What\u2019s up everybody! This week I\u2019m joined by Gareth Pronovost, Airtable consultant, founder of GAP Consulting, and creator of Airtable Automation Machine. He\u2019s here to share his course creation story and how Airtable Automation Machine helps businesses build databases and automate their workflows.\n\nWhen we automate processes we can focus on doing the stuff that we love and work less.\n\nHaving been a financial analyst in a billion-dollar public company, Gareth knows the burden of spending countless hours doing reports manually on spreadsheets. This slow and inefficient process prevented him from doing the work he should have been focusing on. Then, Airtable came to his rescue. \n\nWith Airtable, Gareth was able to automate his workflow, organize data, and eliminate long hours of manual work. Now with GAP Consulting, he\u2019s helped hundreds of business owners do the same. His course, Airtable Automation Machine, helps entrepreneurs optimize their Airtable setup, integrate business process, and train their team on Airtable on their own schedule. \n\nJoin us to hear how he turned his high-touch consulting process into a detailed course, and how he\u2019s helping business owners focus on the work they love.\n\nEpisode Quotes\n"Airtable is like a box of Legos.
