Guest: Damien Schreurs, Explainer-in-Chief at EasyTECH

How do you run a successful solopreneur business without burning out or working around the clock?

In this episode of the Champion Mindset Collective Podcast, Anthony Dahya sits down with Damien Schreurs, the Explainer-in-Chief of EasyTECH and host of the Macpreneur Podcast. Damien shares his journey from an 18-year corporate career as a Research and Development Engineer to building a sustainable solopreneur business powered by smart systems, automation, and now artificial intelligence.
