A B2B Podcast & Automation Studio

The Manual Tax

What doing it by hand really costs you.

Every task your team does by hand that software could do instead is a hidden line-item — paid in hours, not dollars. The Manual Tax is a show about finding that cost, and an itemized deduction for the businesses that fix it.

01 — The Show

Weekly conversations with founders about where their time actually goes.

What the show is about

Each episode is a working audit — a real operator walks through their business, and we find the manual work quietly taxing their week. No theory, no hype. Every guest leaves with a concrete automation roadmap they can hand to a developer the same day.

Run a $40k+/month online business? You probably qualify for a refund.

Who this is for

If you are a founder of an agency, ecommerce brand, or creator business doing real revenue, come sit down for an honest conversation. We will find where you are paying the manual tax without knowing it — and you will walk away with a plan, on record, in front of an audience of other operators.

03 — About

Yev. Host & systems builder.

How the work started

I am Yev. I build automation systems for online businesses — and I am the one actually doing the builds, not just drawing boxes on a whiteboard. I started The Manual Tax because the most interesting conversation in every project kept happening off to the side: not the tech, but where a founder's week was quietly disappearing. So I put a microphone on it.
