About this episode

Andrew Bolton discusses the advantages of human tech support over AI chatbots for small businesses.

Small business owners waste hours fixing tech problems that could be solved in minutes by professionals.

In this episode, Andrew shares how he built a profitable 24/7 support company serving small businesses for just £40 per month. Learn why DIY tech fixes actually cost more than professional help, how to calculate the real value of your time, and why treating customers like people beats treating them like account numbers. Perfect for business owners tired of wrestling with routers, software glitches, and website problems when they should be focusing on growing their companies.
