The idea of finding someone to take tasks off the plate sounds great. But without knowing what to delegate, the whole strategy falls apart.

Most gym owners hear “Who Not How” and immediately think about hiring help or outsourcing. But that advice skips a step. The What comes first. Without a clear vision of the outcome, finding the right person doesn’t move the needle – it just adds confusion.

In this episode, Tim and Randy break down a recent dive into agentic AI systems and what that revealed about clarity, delegation, and leverage.

They explain:

• how defining the outcome leads to better workflows
• how AI tools like N8N are changing the game
• why clarity around systems can recapture time and save tens of thousands in recurring costs

Most gym owners stay overwhelmed because they haven’t taken the time to step back and figure out what actually needs to change. That lack of direction is usually the real bottleneck – not the tools, the money, or the staff.
