Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I sit down with Kirk Newcombe (https://x.com/KirkNewcombe), Founder of TorchPX and a former Search Fund Operator. Kirk managed and grew an 8-figure custom swimming pool business with 150 employees in the Hamptons. He shares how he developed a custom solution for managing data across five different service lines, which ultimately inspired him to launch TorchPX, a technology consulting company focused on AI-enabled workflow optimization and automation.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Kirk used AI and automation to reshape his business, handle real-time KPIs, and why these technologies are now crucial for “sweaty” businesses like construction, pool services, and more.
Questions this episode answers:
- How did Kirk grow his pool business to 8 figures?
- How can AI and automation help with workflow optimization?
- What are the real-world applications of AI in traditional businesses?
- How can business owners implement technology to manage real-time data?
- What inspired Kirk to launch TorchPX and shift into consulting?
