    1 Person. $1M Business. Zero Team. 1 Killer App.

    AJ grew up in New Delhi with no roadmap. He failed grade 12. Not once, but twice, which in India gets treated like a death sentence. At 17 he moved to the United States alone, with broken English and no network. He wanted more. So he started building. From a single Google Doc and a Tumblr page, he grew Roomi from zero to 2.4 million users across more than 20 cities, all out of an underground studio in New York City. Then came Simplified, scaled to 20 million users and one of the first companies in the world to build on OpenAI's API. Along the way he raised over $29 million in venture capital and landed on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Then he walked away from the venture playbook entirely. Today AJ is the Vibe Founder. Over 300,000 followers on Instagram. 114,000 on LinkedIn. A newsletter closing in on 40,000 subscribers. Every Sunday he builds live in public, showing anyone who shows up that one person plus AI can now replace a whole company. His mission? Take a one-person business to $1 million in revenue, in public, by the end of the year, and give away the tools as he goes. In this episode, AJ breaks down: - Why he is building his own tool to kill the $1,000-a-month software he was paying for - His personal AI operating system: the local agents that run his brand deals, content, and research - How to build bulletproof skills, and why an agent is really just a stack of skills - Open source vs closed source, US vs Chinese models, and when to use the cheap one over the best one - The real math behind a one-person, million-dollar business (1,000 people paying $100) - How to make your first $1,000 with AI, and why distribution is the one thing that still needs a human If you have ever felt locked out of the AI conversation, this episode is the door in.

    People Are Getting Rich Off Women Who Don't Exist

    Sesh grew up in Philly with no roadmap. He had a bachelor's degree, the highest grades in his school, and a list of accolades, but he watched his friends settle into a life of pity, distraction, and dead-end work. He wanted more. So he packed up everything, drove three days across America, slept in a car, then on the floor of his brother's shed in California. He set one goal: become the highest-paid private chef in the state. He hit it. Then COVID happened, he made a video about the stock market, and it went viral. He's been riding the wave ever since. Today Sesh is the self-styled A.I Prince. Over 125 million views on YouTube. Half a million followers on Instagram. Half a million subscribers on YouTube. He's a rapper, a #1 Yelp-ranked chef, an AI educator, and the GOAT of making money online. His message? Escape the matrix through mindset, manifesting, and AI. In this episode, Sesh breaks down: – His full journey from sleeping on a shed floor to becoming the A.I Prince – The perfect prompt — characters, scene, lighting, vibe — and the Higgsfield workflow that runs his content – How he and his team are building AI influencers, what they monetise, and where the market is going – The 2000-day meditation streak, manifesting without the tarot cards, and how he engineers his subconscious daily – Why he believes anyone ignoring AI right now will be "cooked in 12 months" If you've ever felt locked out of the AI conversation, this episode is the door in.

    How Stanley Productized 6.5 Years of Agency Knowledge Into a $200K/Month AI Business

    Stanley Henry built a 7-figure marketing agency on one rule: never pay for ads. Everything organic. 1.2 billion views. After 7 years of building that agency, he discovered AI and he burned the rulebook. In 30 days, he made $200,000 using Claude AI. He's now spending $3,500/day on Meta ads. He shut down parts of his agency, cut his team from 40 to 18, and replaced 11 project managers with AI. His message to business owners? Fire your marketing agency. Build with AI instead. In this episode, Stanley breaks down: – The exact AI system running his entire business (he calls it "Kevin") – How he productized 6.5 years of agency knowledge into digital products – Why he records every conversation and feeds it to Claude – The 50-60 "skills" that replaced an entire ops team – His Meta ads playbook (3:1 ROAS, scaling to the US and UK) – The "easily repeatable content series" formula behind viral growth – Why he tells AI to treat him like the stupidest person alive – How one time-lapse video made him $60K in a single month – The 4-brand distribution system (personal, company, employee, newsletter) – Why service businesses shouldn't run ads (but product businesses should) If you're a business owner sitting on years of knowledge wondering how to leverage AI, this episode is your playbook. CHAPTERS 00:00 The $200K month using Claude 03:15 Productizing 6.5 years of agency knowledge 05:00 The viral content formula (it's annoyingly simple) 11:00 Closing the studio, rebuilding with AI 17:00 Inside Stanley's AI operating system ("Kevin") 22:00 Where boomer business owners should start 28:00 Why you don't need to be technical 33:00 The AI slop debate (and the $7,500 typo carousel) 38:00 Distributing across LinkedIn, IG, TikTok, YouTube 43:00 F*ck/Marry/Kill: Social Platforms 48:00 Why he's now spending $3,500/day on Meta ads 57:00 Starting from zero in 2026 01:04:00 What AI should never take away 🔗 Follow Stanley:   / stanleychenry    / stanleychenry  https://www.attnseeker.com/ 🔗 Follow Keira:   / realmissai    / keira-nesdale-b287899b  https://www.aiconsultancy.co.nz/ 🔗 Subscribe for more conversations like this:    / @realmissai  #ai #artificialintelligence #podcast #entrepreneurship #startup #claude #anthropic #multiagentsystems #agenticai #mindsetshift #businessautomation #businessgrowth

