EP81: Goodbye

In this final episode of the ASOM Pod, hosts Jimmy Kim (CEO of eCom Email Marketer, formally Founder of Sendlane), John Roman (CEO of BattlBox), Amer Grozdanic (CEO of Praella), and Bryan MacDonald (Director of eCommerce at Oma’s Pride) sit down together one last time to say goodbye. After almost two years of recording, debating, and laughing the guys talk candidly about the decision to end the pod. They get real about the time, money, and energy it takes to produce a show at this level, how it started to compete with their businesses and personal lives, and why it felt like the right moment to step away. There’s a lot of reflection in this episode. The fun moments. The unexpected lessons. The friendships that came out of doing this week after week. This isn’t a dramatic goodbye. It’s an honest one. A conversation about seasons, priorities, and knowing when to close a chapter, even when it’s been a good one. Thank you for being part of the ASOM Pod. This is the final send, and it meant a lot. And this isn’t the last time you’ll see us. We’re still very much a part of Commerce Roundtable. We’ll see you in Austin & San Diego!

EP79: SaaS and agency pricing is broken and no one wants to say it

In this episode of the ASOM Pod, hosts Jimmy Kim (CEO of eCom Email Marketer, formally Founder of Sendlane), John Roman (CEO of BattlBox) and Amer Grozdanic (CEO of Praella) go straight at one of the most uncomfortable questions in eCommerce: Should SaaS companies and agencies really be taking a percentage of your revenue? This conversation gets opinionated fast. Here’s what they dig into:<ul><li>Why percentage-based SaaS pricing feels great early and painful later</li><li>Whether agencies should earn upside or stick to flat fees</li><li>When “we grow when you grow” turns into misaligned incentives</li><li>The hidden costs of SaaS taking a cut without taking any downside</li><li>Why cancel threats, discounts, and churn games are becoming normalized</li><li>How brands should actually think about value, pricing, and long-term sustainability </li></ul>If you’ve ever looked at your SaaS stack or agency invoices and thought “this doesn’t feel right anymore”, this episode puts words to that feeling._____ Big shoutout to our sponsor who makes this podcast possible!

EP78: 2026 goals, real numbers, and the lessons 2025 taught us

In this episode of the ASOM Pod, hosts Jimmy Kim (CEO of eCom Email Marketer, formally Founder of Sendlane), John Roman (CEO of BattlBox), Amer Grozdanic (CEO of Praella), and Bryan MacDonald (Director of eCommerce at Oma’s Pride) crack open the real recap of 2025 and get painfully honest about how they’re leveling up for 2026. This one’s not polished. It’s wins, misses, hard lessons, and the kind of goals you only set after getting absolutely humbled by running real businesses in real markets. Here’s what they dig into:<ul><li>Setting aggressive but actually achievable revenue and EBITDA targets (no delusion, just focus)</li><li>Building stable teams and strong leadership without slowing momentum</li><li>Moving toward sales-led organizations and using AI as a real service, not just a buzzword for decks</li><li>Launching and scaling new businesses with $1M+ ARR potential</li><li>Prioritizing health, family, and delegation without blowing up growth</li></ul> They also get candid about why business success is wildly unpredictable, why delegation stops being optional as you scale, and why protecting family time eventually becomes a strategic decision, not just a personal one. _____ Big shoutout to our sponsor who makes this podcast possible!
