Ryan Black, The Staffless Business

Short bio (120 words)

Ryan Black is the founder of Euphorium, a licensed cold plunge and sauna business in Dubai that runs its sales, quoting, follow-ups, bookkeeping and marketing entirely through AI agents Ryan built himself, with no full-time employees. He operates the business remotely and publishes a live incident log of what breaks and how he catches it. His book, The Staffless Business, is a 200-page playbook documenting the workflows, the AED costs, and the metrics from a real P&L nobody else has published. He speaks to founder communities, corporate L&D teams, and event audiences on how solo operators and small teams can automate the first five workflows that eat their week.

What audiences get

• The 5 workflows a solo or small-team business should automate first (and in what order)
• The real cost stack: mine runs under USD 400 / month all-in for a full ops setup
• Live AI-agent metrics from a real UAE P&L, data nobody else has published
• What breaks and how to catch it, the incident log I keep in production
• Concrete "delegation-vs-automation" framework for deciding what to automate first
