    How I Use AI Agents Inside a $15M Company

    AI tools for founders can save weeks of wasted work, but only if you build your AI stack in the right order. In this episode, Mark breaks down the exact AI stack he uses inside a $15M real estate business, including Perplexity, Manus, Claude, Claude Code, CoWork, and OpenClaw. This is not a “what’s trending” AI tools list. It is a practical founder roadmap for using AI agents to build systems, scale operations, manage change, and create leverage across a real business with real customers, real pressure, and real revenue targets. Mark explains why most founders start with the wrong AI tool, how to choose between cloud agents and local agents, and why Claude has become the core operating layer behind his property concierge model. If you are a founder, operator, entrepreneur, or business owner trying to use AI to save time, build systems, and scale smarter, this episode gives you the order to start in: week one, month one, month three, and month six. 0:54 — Slot 1: Cloud Agents — Perplexity vs Manus 2:18 — Slot 2: Claude, Claude Code & CoWork Explained 5:54 — The One AI Setup Mark Recommends This Quarter 6:23 — Slot 3: OpenFloor, Local Agents & Security Trade-Offs 6:59 — The AI Rollout Pathway: Week 1 to Month 6 Follow Mark Kentwell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mark_kentwell/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mark_kentwell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkentwell1/ Mark’s Businesses: Presence Real Estate: https://presence.realestate/ Nexr: https://nexr.com.au/

    Global real estate coach Josh Phegan joins FlowZone this week to unpack the future of real estate, personal branding, buyer’s agents, AI, Dubai’s 2040 vision, and why human connection is fast becoming the ultimate competitive edge.

    My AI Crash Course For Business Owners (Actually Get Sh** Done)

    Most founders using AI daily are still stuck at Level 1 — and don't even know it. In this episode, I break down the exact crash course I gave a $100M real estate founder who uses Claude every day but couldn't explain how AI was actually working in his business. The gap between using AI and getting real value from it is massive, and the three questions are the map out of it. Plus, I share the one question the founder didn't ask - but every serious founder needs to hear. This isn't theory. This is what AI looks like inside a real business that's actually using it. If you're a founder, senior leader, or business owner trying to figure out where to start with AI, this is your starting point. 0:45 — The 3 Levels of AI — Chat, Automation & Agentic Explained 3:05 — The Exact Tool Stack — Claude, Grok & Perplexity — When to Use Each 5:12 — Best Agents to Start With — Manus, Perplexity Computer & Claude Cowork 5:54 — Real Example #1 — Full Presentation Built in 4 Minutes With Cowork 6:19 — Real Example #2 — Live Client Research in 60 Seconds (+ Free Prompt Offer) 7:11 — Real Example #3 — The Buyer Database That Replaces $20K in Marketing 8:14 — The Bonus Question — How Much Time You Actually Need to Invest Each Week 9:41 — Your First Move Tomorrow — One Project, 30 Minutes, Level 1 Done Follow Mark Kentwell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mark_kentwell/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mark_kentwell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkentwell1/ Mark’s Businesses: Presence Real Estate: https://presence.realestate/ Nexr: https://nexr.com.au/

    Survive or Collapse: The Crisis Decision Every Entrepreneur Will Face

    Igor Vainshtein has started 20 businesses — 18 of them failed. But out of those failures came a sold company, a globally scaling golf tech app, and a move to the US to build something big. In this episode of Flow Zone, Igor sits down with Mark to break down the real cost of entrepreneurship: the $5M business lost overnight on New Year's Eve, getting wiped out by Lehman Brothers, having a Google ad account wrongly suspended during peak season, and what each of those moments actually taught him. From how AI and personal brand are reshaping what's possible for founders, to why Igor is betting everything on the US market again — and what happened the last time he made that move — this is one of the most honest conversations about failure, resilience, and building for the long game you'll hear all year. 3:31 The $5M Business Lost on New Year's Eve — Betrayal by His Own Partners 7:43 How He Stopped the Bleed — Then Got Hit by Lehman Brothers 11:30 The Golf Simulator Business That Led to a US Public Company Acquisition 18:50 Moving to the US to Scale — and How Google's AI Algorithm Nearly Destroyed Him 22:20 Why He Sold — and the Deal Structure He Used to Stay in on the Upside 24:50 Golf Track: Using AI + Computer Vision to Disrupt a $20K Hardware Market 31:10 Personal Brand as a Flywheel — Why It's Non-Negotiable for Founders 38:45 Australia vs US: The Honest Truth About Scaling Globally 48:17 Entrepreneur — The Board Game That Teaches Resilience Through Play 53:09 Rapid Fire: How Much Time Founders REALLY Need to Spend on AI and Personal Brand 55:22 Igor's Definition of Failure — and the Only One That Actually Counts Follow Mark Kentwell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mark_kentwell/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mark_kentwell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkentwell1/ Mark’s Businesses: Presence Real Estate: https://presence.realestate/ Nexr: https://nexr.com.au/
