1,000+ permissioned actions. 300+ users. Zero "who can do what" spreadsheets.
Own the Podium manages sports funding for national sports organisations, and the hardest part of the platform wasn't the funding logic — it was that permissions change depending on which stage a file is in. A reviewer can edit in stage 2 and only comment in stage 3.
We modelled access as (role × stage × action) instead of role alone. Boring decision. It's the reason adding a new role or a new stage has never meant touching the access-control code.
Modeling access as (role × stage × action) is such an elegant solution to state-dependent authorization! Decoupling permissions from static user roles saves so much refactoring tax down the line when workflows evolve. Super clean architecture with Next.js and NestJS!
Thanks Abdul — the refactoring-tax point is exactly why we went this way. What's shown here is only the Funding app; the platform itself is a multi-app SaaS. Roles and permissions don't live inside any one app — they sit in a single shared abstraction layer, so every app in the...
Thank you Ayesha — it took the whole team to get that access model right.
The model is scalable across various apps within the platform or could be extracted as a generic RBAC service. We thought through it a lot!

We've just wrapped up a brand-new Kajabi project! 🎉
This one was a full site build for JAM, a coaching brand with a simple mission: help creators and business owners "get noticed." We built out three flagship coaching programs, Brand Optimisation, Master Color Grading, and Crack the Algorithm, each with its own positioning, pricing, and testimonials.
Bold typography, punchy copy, no generic template feel.
If you're a coach or creator brand looking to turn your Kajabi site into something that actually converts, we'd love to help you build it out! 🚀

RightLife came in looking like an early prototype. It left looking like a company you'd trust with your health data.
Three weeks, five product pages, one scroll section I'm genuinely proud of ("Spend a Day with RightLife"). Same brand DNA, same playfulness, just grown up.
This is what it looks like when maturity doesn't mean losing your personality:)
This is beautiful, Ansh!
