SmartRIA founder Mac Bartine joined the Wealth Preservation Podcast once more and shared his insight on building and scaling a SaaS company with a virtual workforce. Mac’s extensive experience in the startup world gives him keen insight on the common mistakes new companies make -- and bad company culture can derail a company’s progress. We discuss the work that went into starting the company, scaling to bigger clients, decentralizing the decision making, which roles were the first to be outsourced, and so much more. Mac also shares his views regarding mentorship and why it’s important to have many mentors -- not one mentor or coach -- many! Whether you’re a SaaS company, a legal firm, a blue-collar company, or anything in between, Mac’s experience as an entrepreneur is relevant to any business.

Mac’s extensive experience in the startup world gives him keen insight on the common mistakes new companies make -- and bad company culture can derail a company’s progress. Mac highlights the difference in workers through a fighting analogy: the soldiers, those who need to be told what to do, and the gorillas, the problem solvers that take initiative. When you’re a new startup, it’s the luck of the draw as to whether your hires are soldiers or gorillas, but as you grow, those smart gorillas can rise through the organization.
