How To Build A Million Dollar Coaching Business With Taki Moore
July 31, 2023 15:34 - 48 minutes - 67 MB▸▸ How To Build A Business That You Don't Grow To Hate: https://bit.ly/3pCTG78 About 7 years ago I almost quit coaching... I was working crazy hours, growth had flatlined, and I couldn’t figure out how to scale. It’s only because of today’s guest, Taki Moore, that I decided to stay the course. He showed me a completely DIFFERENT way to build companies. Since then I’ve coached 2000+ founders and grown my YouTube followers to over 100K. None of that would've been possible without...

This Interview Will Transform Your Life | 1 Hour With Ed Mylett
March 20, 2023 18:43 - 54 minutes - 74.6 MB▸▸ Supercharge your life with my NEW book: http://www.buybackyourtime.com I just got back from an incredible interview with Ed Mylett, and I’m still trying to process our conversation. Ed's story is nothing short of extraordinary - from a place of zero ambition to coaching some of the most successful people in the world, including presidents. As we sat down in his gorgeous home overlooking the ocean in Laguna Beach, Ed opened up about his journey to success, and I was blown away by ...
The Driving Force of a Startup's Success with Aydin Mirzaee @ Fellow.app - Escape Velocity Show #50
March 25, 2021 12:00 - 42 minutes - 59.2 MBIf you’re trying to build a SaaS, you’re wasting your time. You should be building a TEAM. A team of talented developers, marketers, customer success agents and salespeople… Then that team will build your SaaS. It’s a huge paradigm shift, but it’s damn important. Elon Musk didn’t hand-build Tesla cars himself, Richard Branson never piloted a Virgin aircraft, and Steve Jobs didn’t assemble the electrical components in the first Apple iPhone. No, these entrepreneurs were visionaries and ...
Growth Through Publicity (Not Paid Ads) with Adrian Salamunovic @ CanvasPop - Escape Velocity Show #49
March 11, 2021 13:00 - 44 minutes - 61 MBPaid ads… or publicity? Choose. For a bootstrapped startup with little-to-no cash in the bank trying to find their first thousand customers, this question should be a no-brainer. Publicity. PR doesn’t cost. There’s no PPC or ad spend behind good PR. Every dollar returned is profit and the only upfront cost is time. Yet a good PR campaign can explode in virality and skyrocket your traffic. Why? Because instead of paying to get your product featured on valuable marketing channels, publi...
Master Enterprise-Level SaaS Growth with Justin Shimoon @ AffinityClick - Escape Velocity Show #48
February 25, 2021 13:00 - 48 minutes - 67.5 MBI have an exclusive interview for you... No matter how far I looked, I haven’t been able to find ANY other interviews anywhere with my latest Escape Velocity guest, Justin Shimoon. He just… doesn’t do them. But for me, he generously opened up about the massive success of his company, AffinityClick. ...And how he grew them to be one of the biggest players in the enterprise VOIP market. Justin is the founder and CEO of AffinityClick and the creator of Hushed, one of the world’s most pop...
How To Retain Loyal Customers with Wes Bush @ Product-Led - Escape Velocity Show #47
February 11, 2021 13:00 - 41 minutes - 57.4 MBFreemium? Free trial with a credit card? Or premium only? If you’re asking these questions about your pricing model, then - according to Wes Bush - you’d already be on the wrong path. Wes Bush is the founder and CEO of ProductLed and the bestselling author of Product-Led Growth: How To Build a Product That Sells Itself. Product-led growth is a methodology that attracts the right customer, gives them a reason to use your tech, and then turns them into a raving fan of your business. It’s e...
From Ballet Dancer to Lead Investor with Emily Walsh @ Georgian Partners - Escape Velocity Show #46
January 28, 2021 12:57 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MBDon’t let anyone tell you it’s too late to change your direction. Emily Walsh went from being a ballet dancer… to a lead investor at Georgian, a VC firm that has raised $1.2B across 4 funds and recently added another $850M in early 2020. Georgian focuses on investing in software and fin-tech. According to Emily, Georgian typically invests $20M - $40M at a time. Being a lead investor, Emily has to be right at the forefront of making the decisions of how to spend that money and who to give...
