Building a Business That Runs Without You with Alexis Kingsbury

Episode Overview

In this episode, I'm joined by Alexis Kingsbury, a multi-entrepreneur who started his first business at just 12 years old, yet failed with six consecutive businesses throughout school and university. After being told by a management consultant that he'd "never be able to build a team" and having his first employee quit saying his company had "no culture, no processes and no proper ways of working," Alexis has gone on to build two successful software businesses and a consulting practice serving over 600 organisations worldwide, including Google, Sony and Pepsi. Most importantly, he's completely removed himself from day-to-day operations and regularly takes trips around Europe with his family. If you've ever felt trapped working in your business rather than on it, this conversation will completely change how you think about scaling sustainably.
