Rand Fishkin is the co-founder of SparkToro and previously built Moz to $50M ARR—before stepping away and rethinking everything about how he works, hires, and grows a company.
Today, SparkToro is a 3-person, profitable SaaS business doing $1.5M+ in revenue, and it’s intentionally calm: no cold calls, no demos, and no aggressive sales playbooks.
In this episode, Rand explains how to grow sustainably without chasing scale, how he leveraged brand to jumpstart SparkToro, and why product, not integrations, features, or funnels, is the real growth engine.
