Stop Being the Lowest-Paid Person in Your Own Business

Welcome to another episode of From Startup to Underground with Nicholas Kuhner.

Louis Swart, seasoned business coach for coaches and the founder of Ironbridge, a human AI-powered virtual assistant company that helps coaches avoid burnout and build self-sustaining businesses.

He's also a speaker, a podcaster, and he's got a challenge to do 100 podcasts in 100 days.

And he's really done 60 of those.

So keep an eye out for that.

That's why he's obviously got no hair left because of all of these podcasts.

But where Louis is also very useful is he helps business owners free up time by delegating low value tasks to AI trained virtual assistants.

And I think all of us are aware of Chachapiti, Grok, Claude, all of these things, and we want to make it work, but Where do you start? Because there's a new one opening up every month and there's a new shiny object always catching our eyes.

So we'll chat to Louis a tiny bit about that.

And what I really love on his business side is stop being the hardest working, lowest paid person in your business.

Because as business owners or entrepreneurs, you often feel that.

You often feel that, you know, you're paying all this money out to staff and for a nice... for all your bits and bobs and electronics and so on, and you don't get anything.

So Louis helps us sort that out.

And he's got a great book called The Bee Myth, How Successful People Accidentally Build Businesses That Steal Their Lives.

So there's a lot to get through in the short amount of time we've got with Louis because he's got to obviously rest before his next 100 episodes.

So Louis, welcome.
