De-stress Your Business

Business doesn’t need to be stressful. This weekly podcast is for business owners, leaders, and managers who want to get better results, with less stress. We go deep on tactics you can roll out today, such as freeing up 15 hours per week (!) of your time, empowering your teams, and sorting out employee onboarding. Paddy Mann and Alexis Kingsbury are serial entrepreneurs who have learned these lessons the hard way over the last 15 years, and now support 100s of other business leaders as co-founders at AirManual.

    Good for entrepreneurs and traditional workers
    While De-stress Your Business has lots of great information for entrepreneurs, it is also useful for traditional workers. I have taken many insights from the podcast and used them in my process analyst role to help find efficiency gains. It has been a great source of inspiration.
