Thanks, in advance. WHO AM I? Founded and after 12M+ downloads, sold The Art of Online Business podcast in 2023. Founder of The AI Playbook community and The AI Playbook newsletter. I started my online business 12 years ago and for the last decade I’ve been helping online businesses grow and scale while working fewer hours. Ever since ChatGPT went mainstream I’ve been obsessed with learning, implementing, and teaching AI to online businesses so you can boost productivity and make more money. On this channel, I simplify AI and share everything I know, (and am learning along the way), about how you can leverage AI to work less and profit more.
