Join your host, Ashleigh King, as she welcomes Paul King – Co-Founder of Flow Software Solutions, host of The Modern Compliance Podcast, surveying software specialist, family man, and passionate champion of underdog businesses, for a grounded, energising and deeply practical conversation about entrepreneurship, community, industry change, and doing work that truly matters. From solving “hair on fire” report-writing chaos in the surveying industry to protecting staff culture with unapologetic boundaries, Paul shares what it really takes to bootstrap a SaaS company, uplift clients, and build something sustainable without outside investment. Together, Ashleigh and Paul explore time, family, mould health, recurring revenue, leadership, podcasting, and what it means to grow a business without losing your values. Themes of this conversation: 🌵 The real problem Flow solves Giving surveyors their evenings back – reclaiming time for tea with their families instead of writing reports at 10pm. 🌵 David vs Goliath in business Why supporting small surveying firms matters, and how software can level the playing field against large corporate monopolies. 🌵 Bootstrapping vs outside investment Building Flow Software Solutions from scratch, learning from failure, pivoting hard, and growing to 350+ clients without investors. 🌵 Mould, health & hidden risk The reality of damp buildings, changing legislation, Awaab’s Law, and why indoor air quality is more important than we think. 🌵 Boundaries & culture The “two strikes rule,” protecting staff from toxic clients, and why revenue should never come at the cost of values. 🌵 Recurring revenue & employee incentives How a SaaS bonus structure aligns the whole team – and why sharing growth builds loyalty and momentum. 🌵 Working with family Building a company with his brother and sister, the power of trust, and why familiarity can be a strength, not nepotism. 🌵 Podcasting as growth Stepping into discomfort, finding confidence in public speaking, and using curiosity as a bridge to connection. 🌵 Fatherhood & perspective How becoming a dad reshaped Paul’s relationship with work, safety, and legacy. 🌵 Community over competition Why referrals, partnerships, and uplifting others create long-term business resilience. - Paul reminds us that good software gives people their time back, that values matter more than vanity metrics, and that business growth should feel human. - Links & Resources Flow Mobile Surveying Website https://www.flowmobile.app/ Flow Mobile Surveying’s Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@flowmobilesurveying The Modern Compliance Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wCiStPR0XLEutMgZcn5jc Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@flowmobilesurveying Connect with Flow Mobile Surveying on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/flow-software-solutions/posts/?feedView=all Connect with Paul King on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulking1/ Connect with Your Host, Ashleigh King https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleigh-elizabeth-king/ This podcast was filmed at Flamingo Heights Podcast Studio. 🦩 If you would like to record a podcast or have any questions about starting a podcast please write to: 💌 bookings@flamingoheights.co.uk www.flamingoheights.co.uk
