Everyone's seen the slick AI demo on Twitter. Almost nobody is getting ROI from it. I'll break down why most AI rollouts stall, what separates the businesses actually making money from automation, and the practical playbook for going from demo to production without setting fire to your stack.
For SMB and business audiences. Most owners are stuck buying tool after tool, hoping the next one finally connects the dots. I'll explain why the problem isn't software, it's strategy, and how to architect a single system that actually moves the needle.
For overworked SMB founders. I'll share the exact playbook I use to combine AI automations with trained offshore talent to handle 80% of daily operations, so you can stop working in the business and start working on it.
Answering helpdesk tickets is a race to the bottom. I'll explain why proactive retention beats reactive support every single time. I'll show your listeners how to use simple data triggers to spot churn before the client even knows they're unhappy, and how to build a support system that actually adds value instead of just putting out fires.
The reality of building a global team that doesn't ghost you. I've placed hundreds of VAs and managed massive offshore teams. I'll tell your audience exactly why their Upwork hires keep failing, and the exact management structure they need to build a team that actually understands their business and drives scale.
Why most agencies are automating themselves out of sales. I'll break down the difference between using automation to facilitate a conversation and using it to replace one. We'll cover the exact hybrid sales model that took us from zero to scale, and why the human touch at the bottom of the funnel is more important than ever.
The messy, unfiltered story of my agency journey. How I went from working 80-hour weeks putting out fires, to finally building systems that worked without me, to actually exiting the business. If your audience wants the real, unvarnished truth about what it takes to stop being a glorified freelancer and build an asset you can actually sell, this is it. No guru fluff, just the scars and the playbook.
I run multiple businesses, a SaaS product, a daily content pipeline, and a team — all from a 60-foot narrowboat on the English canals. The secret isn't working harder. It's building an AI coworker that handles your operations autonomously. I'll show your audience the exact system: how to give AI memory, automation, integrations, and direction so it works like a team member, not a chatbot. Live demo included.

I'm an AI Ops consultant and 14x GoHighLevel Certified Admin. I built and sold a digital agency, built SalesM8, and wrote "You're Selling AI Wrong". I don't talk about "game-changing synergies" or "empowering thought leaders." I talk about maths, margins, and the actual day-to-day reality of running a profitable agency. If you want a guest who brings real stories, hard numbers, and actionable frameworks, I'm your bloke.
