Mugen Psychiatry’s CEO and founder, Dr. Alan Akira, needed to regain time and become more intentional about how he spent it. His day-to-day responsibilities were taking up too much bandwidth and limiting his ability to focus on bigger business priorities. He also wanted to strengthen his leadership while improving how he managed his schedule. He worked with a dedicated executive assistant, Tina, to offload and organize ongoing responsibilities. The partnership centered on building better delegation habits and creating more structure around how his time was allocated. Through this working relationship, he learned to scrutinize commitments more closely and prioritize higher-leverage work. Within 90 days, the partnership bought him back 20 hours per week. He became more critical of his time and improved his time management. With the additional capacity, he focused on bigger projects to move the business forward.

Levels started with a single executive assistant and saw an outsized impact on day-to-day execution. As the company grew, leadership needed more leverage to keep pace with increasing workload and coordination demands. The initial support proved valuable enough to consider expanding the model across the organization. Levels expanded executive assistant support beyond the original hire. The CEO scaled the approach by bringing on additional executive assistants to support the company’s growing needs. This created broader coverage for executive support as the organization expanded. Levels scaled from 1 executive assistant to 20 across the company. The CEO stated that the company’s growth was directly fueled by the executive assistant support. The expanded assistant team became a meaningful driver behind how the company operated as it grew.