How To Scale a Remote Business with Liam Martin @ Time Doctor - Escape Velocity Show #45
January 14, 2021 12:47 - 59 minutes - 81.9 MB“How many mermaid tails do you think are sold every year globally?” It wasn’t a question I expected to be asked by a SaaS founder. I guessed 50 million. But I was short… by 450 million. Liam Martin, one of my SaaS Academy coaching clients, asked me this question in the latest episode of Escape Velocity. Liam is the co-founder of both Time Doctor, time tracking software for remote workers, and Running Remote, the world’s largest remote work conference. I’ve been coaching Liam and his c...
The 3 Types of CEOs with Mike McDerment @ Freshbooks - Escape Velocity Show #44
December 31, 2020 14:00 - 44 minutes - 41 MBWhen I launched my company Clarity.fm in 2010, I gave a live demo to an audience showing how the service works. It was my Steve Jobs moment. From stage, I demonstrated how Clarity enabled me to call high-profile, successful entrepreneurs and get business advice from them over the phone instantly. For the live demo, I had to call someone notable… someone the audience couldn’t reach. I called Mike McDerment, the CEO of FreshBooks, a super successful accounting SaaS. Mike was my example o...
Investing in 250+ SaaS Startups with Marvin Liao, Partner @ 500 Startups - Escape Velocity Show #43
December 17, 2020 13:37 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MB“Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not”. This is a quote from my latest Escape Velocity Podcast guest, Marvin Liao, formerly a partner at 500 Startups. 500 Startups is a venture capital fund that runs an accelerator in San Francisco and invests in seed rounds for tech startups. At the time of recording this interview, they backed a lot more than 500 tech companies as their name suggests... How many? 2300+ and counting. Investing in seed-stage startups is risky, too. When many star...
Perfecting Onboarding & Activation with Aaron Krall @ SaaS Growth Hacks - Escape Velocity Show #42
December 03, 2020 13:17 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MBYour website is polished. Facebook ads retargeting, Google ads pushing your domain to the top of the results page. Traffic trickles through… starting with a sign-up for a free trial. All your PPC ad spend is balancing on a knife’s edge. But here’s the question: Will the prospect convert from a free trial to a paid customer? If yes, you can wipe away the sweat and enjoy a profitable growth funnel. If not, you’re pouring money into Zuckerberg’s pocket without anything to show for it...
Investing In SaaS Enabled Marketplaces with Christoph @ PointNine.com - Escape Velocity Show #41
November 19, 2020 13:00 - 45 minutes - 42 MBBack in 2012, when I raised $1.6M in funding for Clarity.fm, I insisted on squeezing more out of my investors. When I put together the final cap table, I made it clear that I also wanted introductions with other investors and businesses on their portfolio. They told me, “Dan, you’re asking a lot here…” But I put my foot down. I knew you couldn’t put a price on leveraging contacts and networking. Every minute I’ve spent growing my network has paid dividends tenfold. Since then I’ve real...
The Right Way to Build an Outbound Sales Team with Aaron @ PredictableRevenue.com - Escape Velocity Show #40
November 05, 2020 13:31 - 50 minutes - 46 MBIf you want consistent, predictable revenue for your SaaS then there’s one thing you’re going to need to build: A killer sales team. Don’t roll your eyes yet… Let me set the record straight. In 2008, when I moved to silicon valley, sales teams were considered evil. Tech companies pursued the unicorn: A product that would “sell itself”. (Yes, I’m using sarcastic air quotes). The likes of Facebook and Instagram fed false hope that you could build a platform with non-existent revenue, bur...
Business Networking Success with Alex Theuma @ SaaStock - Escape Velocity Show #39
October 22, 2020 13:30 - 50 minutes - 45.9 MBHere’s a word that either makes you cringe… or sigh with relief: “Networking”. If you’ve had a bad experience of it, you’ll get that icky feeling of trying to schmooze through fake smiles for business. But if you’ve had a great experience, you’ll think of life-long friends sharing war stories about their businesses and helping each other out. Networking done right is invaluable. You might have heard me say it before: Investors don’t want to meet you… they want to be introduced to you....
The Big Bet: Going From Paid to Freemium with Michael Litt, Co-Founder & CEO @ Vidyard.com - Escape Velocity Show #38
October 08, 2020 12:50 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MBCEOs have it tough. It’s not enough to grow your company into healthy profit margins and then coast along “because it’s working”. I know it’s tempting to kick back and pour the martinis, but comfort is a dangerous position to be in. A great CEO knows this and doesn’t want to be comfortable. They’ll stay on the bow on the ship, in the storm, telescope in hand, watching the changes in the waves and looking out for even the slightest hint of an iceberg in the distance. Today I want to int...
