I said I was going to build an automotive business in 2026. Here she is. It’s called QuickShift.

Today, I'm announcing a software tool service for small business owners. I built and sold my last company for $52,000,000. From idea to exit, it took almost exactly 4 years. We scaled to 150 people, and in that entire time, I only worked on the business 782 hours in total. I know because I tracked every hour. To do that, it isn’t hustle. It’s systems. That looks like documented processes, clear delegation, and the right people running well-defined systems. That’s how you stop working in your business and start working on it. After working with tons of founders, I noticed the same pattern every time. Everyone knows they should have SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), but almost no one actually makes them. Not because founders are lazy—but because documenting systems is slow, painful, and always gets pushed to “later.” So my co-founder and I built the thing we always wished existed. ​Outliner lets you document SOPs while you work. You turn it on, you do your process, and you talk through what you’re doing—raw is fine. Outliner uses AI to turn that recording into clean, structured, usable SOPs automatically. No scripts. No polish. No perfect explanations—just real processes, captured in real time. You can use the software yourself, or our team can document everything for you. Either way, your business finally runs on systems, not memory. If you want a business that works without constant effort, use Outliner. 👉 Outliner.com
