Nick Sonnenberg is a true innovator in the space of operational excellence. How to apply the tools and the processes that absolutely will help you crush it in the workplace. Nick is the founder and CEO of Leverage, a business efficiency consulting and training organization. He’s a brilliant dude who does optimization for the most famous, successful people on the planet. Mm-hmm. The people that tell people what to do with their lives and how to make their lives better, he tells them how to make their lives better. Work has changed, especially in the last year with AI, but all these tools are brand new. It’s less than 10 years old, and no one’s been taught when and how to best use these tools in the workplace. In business, everyone’s got their own preference, so I might text you, then I might shoot Jessica an email, and then I’ll go to this tool, that tool, and when everyone’s got their own idea of when and how to use all these tools, it creates what I call in the book a scavenger hunt. By using high-performance techniques that Nick has perfected, multiply your productivity, multiply your effectiveness, multiply your efficiency. My mission is to save millions and millions of hours of wasted, unproductive, soul-sucking time so that people can have a better work experience, add more value, both to themselves and to the business. I’m having an amazing meeting with Nick, who wrote the book “Come Up for Air,” and Nick is blowing my mind right now with what he’s able to do with AI automation. Nick has AI answer every email. So I sent Nick this email. Nick’s AI will go and draft a response. As of two weeks ago, I get a spot on Team USA for chess boxing, and I’m able to say yes to things like this because I have invested a lot in these systems. I’m not talking about emotionally. He’s not going to coach you through what to do with your relationship. The kid’s a robot, okay? Hasn’t felt anything in the entire time that I’ve known him. Literally just like this. Okay? Boom. A total Elon. That being said, he’s a genius, and if you’re looking to organize small business or are going to organize big business, and you’re like, “How can we improve this? How can we optimize that?” You want to get this immediately right now because he’s giving you all these tips that he charges tens of thousands of dollars to all the leaders of industry. He’s giving away for you right now in this book. So make sure you get “Come Up for Air” for my boy. So please join me in welcoming my dear friend, Nick Sonnenberg.
