Leap to Scale
Leap to Scale is for technology curious leaders of service firms who want higher margins without adding headcount. Each week, Justin Davis and Greg Ross-Munro show how to turn firm expertise into repeatable, sellable technology products: SaaS, packaged workflows, and AI-powered tools clients can buy again and again. With AI, more of your know-how can be captured, standardized, and protected as IP instead of being rebuilt in every engagement.
We focus on practical decisions: what to productize, how to price it, when to build vs. buy, and how to use AI responsibly without risking delivery quality or margin. Clear steps, real tradeoffs, usable examples.

Prototype Like You Mean It, Part 1

In this episode, Justin Davis and Greg Ross-Munro break down why prototyping is one of the most important steps in building software-driven products or improving service business operations. They explain how prototypes help test whether an idea actually solves a problem before investing serious time and money into building it. The discussion covers practical ways to prototype quickly using spreadsheets, forms, automation tools, and AI-assisted development. They also explore the difference between prototypes and proof-of-concepts—and why entrepreneurs must avoid becoming emotionally attached to early versions of their ideas.
