Why You’re Always Busy But Getting Nothing Done with Nick Sonnenberg

March 24, 2026·57 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Nick Sonnenberg, founder and CEO of Leverage, to break down why most businesses feel busy but struggle to make real progress. Nick shares how small inefficiencies like email, meetings, and disorganized systems quietly drain thousands of hours from teams every year and why the real problem isn’t effort, it’s how your business is structured. He explains his “return on time” framework, how to identify where time is being lost, and the simple changes that can give leaders and teams hours back every week. They also get into what happens when a company grows too fast without the right systems, how Nick rebuilt his business after losing a co-founder, and why the best operators focus less on working harder and more on building systems that scale.
