The Systems Professor

The Systems Professor with Colie James is your go-to class for building a streamlined, profitable business, without sacrificing your sanity, sleep, or Saturday mornings. If you're a creative entrepreneur who’s tired of duct-taping your backend together with 47 to-do lists, this podcast is your permission slip to ditch the chaos and automate like a pro. Each week, Colie (your favorite former professor turned systems strategist) breaks down how to simplify, automate, and actually enjoy the backend of your business. From client workflows that wow to Airtable setups that make you feel like a tech wizard, she’s here to help you save time, book more clients, and build a business that supports your life—not the other way around. Expect tactical advice, honest opinions, and a sprinkle of sarcasm. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just damn good systems strategy. Tune in weekly for solo episodes, free trainings, and the occasional guest expert. You don’t need to burn your business down to build something better. You just need the right systems and a professor who’s got your back.