Don’t Chase The Wrong Revenue with Christian Owens @ Paddle.com - Escape Velocity Show #37
September 24, 2020 13:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBIn 2011, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal, Peter Thiel, started giving $100k to young entrepreneurs under 22. …but only if they would drop out of college. $100k paid to 20 applicants per year without taking any equity at all. There was nothing in it for him. So why did he do it? Thiel believed talented young minds were choosing college instead of building valuable businesses, so he began paying entrepreneurs not to go. It was super controversial. Whether the idea offen...
The Future of Sales Is No Quota with Jacco @ WinningByDesign.com - Escape Velocity Show #36
September 10, 2020 13:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBTake everything you think you know about sales teams… And get ready to throw it out the window. I mean it. Sales, as a concept, is still dragging a lot of dead weight from old-school sales gurus chanting “ABC – Always Be Closing!” The SaaS business model is being polluted by these old ideas that just don’t work. For decades, we’ve needed a fresh new take on sales training strategies… And I finally found that in Jacco van der Kooij. Jacco is the founder and co-CEO of Winni...
Should You Hire a Management Consultant? with Carrie Osman @ Cruxy - Escape Velocity Show #35
August 27, 2020 13:00 - 45 minutes - 42.3 MBWhen you first came up with a price for your SaaS product, I bet you did one of 3 things: 1. Picked a low number because “you’re just starting out” 2. Matched (or beat) a competitor’s price 3. Chose a number based on what you would spend How would you feel if I told you to take that price… and double it? Nervous, right? Pricing strategy is where many SaaS founders get nervous, panic and shoot themselves in the foot, yet it’s one of the most crucial numbers for scaling and growth....
Why Hiring a Business Coach Was a Game Changer with Elias Torres, Co-Founder & CTO @ Drift.com - Escape Velocity Show #34
August 13, 2020 13:00 - 54 minutes - 125 MBHow fast can you scale a software business? 0 – 150 employees in 12 months…? How would you even manage that?! For Elias Torres, the CTO and co-founder of Drift, and my latest guest on the Escape Velocity podcast… it was easy. Elias is the stuff of legends. He’s a machine. He’s been either the founder, CTO or VP of engineering at: Hubspot Performable Lookery And now Drift. He’s very technical, a coder at heart, but he’s mastered how to scale development teams SUPER quic...
Why SaaS Founders Sell with Kevin, CEO and co-founder @ SureSwift.com - Escape Velocity Show #33
July 30, 2020 13:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBHow do you sell your SaaS? I mean… how does that process actually look, end to end, from meeting a buyer to pocketing a 7+ figure paycheck? Buying and selling a business isn’t like walking into a store, picking an item off the shelf and approaching the counter. There are valuations, due diligence, escrow accounts, handover processes, and more… before the massive paychecks can get cashed. It’s quite a process. I’ve sold 3 of my own companies, I’m an investor in 40+ other compan...
Building The Right Product & Pricing with Des Traynor, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer @ Intercom.com - Escape Velocity Show #32
July 16, 2020 13:00 - 54 minutes - 50.5 MBBeing a venture funded SaaS founder is like walking into a casino to bet all of your employees’ salaries… every single day. Your decision to make one choice over another – bet on red or black – can cost your company millions. A few wrong bets can dry up your finances and run your company into the ground. But a few consecutive right bets can leave your competition for dead and give you the lion’s share of the market. I’m not a gambling man. I never bet on chance. I bet on proven...
Conquering a $120B Industry with Greg @ Alyce.com - Escape Velocity Show #31
July 02, 2020 13:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBYears ago the so-called “secret” to B2B company growth was getting leads. If you got enough email addresses or phone numbers that you could give to your sales team, you were going to make BANK. Not any more. Everyone is on LinkedIn, social media accounts are 1-click away, and business emails get scraped and sold daily. It sucks… but it’s true. The question isn’t how to get leads, it’s “How do I make them stop and listen?” My latest guest on the Escape Velocity Podcast has buil...
Mistakes To Avoid on Product Demos with Steli @ Close.com - Escape Velocity Show #30
June 18, 2020 13:00 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MBIf I could take all of the BS about “success” and cram it into the single most actionable statement ever, it would be this: The key to success is consistency. I don’t care how cheesy it is… It’s the truth. Print it on a T-shirt. Crochet it on a wall hanging. Hashtag it on Instagram. Just don’t forget it. If you want to be successful at anything BE CONSISTENT. No-one encapsulates consistency more than my latest guest on Escape Velocity, Steli Efti. Steli is the co-creator of...
Getting People To Hate You with Nathan Latka (Author of How To Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital & Creator of The Top Podcast) - Escape Velocity Show #29
June 04, 2020 13:00 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBMy latest guest is controversial. If you google ‘Nathan Latka’, you’ll see headlines that call him inspirational… and others that call him a con-man (or use more colorful language). Most CEOs or software founders would fear that kind of negative press. But not Nathan. In fact… he encourages it. He wants people to either love him or hate him as long as they aren’t somewhere in between. He wants polarizing opinions because it leads to attention. It’s a bold play, but… it’s p...
From Freemium to Premium with Matthew @ Yesware.com - Escape Velocity Show #28
May 21, 2020 13:00 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBPop quiz: Does a Freemium business model really convert to a growing SaaS? Sure, you get widespread access to potential customers… But are they just there because it’s free? Or do they end up paying? In the latest episode of the Escape Velocity Podcast, I sat down with Matthew Bellows, the founder of Yesware and BodesWell to talk about this. Yesware is a sales and CRM tool that works inside of your email account. It began as a free Google Chrome extension. They were the...
Changing State Laws with Patrick @ Notarize.com - Escape Velocity Show #27
May 07, 2020 13:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBI nearly screamed at my lawyer… “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Years ago, I was finishing up a real estate deal when my lawyer told me that I had to notarize a document. No signature, no deal. But that signature had to be from a notary, someone that’s earned the authority of the state to approve that I actually was who I said I was. It’s an archaic process but it’s necessary to fight off fraud. The problem was that I travel. A lot. I was on the move and it couldn’t wait un...
Master The 4-Day Workweek with Natalie @ WildBit.com - Escape Velocity Show #26
April 23, 2020 13:00 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBI want you to meet someone who I have huge respect for: Natalie Nagele. Not only has Natalie been working in the SaaS and software space since her late teens, but she’s been courageous enough to experiment with optimizing her team. …even if it means asking them to work less. She is the CEO of WildBit, a tech company with 3 big products: Beanstalk: Code revision and deployment software Postmark: Transactional email service Conveyor: Task management for software teams I had...
Forge High-Impact Sellers with David @ CerebralSelling.com - Escape Velocity Show #25
April 09, 2020 13:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBYou know what gives me an instant explosive headache? Telemarketers. It takes me about 2 seconds before I can tell they’re reading from a script. “Are you happy with your… BLAH BLAH”. I’ve worked closely with many sales teams so I empathize with the job they have to do, but I simply cannot tolerate inauthentic selling. There’s no excuse. Just train your sales team properly! What really grinds my gears is that telemarketers tarnish the reputation of all salespeople. I cal...
What It Takes To 20X Your SaaS in 1 Year with Ben @ Privy.com - Escape Velocity Show #24
March 26, 2020 13:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBIf everything in your business fell apart, and you had to rebuild from scratch… what would you do differently? This is usually a hypothetical question. But not necessarily nowadays… and definitely not for Ben Jabbawy a few years back. Ben is the founder and CEO of Privy, marketing automation software for e-commerce stores. In 2013, they raised a seed round $2 MIL from investors. 2 years later, in 2015… all they had left was $1000 in the bank. They had no choice but to pivot...
Remaining Untouched By Competitors with Peldi @ Balsamiq - Escape Velocity Show #23
March 12, 2020 14:20 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBWhen I built my company Clarity.fm, I remember staying up until 3AM designing how this software would work. But I’m not a designer. So I used an awesome wireframing tool called Balsamiq. It was a dream to use. In no time at all, I had a working prototype for my SaaS, the same one that was later successfully acquired by Fundable. I love Balsamiq. And I recommend it to all “graphically challenged” software founders. So it’s a huge pleasure to be interviewing Peldi Guilizzoni, th...
What Buyers Look For in a SaaS Business with Thomas @ FEInternational.com - Escape Velocity Show #22
February 27, 2020 13:00 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MBInvestors WANT to spend their money. Yes, they actually want to write big, big cheques. For years, I believed that the stories of successful SaaS businesses that attracted massive investments were just myths. Unicorns. Until 3 things happened: 1. I sold my first company (then did it two more times) 2. I became an investor in over 40 businesses. 3. I met experts who specialize in SaaS selling One thing became crystal clear to me. Businesses get bought and sold all the ...
