Description
Welcome to SaaS That App: Building B2B Web Applications. The podcast for those who are building or thinking about starting a tech-enabled business, especially a SaaS. We dive deep into the real stories behind tech startups—how they got started, the challenges they faced, and the lessons learned along the way. Each episode brings you practical advice, business takeaways, and insights into the tech solutions that actually work (not just the shiny new ones).
Each episode is packed with practical advice, business insights, and actionable strategies on what tech solutions are actually working (no, we're not here to sell you the latest shiny new thing). From navigating scaling struggles to mastering the art of working with contractors and agencies, we’ll explore the hard decisions every founder faces—like when to bring your team in-house or if it's time to rewrite your app.
Whether you're in the trenches of a growing business or just starting out with your next big idea, you can learn from the stories of people who’ve been there, done that, and have the teeshirt to prove it.
Join us each week for a mix of real-world advice, technical deep dives, and lots of bad puns to help you build your tech business faster and smarter instead of harder.

When Daniel Cannon started his home renovation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, he expected a typical construction project: create a plan, hire contractors, and get it done in a few months.

In this episode of SaaS That App: Building B2B Web Applications, Daniel joins hosts Aaron Marchbanks and Justin Edwards to unpack the surprising parallels between building software and remodeling homes. From scope creep and over-engineered visions to broken plumbing and software bugs, they share war stories, hard-won lessons, and a framework for handling shifting goals, mismatched expectations, and evolving priorities in any project.
