A chat with Nicola Depiazzi about how systems can help you build a business that’s not just successful, but truly saleable. We talk about one of the biggest mindset shifts a business owner needs to make: "What if the goal isn’t to work harder… but to make yourself redundant?"
Now that might sound counterintuitive, especially if you’re used to being the engine in your business. But if you want to build something you can step away from — or eventually sell — then your systems need to do the heavy lifting not you, the business owner.
And that’s where today’s guest comes in.
Nicola Depiazzi is a certified SYSTEMologist, a systems expert, and the founder of Green Pillars Consulting. She helps time-poor, overwhelmed business owners get out of the weeds and create documented, repeatable systems — all without becoming a slave to SOPs and manuals.
She’s trained in SYSTEMology — a proven methodology developed by David Jenyns — and has helped dozens of owners create businesses that run smoothly without them.
If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t sell this business — it all depends on me,” then stay tuned. This episode gives you the clarity, motivation, and practical steps to start changing that.

Start building the systems now that will create added value later. You can order a copy of David Jenyns book, Systemology, from Nicola's website at https://greenpillarsco.com/systemology-book/

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
