Turn Your eComm Data Into Pure Profit | Adam Callinan

#390 If you've ever wondered how a SaaS business gets off the ground — or how math and spreadsheets can evolve into a powerful, profit-driving platform — this episode is for you! Host Brien Gearin sits down with Adam Callinan, founder of Pentane and host of the Growth Mavericks podcast, who shares his journey from building a multi-million dollar beverage accessory company (that landed a deal on Shark Tank) to launching a SaaS platform that helps consumer brands and service businesses optimize their profitability. Adam reveals how he scaled his first business to $8 million in revenue without employees or investors, the painful realities of running a startup, and how the operational tools he built for himself eventually became Pentane. You'll learn why he’s cautious about AI, how Pentane gives clear, prescriptive financial recommendations, and why even non-sexy, service-based businesses deserve world-class tools to make smarter decisions! What we discuss with Adam: + From coolie cups to software + Scaling to $8M with no employees + Behind-the-scenes of Shark Tank + Solving problems with spreadsheets + Why most SaaS is built backwards + Math > AI for financial clarity + How Pentane guides business decisions + Real-world use cases for Pentane + Helping service businesses with numbers + Building lean, profitable companies Thank you, Adam!
