Meet Angela
Angela Chanowsky
Founder and CEO of Unique Genius. Bestselling author. Keynote speaker. Podcast host.
Angela Chanowsky knows what it feels like to be stuck doing it all. As a young mom she realized she could not carry everything herself, so she got brave and hired help at home and in her business in a way that looked different from everyone else. She built her own blueprint, and she has been helping others build theirs ever since.
Today Angela is the Founder and CEO of Unique Genius, the premier choice for elite virtual teams for home service and the trades. Her Philippines based Strategic Partners join HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing and other service businesses as trained, dedicated team members, and gather each year at the Unique Genius Summit. She is the author of The Courageous Mind, the host of the Unique Genius Podcast and a keynote speaker whose current message is simple: your energy is the most important asset you have, and living in your Unique Genius protects it.
Angela starts every day at 4:21 AM with her M4 morning routine and travels the world with her husband and partner, JC.

Meet JC
JC Chanowsky
Partner and Visionary at Unique Genius. Founder, operator and speaker.
JC Chanowsky is Partner and Visionary at Unique Genius, the premier choice for elite virtual teams for home service and the trades. He is a founder who grew Patriot Illumination and Cape Fear Pro Wash into industry leaders, and he has helped hundreds of business owners build stronger teams, better systems and more profitable companies. He brings humor, blunt honesty and the kind of experience that only comes from getting punched in the teeth by entrepreneurship and coming back bigger.
He and Angela have built three companies side by side. He shares the stage with Angela at conventions and masterminds, and starts every day with her at 4:21 AM.
