Stop the Testing Headaches with: Jay Aigner

from Lets Have This Conversation Hosted by Kevin McShan

According to research by Development Academy, a staggering 82% of people don't use any time management system. Bear in mind that a simple to-do or a to-don't list is not a proper system due to the lack of complexity and prioritization of tasks. Still, 33% reported relying on simple to-do lists to manage their work. Jay Aigner, is the CEO of JDAQA a software testing agency with around $2M ARR. Father of 5, student pilot, and amateur Astro photographer. My 5 for 5 (5 am wakeup, workout, stretch, madidate, and journal) has been something friends, family members, and fans of my podcast have keyed on as something they really appreciate. I also host a podcast called The First Customer where I interview successful founders about how they got their first customer. He had his first kid at 19, in college, 1000 miles from home. I graduated, got a job in my dream industry and worked the 9-5 grind for years. Eventually a new challenge presented itself ... get my wife out of working as an overnight long-term pediatric nurse. I applied for Uber and was turned down (my license was from another state than I currently lived). Luckily I stumbled across Upwork (Elance.com at the time) and applied for consulting gigs. Fast-forward a few years later, I've grown my company from a one man software testing consultancy based on my 9-5 experience to a 7-figure testing agency powerhouse with 60+ employees. I'm a father of 5, amateur Astro photographer, student pilot, hockey player, and podcast host. My 5 for 5 (5am wakeup, workout, full body stretch, mediation, and journaling) is my foundation for kicking ass. He is someone who went from 9-5, to consulting to the freedom of running my own business. My family is also currently being featured in a documentary about time management and how successful people spend it. He joined me this week to tell me more.
