*HAPPY NEW YEAR!! This is gonna be YOUR year! 

Just a little reminder: Build It to Sell It will be launching soon!

Most people think wealth hits like a lightning strike ⚡️

 They’re wrong! It builds like a storm system—slow at first, then all at once.

In this episode, I sat down with Derik Kline, founder of HailTrace, and we got real about what it actually takes to build wealth, scale a SaaS business, and stay in the game long enough for the clouds to finally break. Derek didn’t just wake up wealthy—80% of his net worth was built in the last few years, after decades of showing up, reinvesting, and refusing to quit.

We talked about why the first exit changes everything, how money becomes a tool once fear leaves the room, and why I believe most founders drain their future every time they “write something off” too early. This conversation went deep into SaaS pricing, churn, growth problems, and the uncomfortable truth that if you’re scaling, something is always going to be storming.

If you’re building something real, this episode will help you stop chasing sunshine and start learning how to operate in the storm because that’s where the growth happens.
