himself what matters more, and chose family. 🙏

In 2024 Jay-cee Tan nearly died.

Not dramatically. Not suddenly. Just quietly burning out trying to hold everything together while her VA business was falling apart around her.

100 VAs. Down to 50. Down to 20. Then gone.

Her doctor looked her in the eye and said if you don't stop you will drop dead.

She had two little girls at home. A husband who believed in her. And absolutely nothing left in the tank.

Most people would've stopped.

Jay-cee got back up.

She opened her laptop, started teaching Filipinos automation for free just to keep herself busy, and woke up the next morning to 4,000 people in her community.

Twelve months later she was on stage at a HighLevel event collecting her Diamond SaaSpreneur award.

In this episode Jay-cee gets beautifully honest about:

👉 1,800 applications over six months just to land her very first client as a VA

👉 Growing a real estate VA agency to 100 people in under a year then watching it fall apart

👉 Nearly having a heart attack and what her doctor told her that changed everything

👉 Building a Diamond SaaS business in 12 months while raising two girls aged four and six

👉 How she pulled 1,600 people to an event in the Philippines with government ministers in the room

👉 From mopping floors to mapping workflows — the janitor she trained who became an automation specialist

👉 Why she says being a mom didn't slow her down it made her better at business

👉 The mission to show the world that Filipinos are not just Filipino lang

👉 What she would whisper to herself during the darkest moment of her journey

This one is something special.

Jay-cee isn't just building a business. She's changing how an entire country sees itself on the global stage. And she's doing it with two little girls at home who already know that mum helps Filipinos learn automation. 🙏

🎧 You will feel this one.

Most people build a business to make money.

Leon built one to never be trapped again.

12 and a half years in the military working on F-18 fighter jets and explosive ordnance. Then 17 years growing a paintball business to nearly $100 million in revenue across 57 locations worldwide. Then COVID hit. A business partnership fell apart. And a payout he was owed never came.

Everything he'd built with people he considered brothers.. gone.

Most people would've taken a job. Played it safe. Licked their wounds and moved on quietly.

Leon did something different. He took every system, every lesson, every scar and started helping other business owners avoid the same pain.

And somewhere along the way, he realised that everything he'd learned about building businesses was exactly the same as raising kids.

In this episode Leon gets deeply honest about:

👉 Growing a paintball business to nearly $100M across 57 locations worldwide

👉 How working with bombs and bullets at 19 years old taught him everything about systems

👉 Losing his mum at eight years old and how that shaped the man and father he became

👉 Getting screwed out of a major payout by people he trusted like brothers

👉 The five lessons from parenting that completely transformed how he runs his business

👉 Why being the sage not the hero is the most powerful thing you can do for your kids and your clients

👉 How he engineers his entire business around his life and not the other way around

👉 Why presence is greater than productivity in business and at home

👉 The social media catfishing story that every parent with a teenager needs to hear

👉 What he'd tell 19-year-old Leon starting out in the military

This one is different.

Leon has lived more lives than most people could fit into three careers. Military. Global business. Entrepreneurship. And through all of it he has kept one thing constant.

The business fits around the life. Not the other way around.

Most people wouldn't start a business in a 26-foot RV.

Joel did.

Two young kids. A homeschooling wife. A dinette table for a desk. And a brand new VA business launching in the middle of it all.

But here's the thing nobody talks about when they romanticize the laptop lifestyle.

It's not always a beach or a cafe. Sometimes it's your wife hiding in the bedroom six feet away so she doesn't interrupt your Zoom call. Sometimes it's your kids tugging on your shoulder mid-pitch. Sometimes it's getting scammed by a VA company, paying twice, and still doing the right thing anyway.

That's how VA Hub Pro was born.

Not from a business plan. Not from a big launch. From getting burned enough times to say "we can do this better" and actually doing it.

In this episode Joel gets refreshingly honest about:

👉 How getting scammed by a VA company became the spark that started VA Hub Pro

👉 What it's really like running a business from a 26-foot RV with two homeschooled kids

👉 Why he and his wife chose to fight in front of their kids and make up in front of them too

👉 The unschooling approach that has his kids blowing him away with how smart they are

👉 Why he believes impact is a bigger driving force than revenue

👉 The book that made him feel like someone was writing about his exact business

👉 What he'd tell the Joel who walked away from his job in 2019 full of hope

This one goes deep. Not just on business but on parenting, leadership, emotional regulation and what it actually means to build something that matters.

Joel is proof that integrity in business isn't just a nice thing to have. It's your actual competitive advantage.

Most people want the laptop lifestyle.

Balint actually built it.

Right now he's traveling across Europe with his wife and two and a half year old daughter. Vienna one week. Budapest the next. Working 4 hours a night while his family sleeps.

Making $30K a month. With one VA. In 10 hours a week.

But here's what nobody talks about.

To get there he locked himself in a room for six months. Working 20 hours a day. His wife handled everything, the baby, the house, the nights, all of it.

He missed the first six months of his daughter's life.

Not the normal dad miss. Not the "I got home late for dinner" miss.

He missed everything, first smiles, first sounds, everything, seen through photos and videos while sitting at a desk three feet away.

And that was the moment he decided he'd never let it happen again.

In this episode Balint gets brutally honest about:

👉 How he went from zero to $30K a month in under two years with just a phone and a laptop

👉 Why he stopped doing follow ups completely and started closing more deals

👉 The no Zoom, no appointment, no nurture sequence sales method that most people think is crazy

👉 What it's really like becoming a grandfather at 39 while your wife is pregnant at the same time

👉 Why he walked away from scaling at $30K to spend two years traveling Europe with his daughter

👉 The brutal six months that built everything and nearly cost him his relationship

👉 Why he says zero to ten grand is hell and everything after that is just momentum

This one is for anyone who is grinding right now and wondering if it's worth it.

Balint has been on both sides. The grind that costs you everything. And the freedom that makes it all make sense.

And the crazy part? He built it all from cold calls. No ads. No funnels. No fancy systems. Just a phone.

Imagine leaving everything you know.

Your career. Your family. Your comfort.

Priya packed up her life, with her husband and two little boys, and landed in Australia with $45 in her pocket and a one way ticket.

No safety net. No family around. No plan B.

She had a PhD. Three degrees. Nine years as a university lecturer back in India. And her first job in Australia was at a betting call center getting sworn at by Aussie punters all day. 😅

Most people would've gone back home.

Priya kept going.

Six years later she had a six figure salary, a stable university job, a mortgage, and a life most immigrants dream about.

And she walked away from all of it.

Because her parents got COVID during lockdown, she couldn't travel, and she realized in that moment that no salary in the world was worth missing the people she loved most.

So she started over. Again.

And this time she built something that couldn't be taken away from her.

In this episode Priya gets refreshingly real about:

👉 Landing in Australia with $45 and building a six figure career from scratch

👉 Why she quit a comfortable university job when her business was making just $18K a year

👉 The webinar she launched where zero people showed up… and what her kids said that kept her going

👉 How she built a training model helping Indian women work from home that completely changed her business

👉 Why she says your gender has nothing to do with what you can achieve

👉 The moment she realized she was the biggest bottleneck in her own business

👉 What it's really like building a team across multiple time zones while raising two boys alone in a country far from home

This one is different.

Priya isn't your typical SaaS story. She's an immigrant, a mum, a PhD, a speaker, a community leader and someone who has rebuilt her life from scratch more times than most people would ever dare.

And she did it all while her kids cheered her on from the sidelines. 🙏

If you've ever felt like an outsider trying to build something in a world that wasn't designed for you, this episode will hit home.
