SaaS Scaling Secrets Unlocked

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. 🙏

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.
 
🎧 This one will change how you think about sales, time and what success actually looks like.

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.

Most people talk about pressure breaking them.
Jackson Chen let it build him.
COVID hit. His gym shut down overnight. Income gone. A baby on the way, three teenagers in private school in Sydney, a landlord demanding $20,000 in 30 days, and a wife who was pregnant and needed him present while he was quietly drowning.
Most guys would've collapsed, or taken a job or both.
Jackson did something different. He opened his laptop, figured out HighLevel from scratch, didn't even know what a webhook was and started hustling to replace every dollar the gym had taken with it.
That was five years ago.
Today? He's running multiple businesses, hundreds of clients, growing 10 new accounts a week, and still doing school drop-offs every morning.
And almost nobody in the HighLevel community knows who he is.
That's the part that got us.
In this episode Jackson gets brutally real about:
👉 How he raised $20K in 30 days with a brand new business and a baby on the way
👉 Why he and his wife agreed on a number and stopped chasing beyond it
👉 The car he bought with cash after years of never touching debt for depreciating assets
👉 Why the business you're building right now probably won't exist in 10 years and what to do about it
👉 How he cut client onboarding from 2 hours down to 10 minutes through automation
👉 What it's like parenting a 5-year-old and a 19-year-old at the same time and why he's a completely different dad now
👉 Why he studied theology, volunteered as a pastor, and still leads his whole life around one question: who can I help today?
This one hits different if you're the kind of dad who's quietly building something big while everyone else is busy being loud about it.
Jackson is proof you don't need to be the most visible person in the room to be the most dangerous one in it.

Imagine spending 23 years building something and watching it disappear in months.
That's exactly what happened to Kalvin Morris. A multi million pound recruitment business. Gone. Savings draining. Three daughters looking at you like you've got the answers… and you're not sure you do.
Most people would've taken a job. Play it safe. Nobody would've blamed him.
But here's the thing about being a dad, "safe" doesn't exist anymore once you've tasted building something of your own. You can't go back. You can only figure it out.
So Kalvin did what broke business owners rarely have the guts to do: he started again. From scratch with different models, different rules, this time with SaaS, HighLevel, and a system built to never leave him exposed again.
 
In this episode he gets brutally honest about:
 
👉 Why his 7-figure business was actually a mess behind the scenes (and how most "successful" businesses are)
👉 What finally made him stop chasing revenue and start building something that runs without him
👉 How he's scaling to 500 monthly recurring clients without burning a single dollar on paid ads
👉 The moment his definition of success shifted from cars and status to time with his girls
 
This one's going to hit different if you're a dad trying to build something while your kids are still young enough to notice you're not around. Kalvin's been on both sides, the grind that costs you everything and the system that gives it back.
 
This episode is just 25 years of real lessons from a man who lost it all and decided that wasn't the end of his story.
 
🎧 Watch this before you burn another week doing everything yourself.

This episode hit me in ways I didn't expect.
Sherist Rodriguez got pregnant at 18. Divorced with a 2 year old and a newborn by 21. No college degree. Grew up on welfare in a home full of trauma and abuse.
Her kids spent their nights and weekends in a hospital doctor's lounge because she was working every hour she had just to keep them fed. She didn't know what a depression was until she was already deep in one. Years later the stress caught up and she had a full nervous breakdown.
Then a traumatic head injury almost two years ago that changed how she sees everything. But she kept going. She built her first business as a single mom with zero experience, sleeping three hours a night doing client work after the kids went to bed.
She launched a SaaS two years ago and hit Gold in 10 months. Then did it again. Now she's building a second SaaS with her 31 year old son, this time with the goal of creating a family legacy that outlives her. And the question she asks every entrepreneur she coaches? "What is your body trying to tell you about your business right now?"
 
In this episode you'll learn:
👉 Why she says your body is always talking to you (and what happens when you ignore it)
👉 How she built her first business on three hours of sleep as a single mom
👉 The guilt she carried for years about the time she missed with her kids
👉 How she hit SaaS Gold in 10 months with a founding member launch strategy
👉 Why she's building to sell this time and what she's doing completely different
👉 The parenting mistake she made by trying to protect her kids too much
👉 Why she says "ask for help" is the one thing she'd tell her younger self
👉 How she and her son are creating a generational family business together If you're a parent building a business and wondering if the stress is worth it or if you're a mom doing it completely alone, this one is for you.

Real talk, working with your spouse sounds like a dream until you're fighting about business stuff at 11pm in bed with a laptop between you.
 
Clay and Carly built Review Harvest together. 900+ clients. Real revenue. But nobody talks about the messy part. The awkward salary conversations. The moments where you can't tell if you're having a business meeting or a marriage argument. The fear of "what if this tanks and we lose everything?"
 
This episode gets into all of it.
 
In this episode you'll learn:
 
👉 How they picked ONE niche and rode it to 900+ clients (while everyone else chased shiny objects)
 
👉 Why Carly left a stable paycheck to join the business and what almost stopped her
 
👉 The simple role split that keeps them from stepping on each other's toes
 
👉 How to stop your whole relationship from becoming "work talk" 24/7
 
👉 The honest money conversation most couples avoid
 
👉 How they're thinking about raising kids without entitlement even as the money grows
 
👉 Why they think college might not even matter anymore with AI changing everything
 
If you've ever thought about building something real with your partner but you're scared it'll blow everything up, watch this one all the way through. Clay and Carly don't sugarcoat it. 
 
They share the stuff nobody posts about online.
 
👉 Hit play. You'll thank yourself later.