How To Innovate Against Your Competitors with Alex @ Strategyzer.com - Escape Velocity Show #21
February 13, 2020 14:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBAre you competing on business models? You could be. Check out this quote: “Technology or not, every organization has a business model. Some are conscious of it. Some are not. Some try to change it. Some don’t.” “Some just compete on products… whereas they could compete on superior business models.” That’s Alex Osterwalder, founder of Strategyzer and my latest guest on the Escape Velocity podcast. Alex literally has a PHD in Business Models. But he’s transitioned from academ...
Helping Leaders Get Team Feedback To Grow Faster with Claire @ KnowYourTeam.com - Escape Velocity Show #20
January 30, 2020 14:00 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MBReality Check: Success isn’t about driving Ferraris and sipping champagne from a private jet… It’s about how you handle problems. No matter how many customers you get, how much profit you make… you will always have problems. Money might buy you a bigger team and more talented employees, but then you’ve got the problem of actually knowing your team! How do you keep your finger on the pulse in your own company? That is one of the biggest problems that SaaS founders encounter w...
Attracting Investors with Tim @ SaaSOptics.com - Escape Velocity Show #19
January 16, 2020 14:00 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBIf you have a B2B business that negotiates deals directly with your customers, then I’ll bet you’ve got headaches to do with money. Sales call followed by proposals… Rejected and then renegotiated… All hoping that in the end, you can close a big deal that really moves the needle. Only to realize that getting the customer is just half of the battle! Each deal is different to the last, and you’ve got to figure out how to bill them correctly, track their accounts, and report i...
Alternative Funding Options with BJ @ LighterCapital.com - Escape Velocity Show #18
January 02, 2020 14:13 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MB“If only we had money, we could…” It’s a story I’ve heard a thousand times. Startups heaving a sigh, wishing they had investors to fund the awkward early stages. Scraping to get your software in shape… Working 60+ hour weeks… Can’t afford to hire people so you’re wearing every hat for every department… But the dark side of receiving VC funding is that you lose a massive slice of your company. It can be VERY expensive. The equity you give away just for some upfront money ...
Building Marketing Technology Solutions with Jon @ Engagio.com - Escape Velocity Show #17
December 19, 2019 14:00 - 42 minutes - 58 MBBack when SaaS was still a new word (circa 2006), Jon Miller started Marketo, a software product that gave businesses an end-to-end view of their customer’s journey. The technology was revolutionary. No longer was a marketing team just collecting leads to give to the sales team… …but businesses were able to track and optimize every touchpoint. From ads, to website visitor, to sale, to upsell, to retention and residual profits. Marketo’s goal was to offer enterprise power at a...
The Future of Retail “Arming the Rebels!” with Tobi Lütke, CEO/Founder of Shopify.com - Escape Velocity Show #16
December 05, 2019 14:00 - 54 minutes - 50.6 MBWant to learn what it’s like to compete against Amazon and win? I first met Tobi the Co-founder & CEO of Shopify.com 10 years ago in San Francisco while they were fundraising for their series A… … most investors said “No”. (We dig into this during my interview… specifically, what those investors missed!) Fast forward to today and they have more than 1M businesses paying them every month, from over 175 countries with total gross merchandise volume exceeding $50 BILLION. Many co...
Smash Revenue Optimization Goals - Jason @ Go Nimbly - EV Ep. 15
November 21, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 60 MB“How do you maximize your revenue?” It’s the question that everyone wishes there was an easy answer too. No, I don’t mean that as a thought-provoking chin-stroking question to ponder from the armchair. I mean how do you actually do it? How do big businesses know the right steps – backed with data – that are going to blast them to their revenue goals and beyond? Answer: By focusing on RevOps.

November 07, 2019 14:00 - 52 minutes - 72.3 MBI can’t believe this… One of the guys on my marketing team told me he Googled my name and you know what came up as a suggested search term? “Dan Martell Wife”. Google only suggests popular searches, so… Does that mean people are Googling who my wife is?! Oh man that makes me laugh. I’ve got a better idea — How about you meet her? In this episode of Escape Velocity, I’m chatting with my beautiful wife and partner in crime, Renee Warren. Not only is Renee an unlimited source o...

For whatever reason that I still haven’t figured out, I’m in a family of business owners. So for this week’s episode of Escape Velocity, I wanted to try something a little different.
