Our founder Ed Lee recently joined Beate Chelette on the Business Growth Architect Show for an episode called "What Should I Charge?"

The conversation covers the same three part trust framework at the center of "The Last Mile of Trust": trusting your own value enough to price it honestly, earning your customer's trust that the price matches what they are getting, and building a pricing process that holds up as the business grows.

It is a candid conversation, not a pitch. Worth a listen if pricing confidence is something your team has been quietly avoiding.

Most software companies integrate payments and assume the revenue will follow. It doesn't. And that's exactly the problem Jo Elias Phillips and Will Corbera built Payabli to solve.

These two have decades of payments experience between them. Will bootstrapped his first payments company for 17 years before a successful exit. Jo helped architect what became ServiceTitan's payments business, now processing $60 billion annually. They both saw software companies bleeding money on fragmented payment solutions that were never designed for the platforms using them.

Payabli has since raised $60 million in venture capital, serves close to 100 partners, and processes tens of billions in volume. In this episode of Margin for Error, we get into the go-to-market pivot that transformed their sales strategy, why building for complex, high-trust verticals creates competitive advantages that are nearly impossible to replicate, and the lessons they carried from past companies into this one.

Ever worked with tools so outdated you couldn't believe the industry still relied on them? That's the world Michael Corr came from.

Michael is the founder and CEO of Duro, a product lifecycle management platform that's doing for hardware teams what GitHub did for software. He spent years as an electrical engineer watching hardware teams drown in disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems that took six months just to onboard.

When no VC would invest in hardware, he bootstrapped. When the product needed to evolve, he rebuilt the entire thing from scratch to be AI-native. And when COVID and tariffs hit, Duro helped teams navigate a supply chain that was more fragile than anyone realized.

In this episode of Margin for Error, Michael shares the full journey of modernizing an industry that hadn't changed in decades and the emotional toll of building something when nobody else sees the opportunity yet.

Raising capital? Most people aren't ready. Here's proof.

Less than 1% of businesses that seek funding actually get it. Jasmine Ober, founder and CEO of Pitch Genius, has spent nine years flipping those odds. Her clients get funded at a rate nearly 50x the industry average.

Jasmine has spent nine years helping businesses do what less than 1% ever pull off: actually get funded. Her close rate is nearly 50x the industry average. But what makes her approach different isn't the pitch deck itself. It's everything around it: the mindset coaching, the networking strategy, the time management most people underestimate, and the differentiation that separates a funded business from a forgotten one.

Before building Pitch Genius, she sat in angel investor rooms watching entrepreneurs botch their biggest moment. Not because they didn't care, but because nobody taught them what "prepared" actually looks like.

In this episode, we talk about:
🔹 Why your pitch hook matters more than the rest of your deck combined
🔹 The mindset shifts most first-time fundraisers completely underestimate
🔹 How AI is speeding up the process without replacing the thinking investors demand

If your competitor could have written your exact same pitch, you have a problem. This conversation shows you how to fix it.

New episode of Margin for Error is live, and this one's going to change how you think about PR.

Lauren Banyar Reich, founder of LBR/PR, sat down with me to talk about what most business owners get wrong about public relations, why chasing virality is almost always the wrong move, and what actually works when it comes to earning media coverage that drives real business results.

Lauren left the traditional agency world a decade ago to build something better. Since then, her team has landed clients on CBS News, earned front-page features that led directly to new revenue, and created two new initiatives making PR accessible to smaller brands and women-owned businesses.

If you've ever wondered whether PR is worth the investment, or if your brand is even ready for it, this is the conversation to listen to.

Season 2 of Margin for Error is here. 🎙️

New episodes. New guests. Same mission: real conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and operators about what it actually takes to grow a business fast and not break everything along the way.

No scripts. No theory. Just the lessons people learn the hard way.

First up: Lucas J. Pols, managing partner at 1752vc (Formerly Pegasus).

Lucas has reviewed over 1,000 businesses in a single diligence cycle. His accelerator has a 0.3% acceptance rate. And unlike most investors, he doesn't just write a check. He gets in the trenches alongside the companies he backs, helping them hire, fire, and rebuild go-to-market strategy from the ground up.

In this episode, we talk about:
🔹 What separates the businesses that break through from the ones that stall
🔹 Why your pitch deck might be working against you
🔹 How AI is rewriting growth expectations overnight

If you're growing a business right now, this one's worth your time.

In 2025, founders stopped treating pricing as a task and started using it as a growth engine.

The results spoke for themselves. In 2026, we’re going even further: bolder bets, smarter models, faster expansion.

Pricing isn’t what you charge. It’s how you lead.

Pricing power is leadership power.

In 2025, half of the companies we advised had a female leader on the senior team.

Compare that to just 2% of venture funding going to female-founded startups.

The gap is real, but so is the momentum. Female-led exits nearly doubled last year (vs. 10 years earlier).

14 stages. 1 system.

In 2025, we presented the Pricing Multiplier System across 14 global talks, panels, and workshops, equipping founders, operators, and investors with a new way to lead with pricing.

As companies face tighter capital and rising expectations, pricing is no longer a back-office task. It’s a strategic lever and increasingly, a board-level conversation.

2025 was a year of compounding impact.

We worked with bold founders, world-class investors, and teams serious about turning pricing into a strategic edge.

From capital raised to pricing power gained, the numbers speak to one thing: pricing isn’t just about revenue. It’s about reach, readiness, and long-term resilience.

2026, we're just getting started.
