Episode 16 - You're Overpaying Your Team to Click Buttons (and There's a Fix)

Your team is busy. Your calendar is full. And almost none of it is moving the needle. Dr. Anthony just came off one of those weeks — packed, exhausting, and somehow totally unproductive. So instead of grinding through it, he got pissed off, went deep on paternity leave, and started auditing where every hour actually goes. What he found? Tasks that shouldn't exist. Systems that cost more in human time than they're worth. And tools available RIGHT NOW that can eliminate most of it. This episode is a masterclass in Tim Ferriss's eliminate → automate → delegate framework — but with real stories, real tools, and zero fluff. What we get into: Why most docs have the order backwards (and why that's costing them) The rule: never delegate what can be automated, never automate what should be eliminated Real story #1: How he automated his entire Meta + Google Ads CSV export workflow (45 min → 5 min, twice a week) Real story #2: The custom desktop tool he built in 90 minutes that captures open tasks, pings his phone, and auto-schedules them to his calendar Why your office manager is probably being overpaid to do CA work How to run a full team time audit — and what to do with what you find Why excellence is systematized, not improvised (Ritz Carlton said so) The challenge: Have every person on payroll write down every task they do for one week — as they do it. Then upload that list into Claude and ask what can be automated. Share this with the doc on your team who's still manually exporting CSVs. They need this.   00:00 Busy But Stuck 01:26 Eliminate Automate Delegate 04:08 Eliminate First 05:15 Automate Next 05:50 Delegate Last 07:13 AI Changes Automation 08:41 Ad Export Automation 11:53 Multitasking With AI 12:51 Calendar Task Capture 15:51 Run A Team Time Audit 18:00 Checklists For Excellence 19:16 Wrap Up And Challenge
