From Gym to SaaS: How Dan Uyemura Built PushPress to $13M ARR

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is
joined by Dan Uyemura, gym turned SaaS enthusiast and Founder &
CEO at PushPress, who shares his story building PushPress to $13M
ARR. "Everybody has tried being the CEO, I think it just stuck with
me. And probably I'm the most natural fit to be the CEO that we
need at PushPress, because even though I consider myself mostly an
introvert and somebody who wants to just sit in my room by myself
and do what I have to do, being a CEO - the CEO that PushPress
needed was an outfacing, stand on a soapbox and talk to the world
CEO - and of the three founders, I'm actually the probably the most
equipped to do that." Dan shares: - His lifelong entrepreneurial
journey from paper routes and lemonade stands to founder & CEO
- The one thing that landed them their first investor - Loans, free
money, and speakeasy fitness during Covid - Building a high trust
quotient with clients - Creating leverage in a company and
more.      Check out the other ways SaaStock is
