Manage episode 502861378 series 3686346
Most SaaS founders scale revenue… and destroy their families in the process.
The late nights. The 18-hour days. The guilt of missing school pick-ups and family dinners. Too many founders believe it’s the price of success but it’s a lie.
In this first-ever SaaS Dads podcast, Johann Nogueira (Co-founder of White Label Suite) exposes how he built a 7-figure SaaS and thousands of clients without losing his marriage, his kids, or his sanity.
Inside this episode you’ll discover:
⚡ The 3 roles every SaaS must have to escape founder burnout
⚡ How Johan runs a global team but only speaks to 3 people in his org
⚡ The “producer vs. consumer” parenting hack that turns kids into future leaders
⚡ Why chasing “balance” is a trap and the model to build instead
If you’re grinding harder, but drifting further from your family this conversation will flip how you build forever.
