AUTOMATION HAS COME TO SMALL BUS LET THE ROBOT
Running a small business means wearing many hats. More often than not, CEOs find themselves moonlighting as marketers, customer service specialists, human resources representatives, project managers, and just about any other job that needs doing. That’s why more and more entrepreneurs are exploring automation to free up their time and focus on growing their business rather than just keeping it afloat. AUTOMATION ON YOUR LEVEL In the past, automated systems were solely within the purview of big businesses. Applications for organization were either too expensive or too wide in scope to fit the needs of smaller companies, but those days are over. Plenty of tools have been developed to help you and your team reduce workloads and run more efficiently, no matter your company’s size. REDUCING THE CHAOS Unless your business is large enough for several project managers, chances are that every employee is responsible for their own organization. This quickly leads to miscommunication, conflicting schedules, and roadblocked projects. Thankfully, many basic functions of a project manager have been automated thanks to applications like Apptivo.

CONGRATS TO OUR O2 ATHLETES!
As Dave mentions on the cover, we had an amazing showing from all our O2 athletes at this year’s Games! We couldn’t speak more highly of Kari, Amanda, Saxon, and Dre for powering through the competition in Madison, making us all very proud. Here’s a look at each of their achievements! KARI PEARCE NAMED ‘FITTEST AMERICAN WOMAN’ Kari’s success started early in the Games when she took first in the Mary event, not only beating all the women but also all the men! Mary consisted of a 20-minute AMRAP of five handstand pushups, 10 single-leg squats, and 15 pullups. Kari did 695 reps in 20 minutes, beating the first-place male finisher, Noah Ohlsen, by 18 reps and Games gold medalist Mat Fraser by 20 reps. AMANDA BARNHART POWERED THROUGH ADVERSITY Despite rolling her ankle during the ruck run on the second day of the Games and almost withdrawing completely, Amanda persisted and showed a great deal of determination and grit. Facing adversity, she still won the sprint couplet event, had her redemption at the pegs, came head-to-head with champion Tia- Clair Toomey with a 260-pound squat clean, and took second in the ringer. SAXON PANCHIK SPRINTED INTO THE TOP 10 Saxon jetted past the competition and jumped up the leaderboard after winning first place in the sprint event six on Day 3. Keeping fitness in the family, Saxon competed alongside
his brother, Scott Panchik, all the way through the top 10 and placed ninth to his brother’s fourth. Did we mention Saxon was the youngest male athlete in the top 10?
DRE STROHM TOOK GOLD WITH CROSSFIT MAYHEM FREEDOM As a member of the incredible Team Mayhem Freedom, Dre helped the reigning champs defend their title, dominating the team strongman’s fear, big chipper, swim paddle, and
the trio. Witnessing the trio in particular was breathtaking — watching this elite team come together to crush this intense series of exercises in just over 16 minutes was head-spinning. Dre Strohm embodies what it means to have humility and hustle.
