About

Most people don’t fail at building an AI business because of AI. They fail because they don’t know what to sell or how to land clients. If you’ve tried learning automations, prompts, or tools and still feel stuck… you’re not alone. You’ve probably: - Consumed hours of content with nothing monetized - Built “cool” automations no one pays for - Wondered if you’re already behind or “not technical enough” - Thought, “This should be working by now” That gap between knowing AI is an opportunity and actually making money with it is brutal. Here’s the good news: • You don’t need to be a developer. • You don’t need a massive audience. • And you don’t need to invent something new. The ideal future looks like this: 👉 You offer simple, valuable automations businesses already want 👉 You know exactly how to price and pitch them 👉 You land your first (or next) $3K–$5K client with confidence 👉 You’re building something real, not just “learning AI” That’s what I help with. I help aspiring AI & automation agency founders launch and land clients FAST using: 1) Proven service offers (not experiments) 2) Non-technical, monetization-first automations 3) Clear sales systems instead of guesswork 4) No fluff. No “AI magic.” Just practical systems that turn skills into income. If you want: - A clear roadmap to your first or next client - Templates, automations, and real-world examples - Support from people actually building, not just posting 👉 Join The Build Room — a hands-on community for launching and scaling AI automation agencies. Monthly training, templates, live help, and real momentum. Or DM me “AI” and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Founder

May 2025Present · 1 yr · San Francisco Bay Area

  • I help AI agencies land high-value clients in 60 days through strategic positioning and proven systems.
  • Stop competing on price.
  • Founded and scaled a global community of 340+ automation professionals who've learned to position themselves as strategic consultants rather than commodity freelancers.
  • My approach combines technical mastery with business fundamentals most agencies overlook: personal branding, expert positioning, service productization, and content creation that drives inbound opportunities.
  • Members like Aris Gil close $4,750 packages and Joe A secures complex automation projects through enhanced positioning.
  • I bring unique market perspective from 10+ years in marketing at Apple, PlayStation, Nissan, and Charles Schwab. This corporate systems thinking, combined with personally serving 3,000+ customers through proven automation workflows, gives me deep insight into what clients actually value and pay for.
  • My automation solutions deliver measurable impact: content systems generating thousands of impressions, lead workflows saving hours weekly while increasing conversions, and revenue optimization systems producing quantifiable ROI.
  • I help agencies transition from $50/hour task execution to $250/hour strategic consulting.
  • The core differentiator is systematic business development.
  • Rather than teaching just technical skills, I've created the first automation community that integrates strategic positioning with technical competence.
  • This produces positioned experts who attract premium opportunities instead of competing on price.
  • Results speak for themselves: 340+ active professionals building sustainable agencies, consistent 60-day client acquisition track record, and members reporting significantly higher project values through strategic consultant positioning.
