Today, we have an extraordinary guest with a story that will inspire you to believe in yourself.

He started as a Wall Street credit trader but took a bold leap into entrepreneurship, bootstrapping not one but two profitable SaaS companies.

His latest venture RB2B went from 0 to $4M MRR in just 20 weeks.

Beyond his SaaS success, he’s built a loyal LinkedIn following of 113k, sharing his unconventional wisdom on building lean, profitable companies in today’s competitive landscape.

And today, he’s generously pulling back the curtain on all his strategies, lessons, and hard-earned insights in this 2-hour episode:
