How Mike Gadsby Built a $5.5M Company Working 2 Hours a Day

What if the secret to building a $5.5M business was... working LESS?

Mike Gadsby only works from 5-7am before "vanishing" from his own company. No joke.

In this episode, the O3 co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer reveals how he built a 20-year tech consultancy by breaking every rule in the entrepreneurship playbook. From quitting his economics degree to become a web designer right before 9/11 (his parents thought he was insane) to scheduling his Italian vacations down to the minute, Mike's approach to business and life is refreshingly unorthodox.

What you'll discover:

• Why Mike protects his 5-7am slot like his life depends on it
• The "white whale" that took him 10 YEARS to finally crack (hint: personalization)
• How wrestling taught him the most important business skill (it's not what you think)
• The counterintuitive way he spots acquisition targets
• Why he believes most jobs will be unrecognizable in 2-3 years
• His framework for rapid pivoting that's kept O3 thriving for two decades

Mike drops gems about working with giants like Comcast and Vanguard, shares his AI implementation playbook, and explains why "failing forward" isn't just a buzzword: it's been his actual business strategy.

If you're tired of the usual "hustle 24/7" advice and want to hear from someone who's built a multi-million dollar business while refusing to sacrifice his life, this episode is for you.
