    AI Can Make You Faster. Chasing Shiny Tech Slows You

    What happens when founders chase shiny technology instead of solving the right business problem? In this episode, we sit down with Fabio, founder of a web agency, to talk about the real tradeoffs behind technology decisions, hiring, remote culture, AI, and staying competitive without overengineering everything. We get into: • why the right tool matters more than the trend • how founders make expensive tech decisions too early • what strong hiring actually looks like in a remote team • where AI really helps and where it still creates risk • why curiosity and consistency still matter more than hype This conversation is especially relevant for founders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders trying to grow without getting distracted by every new tool, framework, or trend. If you’re building a company, leading a team, or making product and hiring decisions, this is the kind of conversation worth paying attention to. #Founders #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #MasterfulInfo   Join our SaaS founders’ community for $49/month and get step-by-step courses, proven strategies, and peer support: https://masterfulhub.com/

    Building a SaaS Startup as an Agency: Insider Look

    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.

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. #BootstrappedStartup #IndieHackers #EntrepreneurMindset Join our SaaS founders' community for $5/month and get step-by-step courses, proven strategies, and peer support: https://masterfulhub.com/ Connect with Us: Host: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wilhelmlaubach/ Guests: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamwooding/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmelwooding/ Adam & Carmel – POS Cafe: https://poscafe.app/
