At 28, Joel Oliver faced the daunting reality of open-heart surgery. With the uncertainty of the outcome, he worried about the future of East Coast Studio, a growing family business that still heavily depended on him. Although his surgeon gave him 99% odds of survival, that remaining 1% made him confront life's fragility and the limitations of a business that revolved around one person.
Having transitioned from freelancer to business owner, Joel realized that to ensure the long-term success of his company, he needed to delegate, create systems, and place trust in his team. While he did sneak in some work from his hospital bed the day after surgery, he was able to relax, knowing the team he built could keep things running smoothly.
Nearly six years later, that experience solidified his commitment to building a business rooted in trust and reliability. Today, Joel’s focus is clear: empowering entrepreneurial podcasters by providing them with a dedicated team to manage their podcast workflows, allowing them to live and thrive on their own terms.
