Jason Schappert grew up in an entrepreneurial family. His Mom and Dad were always working together, and never had jobs. Jason's first job was working for his parents pest control company, where he crafted his understanding of what success looked like. Outside of tech, he is married with 3 kids, and is very into all of their sports. Fun fact, his kids enjoy doing their homeschooling in the office with their Dad, listening to calls and asking big questions - so business is actually what they do for fun.For 16 years, Jason grew and ran a business in aviation. After a successful exit, he and his wife Magda were considering what to do next. She quickly remembered all of the things Jason did behind the scenes to setup their personal finances for success, in the midst of a chaotic startup life.This is the creation story of Moola.SponsorsSpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://moo.la/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonschappert/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We built one of the largest aviation businesses in the business of FAA test preparation. We produced the books, the curriculums, everything for pilots. We made an eight-figure exit to private equity. All great. However, what I'm telling you is just what you see on stage. Behind the scenes, we nearly went broke twice.
We couldn't manage our personal finances, which means we couldn't manage our business finances. We almost lost that business on several occasions. And Moolah, oddly enough, was really built out of that. I'm Jason Schappert, and I'm the founder of Moolah.
This is CodeStory. A podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries. Who share what it takes to change an industry. Who built the teams that have their back.
Keeping scalability top of mind.
All that infrastructure was a pain. Yes, we've been fighting it as a group. Total waste of time. The stories you don't read in the headlines. It's not an easy thing to achieve. Took it off the shelf and dusted it off and tried to begin. Deride the ups and downs of the startup life. You need to really want it. It's not just about technology. All this and more on CodeStory.
