Founder at Maker School: the straightest-line path to building an AI agency (2K+ members, ~$250K MRR) | Co-founder at LeftClick, an AI growth agency serving multibillion dollar portfolio companies.
Everyone selling AI agency builds wants to show you the flashy stuff: Voice agents, autonomous researchers, or chatbots. None of that is what's actually moving money in B2B agency land right now. The systems that sell …

Most founders say Claude can run their business. But in reality: Their "AI agency operating system" is 10 SaaS tools held together with Zapier, hope, and a Notion doc nobody updates. Which means you have CRM in one pl…

I don't pre-qualify my cold email leads and you probably shouldn't either. The common advice is to add qualifying questions to your booking form so you don't waste time on bad calls: Budget range, company size, timeline…

When I was 22, I was going door to door trying to sell automation services(!!) I tried a bunch of stuff that I'd seen other people recommend and none of it worked, so eventually I just said screw it and decided to go wh…

A lot of the big numbers you see online don't mean anything. Someone could say “I made 300k last month” and that’s almost certainly not profit. They’re not going home with that money in their pocket. A lot of companies…

I built a habit tracker app in Claude Code last week for 3 cents. If I had built the same thing through Anthropic's normal API, it probably would have cost me somewhere between $5 and $10 depending on how much back and …

If you ask AI to "build me a lead generation system," you're going to get a generic template back. A good prompt for the same system would specify the business type, where leads come from, how scoring works based on com…

If you're technically skilled and your AI agency isn't growing, the problem probably isn't your tools or your builds. You've spent your whole career being rewarded for getting good at the technical layer, and now you're…

Opus 4.7 dropped a few days ago and half the internet is treating it like some massive breakthrough. It isn't. It's a marginal step up over 4.6, where some benchmarks move 3-4 points, one or two actually regress, and t…

The further a lead is down your funnel, the more follow-ups they should get. A lot of people put the same energy into a fresh booking as they do a proposal that's about to expire but the numbers don't really support tha…
