John Fly III on FirmPilot AI, Agentic SEO Systems & Turning Service Agencies Into $100M SaaS!!!
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode of The Victory Show, Travis Cody sits down with Dr. John Fly III—CTO of FirmPilot AI and a self-described “pademic” who blends doctoral-level systems thinking with hands-on building. John shares how he transformed a traditional service agency into a high-margin AI SaaS platform valued near $100M by replacing “more people” thinking with defensible IP, agent pipelines, and measurable output. They unpack John’s origin story (coding at 7, writing mortgage software at 15), why “impossible problems just take longer,” and how continuous improvement isn’t a feel-good slogan—it’s a leadership requirement. John also breaks down how FirmPilot’s multi-agent content pipeline differs from “just using ChatGPT,” why focus and positioning make AI adoption defensible, and what it takes to scale from a handful of customers to triple-digit growth without breaking culture.