    He Refused the World's Biggest Photo Prize Because He Made It With AI

    Boris Eldagsen has spent 25 years studying at the world's most prestigious art academies, photography in Mainz, conceptual art in Prague, fine art in India, philosophy at Cologne and Mainz. In April 2023, he won the Sony World Photography Award with an AI-generated image. Then on stage in London, he refused the prize. Today he's a Creative Partner of OpenAI, Runway, Higgsfield, Dreamina, and Hailuo. He advocates for the word "promptography." His message? AI doesn't suffer. AI can rant, but it can't bleed. The difference between human art and AI generation comes down to one thing, mortality. In this episode, Boris breaks down: – Why he refused the world's biggest photography prize (and why Sony's silence forced his hand) – The word "promptography" and why AI images are not photography – His full workflow for the Francis Bacon AI Art Rant (20 steps, 7 tools, 6 weeks) – Why he uses AI to attack AI in his installation "This Is Not Art" – The four levels of how art affects us — and why authenticity is overrated – His honest take on whether AI is unfairly exploiting the work of human creators If you're an artist, photographer, or creative wondering where you fit in the AI revolution, this episode is for you. CHAPTERS [00:00] The refusal that stopped the world [04:00] Why AI is forcing us to define what's human [07:00] How much of "The Electrician" was AI vs 25 years of being a photographer [10:00] Where Boris draws the line between AI generation and art [13:40] Promptography and why the world needed a new word [14:45] Mortality, suffering, and what AI can never have [17:30] The four stages of how art affects us (and why authenticity is a myth) [23:50] Should AI-generated work be labelled?

    The Google Whistleblower

    What happens when an ex-Google Executive Coach, elite athlete, and AI entrepreneur sits down to talk about the one thing most people get wrong about AI? AK Ikwuakor spent years inside Google coaching sales teams through the launch of Bard - right as ChatGPT was reshaping the world. He watched the anxiety unfold in real time. And he came away with a conclusion that might surprise you: the AI race is not a tech problem. It's a human behaviour problem. In this episode we get into: What it was really like inside Google when ChatGPT launched Why 95% of AI companies are not making money How your social media feed is the most dangerous algorithm on the planet Why task-oriented thinking is what gets replaced - not you The shift from high performer to "aligned performer" Why slowing down is the ultimate AI strategy Human connection as the one thing AI should never replace AK is the founder of LeadLyft and The Next Right Move Consulting, a former three-time All-American athlete at the University of Oregon, and someone who has coached over 40,000 people across 30 countries. He also did a five-day darkness retreat in Mexico. You'll want to hear that story. This one goes deep.

    How to Build AI Agents That Make Money While You Sleep

    Chase Haynes is an American creative tech founder running Blok Blok Studio out of Berlin, and for the past 44 days he has been publicly documenting his journey to $10,000 a month using Claude and OpenClaw.  In this episode we go deep on what it actually looks like to build a multi-agent system from scratch, how Chase set up his AI agent Cortana, why he structured his whole business around an agent hierarchy, and what the real difference is between Claude and OpenClaw.  We also get into skills versus tools, cron jobs, email warmups, lead scrapers, GitHub boilerplates, voice agents, context windows, compute costs, and why Chase thinks the biggest mistake people make is building agents without a structure. If you have been curious about AI agents but did not know where to start, this is the episode for you. ** In this episode we get into: What Claude actually is versus what OpenClaw actually is and why people keep confusing them How Chase structured his entire agency as an agent hierarchy with a COO, department heads and sub-agents all working while he sleeps The difference between a skill and a tool and why getting this wrong costs you time and money Why your context window is quietly draining your compute budget and what to do about it Why being a little bit delusional is actually a requirement for hitting big goals ** Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:33 Chase's Backstory 06:43 Claude vs OpenClaw 10:30 Meet Cortana 18:00 Skills vs Tools 23:00 Sub-Agent Team Setup 25:00 Working While You Sleep 31:25 AI Voice Agents 43:23 Where to Start 01:04:30 The $10K Roadmap ** Find Chase: Instagram:   / haynes2va  LinkedIn:   / chase-haynes  Studio: www.blokblokstudio.com/call Find Miss AI: Website: https://www.realmissai.com/ Instagram:   / realmissai  LinkedIn:   / keira-nesdale-b287899b  TikTok:   / keiranesdale  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QIuSAR...
