Quick, bite sized episodes for a critical topic

Ben does a great job breaking down the metrics for saas businesses into small pieces that are easy to understand and use in your business.

Pro-tip: download the free excel templates to speed things up.

(I also recommend his saas online course if you need more detail or handholding, the slack group is very useful and active)
