The Systems Guy • Follow me for systems on health, wealth, and free time ⚡ Cornell MBA • 2M+ audience

Hi, I'm Ben Meer.

Tired of non-actionable life advice, I started writing online in February 2022.

Here are the results:

→ Built social audience from 0 to 2M+ (across IG, LinkedIn, and X) 
→ Grew 0 to 690K+ followers on LinkedIn in 21 months
→ Scaled newsletter—System Sunday—from 0 to 270K+ subscribers

There are 2 primary ways I can help you:

1) System Sunday Newsletter

Most people don't know how to build life systems to accelerate personal growth. So I created a weekly newsletter that teaches these systems (it's free). Subscribe to unlock new levels of wealth, health, and freedom.

One of the highest ROI skills? Storytelling.

How to tell stories that captivate any audience:

Important truth:

People don't buy ideas.
They buy the story wrapped around them.

Think about it:

We've all sat through presentations packed with perfect data, flawless slides, and logic that should convince everyone.

But people tune out.
Email gets checked.
And everyone wants it to end. 

The best presentations don't overwhelm with data.
They focus on stories you can relate to.

Average communicators:
↳ Rely on logic alone
↳ Dump data with no context
↳ Overcomplicate the main message

Elite communicators:
↳ Show before-and-after journeys
↳ Make audiences feel the stakes
↳ Build connection through stories

Master storytelling and everything changes:

• Ideas get funded
• Your team rallies behind you
• You become the favorite in the market

One great story can change the world.

Your biggest problem isn't time.

It's not prioritizing correctly.

Use the Eisenhower Matrix to stress less and get more done:

Quadrant 1: Urgent + Important

• Customer emergencies
• Project deadlines with real consequences
• System failures

Action: Silence any distractions and tackle these first.

—

Quadrant 2: Important but Not Urgent

• Business strategy development
• Skill building and learning
• Relationship nurturing

Action: Block dedicated time in your schedule.

—

Quadrant 3: Urgent but Not Important

• Routine correspondence
• Basic administrative work
• Standard operational tasks

Action: Train and delegate others to handle these.

—

Quadrant 4: Neither Urgent nor Important

• Mindless scrolling
• Agenda-free meetings
• Workplace drama

Action: Cut these out entirely to protect your focus.

Master this framework to master your to-do list. 

Take back your time today. 💪

7 Addictions You Must Break by Colby Kultgen:

How to be a world-class strategic thinker.

Learn SWOT Analysis:

• Leverage your strengths 
• Eliminate your weaknesses 
• Identify opportunities to take advantage of
• Avoid threats before they happen

My favorite part of SWOT?

You can apply it everywhere:

• Life (starting healthy habits) 
• Career (learning high-leverage skills) 
• Business (spotting areas to capitalize) 

You don’t have to live life reactively. 

You can play strategically instead.

Learning anything fast is a career superpower. 

4 expert frameworks to master new skills:

1. Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule)
Focus on the most critical 20% of the material that leads to 80% of learning.

2. Spaced Repetition 
Review information at increasing time intervals so it sticks better in your memory.

3. Feynman Technique
Explain a concept as simply as possible to see what you truly understand.

4. Memory Palace
Turn facts into mental images because visuals are easier to remember.

7 types of rest to perform at your best

(and avoid burnout):

Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's profound work shows you where to focus:

1. Physical Rest
2. Mental Rest
3. Social Rest
4. Spiritual Rest
5. Sensory Rest
6. Emotional Rest
7. Creative Rest

If you’re feeling exhausted (even after 8+ hours of sleep), 
Then you likely have a rest deficiency in another category. 

Dr. Dalton-Smith advises picking 1-2 of your biggest deficits to focus on first.

Eventually, building systems to work up to all 7. 

Once you do, you’ll feel lighter and more energized than ever.

20 Sentences to Boost Your Leadership Skills:

Bad meetings cost companies $37 billion annually.

8 strategies to ensure you run productive ones:

1. Implement the Two-Pizza Rule (Source: Jeff Bezos)
2. Do Standing Meetings
3. Create Detailed Agendas
4. Keep One Symbolic Seat Open
5. Leverage AI Transcription Tools
6. Use Maker-Manager Schedules
7. Integrate the Four-Bullet Update
8. End Meetings with Action Memos

When I hired my first employee 18 months ago,

Our bi-weekly meetings would drag for 2+ hours. 

We’d often have to text, call, and schedule follow-up meetings to clarify decisions. 

It was a major time-suck (anyone relate?).

Then we started using these 8 tactics.

Now our meetings actually move projects forward,
And rarely ever go past an hour.

If these 8 tips worked for us, I’m confident they’ll work for you too.

Try them today and reclaim lost time.

18 subtle ways your environment shapes your life:

Here’s a secret that transformed my thinking:

You don’t need to be loud to leave an impact.

6 simple steps to be quietly confident:

1. Learn and grow every day
2. Focus on intentional body language
3. Use the SHR Method
4. Create positive self-momentum
5. Always pause before you speak
6. Remember the Pratful Effect

Growing up, I believed that being loud = confidence. 

As an introvert, it was a limiting belief that crushed me. 

I struggled deeply with confidence (anyone else?). 

Until a quote by Steve Mangness stopped me in my tracks,

“True confidence is quiet. Insecurity is loud.” 

Whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert, 

Being quiet is not a weakness.

It’s thoughtful, intentional, and reflective. 

All things we need to thrive in business (and life).

7 Useful Systems for Digital Minimalism:

From 18k followers to the Financial Times. 

Let me tell you about Dr. Thomas Funke.

He’s the co-founder of Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences, a pioneering remote-first university focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and impact. 

He’s also a keynote speaker who’s delivered 100+ speeches for world-leading organizations like Deutsche Bank and Porsche.

But before joining Archimedes:

• His audience was steady but limited at 18,000 followers.
• His content wasn’t breaking through beyond his immediate network.
• He knew LinkedIn could amplify his vision, but wasn’t sure how to build the right systems to scale.

—

Fast forward to today:
➟ He’s grown from 18,000 to over 83,000 engaged followers.
➟ His content caught the attention of a Financial Times editor, leading to a published feature.
➟ His ideas about the future of education, leadership, and entrepreneurship are now reaching decision-makers, changemakers, and, most importantly, clients. 

How did it happen?

Thomas applied the proven systems from Archimedes (the most exclusive members club for LinkedIn thought leaders). 

With accountability, frameworks, and a powerful community, 
he turned his expertise into impact at scale.

I knew Thomas would be a perfect fit in Archimedes because:
↳ He has deep expertise in entrepreneurship and education.
↳ He writes about topics that resonate deeply with our members: leadership, innovation, and personal growth.
↳ His work has real-world stakes: shaping the next generation of leaders.

And above all, he’s genuinely committed to making a positive impact.
