Expert To Authority With Simone Vincenzi

I am your host, Simone Vincenzi, The Experts Strategist, and this is the podcast for experts who want to become the ultimate authority in their niche while making an impact in the world.

Today I have the pleasure to Interview Nick Bolton

Nick is the founder and CEO of Animas. An existentially-oriented coach and supervisor, Nick has created Animas to embody the qualities of unknowing with an emergent approach to coaching that informs the coach training at every level.

In this episode we talk about

Building a 4 Hour Work Week Business

What does it mean?

For Nick, it doesn’t mean “passive income” - it means a system that empowers other people to do a great job, realise their potential and provide real and lasting value to customers.

It means a business that continues to thrive and prosper without the direct requirement for me as an owner to be a “doer”.
