How does Arc take digital clutter off this founder’s plate?

Down & Dirty with Dr. T. is back with yet another episode, and our featured guest this time is Jared Neutel.

Jared is an entrepreneur with over 14 years of experience in the tech space. He has led product and engineering teams across multiple companies, bootstrapped Neutech, a senior software staff augmentation team for seed and series A startups, and also co-founded Tixologi, a venture-backed, blockchain-based ticketing platform.

In this episode, Jared shares what an average day in his life as a founder looks like, starting with early mornings and a commute to the office, followed by back-to-back calls with clients, leads, and internal teams while he keeps systems and processes running smoothly. He also talks about the ongoing challenge of delegation and learning to step back as his team takes ownership. He then highlights the Arc browser as a key part of his workflow, explaining why he moved away from Chrome and how its structured workspaces, cleaner tab management, shortcuts, and seamless syncing across devices help him stay organized and manage conversations, documents, and tasks in one place.

Highlights from the episode:

• A day in the life – Jared’s day usually begins early, waking up between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m., and he tries to wrap up by 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. Most of his day is spent in back-to-back meetings with clients, leads, and internal teams, focused on quick decisions and problem solving. After work, he heads to the gym and ends the day with a no-phone dinner with his wife.

• The founder’s core responsibility – Jared sees his primary role as making sure systems and processes are followed and that work moves forward as planned. A large part of his job is setting his team up for success, identifying blind spots, and continuously improving how things run. He aims for the team to handle about 80 percent of the work well, while he steps in to support and guide the remaining 20 percent. This operational and strategic focus helps keep the business steady while shaping its direction.

• Delegation as an ongoing challenge – One of Jared’s biggest personal hurdles is delegation. He finds it difficult to hand off tasks where he feels he could execute them better himself. Letting go becomes especially challenging when he notices small details going off track, but he also recognizes that allowing the team to own most of the work, even with occasional mistakes, is essential for long-term growth.

• Arc Browser for staying organized – He talks about the Arc browser which is built by The Browser Company. He moved from Chrome because Arc helps him structure his work through organized tab folders, separate workspaces for different companies like Neutech and Tixologi, and quick shortcuts that reduce friction during the day. Tabs sync across his phone and computer and clear automatically if unused, while Chrome-based syncing keeps passwords and bookmarks intact. This setup helps him manage conversations, documents, and tasks in one place with a greater sense of calm and clarity.
