A short YouTube monologue by Matan Hazanov describing how high external interest in his assistant's skills unexpectedly inspired a startup. The speaker—having built a previous $100M+ company—relates that people were more fascinated by his assistant than by him, which led him and the assistant to experiment with finding similarly skilled people for others. That experiment in delegation evolved organically into a business model offering delegation services (operations, support, etc.) to clients.

It was funny because the common denominator that kept coming up was people were more enthralled with my. With my assistant than they were with me. I was like, I just finished a, you know, 100 million plus startup. Like, I thought I was, you know, big cheese. And people were. All they could talk about was like, oh, my gosh, this guy's amazing. Where'd you find him? Can you get. Can he find me someone? And it was, like, very serendipitous. One day we just sat down and we're like, hey, like, do you think we could find more people of your caliber and your skill level? Sounds like people are asking for that. And he was like, absolutely. Like, no problem. Consider it done. Like, let's do it. And it sort of started forming that way. And so this kind of experiment of delegating kind of formed into this real organic way of not just me delegating the work of building this business, but now being able to share that with other clients and being able to share that with other people to help them delegate parts of their business, whether that be operations or support or, you know, just different areas.
