Where your hours leak
The handful of tasks that eat most of the time in businesses like yours, and how to spot yours in an afternoon.
Free · Live online · Every Thursday
Get your hours back with AI. Free, live, every Thursday.
A 45-minute working session for owners and managers of real-world businesses. No jargon, no pitch deck. I show where the hours leak in a business like yours, fix one task live with AI, and hand you the loop to do it yourself on Monday.
Hosted by Russell Cole, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Airtable certified. Free. Seats are capped so there is time for your questions.
What you leave with
Three things you can use the same week.
You get a clear picture, one real example, and a method your team can repeat.
One task, fixed live
A real before and after on screen, using whichever AI tool fits: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot.
The loop, on one page
The five-step method I use with clients, printable, so someone on your team can run it without me. Preview it.
Industry spotlights
Same session, a different industry in focus each week.
Everyone is welcome at every session. The spotlight decides which examples we use, so you see work that looks like yours.

The 45 minutes
Built for people who run things, not people who code.

The loop
Find the leak, name the number, build the fix, prove it moved, hand it over.

Your questions
Open floor. Two minutes at the very end on how I work with companies. That is the whole pitch.
Who it is for
Owners, managers, and the person who keeps the office running.
Ten to two hundred people, real operations, and a team already paying for tools nobody fully uses.
Your host
Russell Cole, founder of Corbel Ops
HubSpot, Salesforce, and Airtable certified. Built full sales automation programs in HubSpot and Salesforce, the Airtable automations behind a national agtech accelerator’s July 2026 launch, and a childcare director’s tools that took a 40-hour task down to a few hours.
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, no catch. Book a seat and the video link arrives by email.
Will you try to sell me something?
Two minutes at the end on how I work with companies. If that is not for you, you still leave with everything above.
Can my team come?
Yes. Each person books their own seat so everyone gets the link.
Can’t make this Thursday?
It runs every week. Book the one that fits.
Thursdays, 1:00 pm ET
Bring the task that eats your week.
Forty-five minutes, free, live. Leave with one fix and a method your team can repeat.
