The short version
I got into AI before it was a trending topic. Before ChatGPT went viral, before every influencer started posting about it, and long before "AI side hustle" became a phrase people said without irony. I was already building with it, testing business models around it, and figuring out what actually makes money versus what just looks impressive in a demo.
Over 7+ years, I've built 12+ AI-driven businesses and side hustles. Some worked. Some didn't. But every single one taught me something I couldn't have learned from a YouTube video or a Twitter thread.
What I've actually built
I don't just talk about AI. I use it every day, at a scale most people don't think about.
I've hosted in-person AI events with senior employees from large global companies. I've built websites and funnels that have helped businesses break their own sales records. On the side, I sell websites to small businesses that completely transform their brand, and it takes me a couple of hours.
The expensive lessons
I've also spent over $50,000 on AI tools, courses, credits, and experimentation. I've burned through hundreds in credits on a single project that went nowhere. I've built products nobody wanted. I've wasted weeks going down the wrong path because nobody told me which paths were dead ends.
Every one of those mistakes is a lesson I've put into The $1K AI Playbook so you don't have to pay the same price I did.
Why I made this playbook
I created The $1K AI Playbook because I got tired of seeing the same pattern play out. Someone discovers AI, gets excited, watches a dozen videos, maybe tries a tool or two, and then... nothing. They don't make any money. They don't build anything real. They just consume more content and stay stuck.
The problem isn't the tools. The problem is that nobody is showing the actual steps. Most "AI education" content is designed to sell you a subscription to a tool the creator gets paid to promote. That's not teaching. That's marketing.
This playbook is different because I don't promote any tools. I just show you what I did, step by step, to make real money with AI. And I show you how to do the same.
