IAM1876 – Admin Expert Helps CEOs on Business Management and Operations
Podcast Interview with Gwendolyn Young
Why it was selected for “CBNation Architects”:
In this episode, Gwendolyn Young is the featured guest. She is the founder of Your Virtual Admin Expert, a results-driven agency quite fittingly named, as it solves administrative problems for other businesses.
Throughout the episode, Gwendolyn shares her story and experiences. With over 15 years advising corporate executives and a distinguished reputation for significantly increasing profitability, she brings widespread expertise in business management, operations, and administration to the table.
Gwendolyn's journey was not without its challenges. In 2013, she was diagnosed with lupus, leading her to rekindle her administration role and take it online. This ultimately lead to the creation of Your Virtual Admin Expert, allowing her the freedom to replace her corporate income while also taking care of her health.
Your Virtual Admin Expert provides online business management, general administration, and operation support for professional service providers. Given her experience as both an admin professional and a CEO herself, Gwendolyn possesses unique insights into what a CEO needs.
Gwendolyn's “Secret Sauce” combines two decades of experience supporting high-level CEOs and her personal understanding of a CEO's needs.
Apart from discussing her successful business journey, she also shares several valuable recommendations. Her business hack is a community network and an accelerator for black women entrepreneurs, attributing her success to maintaining accountability. Gwendolyn also encourages investment in oneself and the business, recommending taking assistance and not isolating oneself.
Gwendolyn sees the role of a CEO as a servant-leader, who helps the team see the collective value they bring to the client with their diverse personalities, tasks, and gifts.

Gwendolyn Young Teaser 00:00
And I spent 2 decades of my career supporting high-level CEOs. And I think that's what makes me so very unique is because I can see it from both spectrums. I understand what a CEO needs because I am a CEO and I sit in that seat, but then I've supported them for decades. So I also can anticipate.
What they need and know how to support them in the best way and I think that is what makes me so unique.

Hello. Hello. Hello. This is Gresh from the IAMCEO podcast. And I appreciate you listening to this episode. If you've been listening this year, you know, that we hit 1600 episodes at the beginning of this year.
And we're doing something a little bit different where we're repurposing our favorite episodes around certain categories, topics, or as I like to call them, the business pillars that we think are going to be extremely impactful for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, and what I like to call the CB nation architects who are looking to level up their organizations.
This month, we are focusing on operations. These systems will set you free. So think about systems, think about flow, sustainability, potentially working out in your morning routine, waking up, early e-commerce, and different business models.
Think of the operations in the. Models that basically set up the foundation to allow the creativity within organizations, but also to make sure the trains are running on time and things are going as they should.
Now, this is extremely important because we often turn to the sexy parts of business and forget about the operations and how important that is.
So I really want to focus this month on this specific topic. So sit back and enjoy this special episode at the IAMCEO podcast.
