September 09, 2019 #1823 Flywheel Hosting: An agency to acquisition roadmap
Joining me is an entrepreneur who was running a development shop, saw problems that his clients had and said, “I think I’m going to pursue this idea that has nothing to do with that problem.”
So he built that other idea, he started to understand what it’s like to build a software as a service. And he said, “You know, let me come back to this problem that I saw before.” And the problem was how hard it was for businesses to build websites.
Dusty Davidson is the co-founder of Flywheel Hosting, a premium WordPress hosting company built specifically for design firms.

September 04, 2019 #1820 How to get clients to use your SaaS themselves (so you don’t have to sell your services)
Today’s guest is a guy who had a company that didn’t actually pan out the way he wanted it to. It was called Site2Mobile and the goal was to take your website and make it mobile-friendly. And it didn’t really scale. It didn’t grow. It didn’t become what he wanted it to.
We’ll talk about why not. But as he was building it up, he recognized two needs that led to the creation of a tool that would scale.

August 26, 2019 #1816 How do you get users to try software with a learning curve?
Today’s guest has a company that basically fights against the idea of explainer videos.
The idea that you have to make somebody watch a three-minute video is a quixotic pursuit at best. And even if you get them to watch it, you’ve failed because they are watching something instead of using your software.
So today’s guest created in-product tours.

August 23, 2019 #1814 LIVE with the chatbot creators behind the $3M bot experience
If we are using chat to communicate with the people we love then why are we only using email to talk to our customers?
There are two people who created a chatbot that got a lot of buzz because it generated $3M in revenue in one hour.
I invited them hear to talk about how they did it but I don’t want to focus on these outlier results. I want to talk about other successes with chatbots like a loyalty program they created for smaller businesses.
