Are your business systems collecting dust? You're not alone. Most wellness practitioners create systems that end up outdated, ignored, or completely forgotten. In this episode, I'm joined by David Jenyns, author of the brand new book "Systems Champion," and we're diving deep into why most practice systems fail and the game-changing solution that actually works. David reveals the concept of the systems champion - that crucial team member who keeps your systems alive, updated, and actually being used when you get distracted by the next shiny object. We explore the exact personality traits to look for when hiring your systems champion, how AI is revolutionizing (not replacing) business processes, and why even solo practitioners can't afford to skip systemization. Whether you're drowning in chaos or you've tried to build systems before without success, this conversation will transform how you think about creating a business that truly runs without you.
