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.

In this episode of Leap to Scale, Justin Davis and Greg Ross-Munro sit down with Dr. John Licato, CEO of SquarePak and Associate Professor at the University of South Florida, to explore one of AI’s biggest unsolved challenges: trust. They discuss why hallucination-resistant AI matters in high-stakes environments like contracts and legal reasoning, how adversarial systems can improve AI decision-making, and why “I don’t know” may be one of the hardest capabilities for AI to develop. The conversation also dives into the future of professional services, the risks of replacing junior talent too quickly, and what business leaders should be thinking about as AI reshapes how expertise is developed and delivered.
