<p>In this episode, you’ll learn how to build an online community that creates trust, drives referrals, reduces support load, and can even become the backbone of an affiliate program.</p>
<p>Claudio Meireles (serial entrepreneur) breaks down what community actually means (it’s not just a Facebook group), why people join for the product but stay for the people, and how founders can use community as a “GPS” to shape the right product for the right audience.</p>
<p>Key takeaways ✅
• Why people join for the product, but stay for the people
• How to start by tapping into existing communities first
• A simple framework: support – inspire – nurture
• How community turns users into power users (and cuts support tickets)
• Choosing the right platform: Discord, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram Groups
• How to build ambassadors and affiliates without being spammy</p>

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">In this episode, we talk with Adam and Carmel from POS Cafe, a Shopify POS app for cafes, about what it actually looks like to run a client agency and a SaaS product at the same time.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We dig into the emotional rollercoaster, the financial pressure, the slow progress, and why they still believe this path is worth it.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">You'll learn:</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">*Why they started with an agency first – and how that paid for their startup</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">*The real trade-offs between agency work (relationships) and SaaS (scale)</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">*How working hands-on with clients gave them a sharper SaaS idea than any brainstorm</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">*What changed in their mindset once they shipped their first version to the Shopify App Store</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">*How they choose which features to build next (and what they regret building)</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">*Why niching down on cafes + Shopify POS became their unfair advantage</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> </p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">If you're an agency owner dreaming about your own product, or a founder thinking about bootstrapping through services, this conversation will give you a very honest look behind the scenes – including the moments where they almost gave up.</p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Can you build a real startup without burning your savings by funding it through your agency work?
In this episode, we talk with Adam and Carmel from POS Cafe, a Shopify POS app for cafes, about what it actually looks like to run a client agency and a SaaS product at the same time.
We dig into the emotional rollercoaster, the financial pressure, the slow progress, and why they still believe this path is worth it.
You'll learn:
*Why they started with an agency first – and how that paid for their startup
*The real trade-offs between agency work (relationships) and SaaS (scale)
*How working hands-on with clients gave them a sharper SaaS idea than any brainstorm
*What changed in their mindset once they shipped their first version to the Shopify App Store
*How they choose which features to build next (and what they regret building)
*Why niching down on cafes + Shopify POS became their unfair advantage
 
If you're an agency owner dreaming about your own product, or a founder thinking about bootstrapping through services, this conversation will give you a very honest look behind the scenes – including the moments where they almost gave up.

– Practical guardrails for choosing, managing, and legally protecting co-founders
– Why a tightly scoped architecture beats premature microservices for bootstrappers
– Leveraging ChatGPT/Copilot as a “first hire” to ship faster without extra payroll

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>As a SaaS founder, one of the biggest reasons your product isn't selling like hotcakes isn't your features, pricing, or even your tech – it's that you're not solving a real, validated problem. </p>
<p>In this video, I sit down with entrepreneur Huxley Peckham, who built a SaaS product around an AI assistant by doing one thing exceptionally well: finding the real pain point his audience couldn't ignore.</p>
<p>We break down:</p>
<p>- Why identifying the right pain is 80% of your success</p>
<p>- How to validate ideas before building anything</p>
<p>- Real examples of talking to users and adjusting the offer</p>
<p>- Lessons from launching a viral AI cheat sheet</p>
<p>- LinkedIn and outreach strategies that actually work</p>
<p>Whether you're still ideating or already launched your SaaS, this episode will help you understand how to build something people actually want – and pay for.</p>

<p>Jorrit Willaert from URImesh didn’t have a polished pitch, but he had something better: traction, positioning, and a strong vision.</p>
<p>In this conversation, we unpack what actually worked — not the theory.</p>
<p>Learn how to:</p>
<p>– Validate your product in a boring, high-value niche</p>
<p>– Turn cold outreach into real client meetings</p>
<p>– Build momentum and create FOMO among investors</p>
<p>– Avoid common fundraising mistakes (like raising too early)</p>
