AI & Automation
Made Practical

Why “Live Your Hobby” Exists

Most small business owners are drowning in admin work instead of focusing on what they love. After 13 years at ADP helping thousands of small businesses, I saw the same pattern everywhere: brilliant entrepreneurs spending 60+ hours a week on tasks that could be automated.

I spent those years watching clients struggle with growth while juggling payroll, compliance, and daily operations. The data showed that the right systems saved them both time and money, but most couldn’t access the kind of strategic automation help they really needed.

So I combined my Kellogg MBA frameworks with generative AI and no-code automation to create Live Your Hobby, a practical approach that puts time back in the hands of people who want to focus on growing their business.
