I sat down with Jon Cheney again and we went deeper on how he actually finds customers after building AI products. We talked about how he turned a simple local news pitch into hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential deals, why good storytelling matters more than bragging, and how to make your business interesting enough for media to cover. Jon also broke down how press releases, social media, and building in public helped him grow his AI business. Finally, we talked about getting over the fear of putting yourself out there, posting consistently, and taking asymmetric bets that can change your business forever.

I sat down with Phil and we talked about how he started an AI automation agency with no coding background and landed a $50,000 consulting contract by simply starting with people he already knew. He shares how he first built voice agents in GoHighLevel, then used Claude to help create proposals, pricing, contracts, and client solutions. We also talked about his work with a chiropractor, where he built automations and content systems for a new laser treatment offer, plus a grant writing tool for a nonprofit. The big takeaway from this one is that you do not need to know everything before you start. You just need to talk to business owners, listen for pain points, and use AI to help solve real problems.

I sat down with Brandon Doyle again and we tested what happens when an AI agent tries to build real businesses from scratch. Brandon showed me how he uses OpenClaw through iMessage, then we talked through a few business ideas an agent could launch, including custom bedtime stories, website outreach for local businesses, and Facebook Marketplace arbitrage. A month later, Brandon came back with real results. His bedtime story business got over $300/month in MRR, but the big win was using an AI agent to build websites for local businesses, send them postcards with QR codes, and turn that into a little over $8,000/month in recurring revenue. You can find Brandon on X at https://x.com/Brandondoyle and learn more about his company at https://getdavid.ai/.

I sat down with Jon and Lucas from Resale University and we talked about how they built a reselling business by flipping overlooked electronics like VCRs, digital cameras, camcorders, Dell docking stations, and TI calculators. They shared how they started by selling stuff around the house, then moved into thrift stores, yard sales, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and eventually bulk electronics suppliers. We also broke down their first big deal, where they bought around $5,000 worth of electronics and made a few thousand dollars in profit with only about 15 hours of work. Finally, we talked about the simple playbook anyone can use to start reselling, even with just a few hours a week.

In this solo episode I?m breaking down one of my favorite business ideas right now: API arbitrage and the great unbundling. I talk about how huge companies were built by unbundling parts of Craigslist, and why the same thing is happening today with tools like Apify, Clay, Zapier, OpenAI, and Claude. I share the story of Nico, who went from working in his family?s restaurant to building a software business doing $3,500/month in recurring revenue with almost no technical background. Then I walk through a bunch of simple business ideas anyone can build by wrapping existing tools in a cleaner, easier product.

I sat down with Colin Stroud, founder of Go Somewhere, and we talked about how he built a business helping business owners get way more value out of the credit card points they?re already earning. Colin broke down how he charges $875 for a consulting call, made $231,000 in his first full year, and gets most of his clients from LinkedIn. We also talked about why most people use points the wrong way, how business owners can earn more from their existing spending, and why ?earn and burn? is usually better than hoarding points forever.

Ryan breaks down what a Claude skill actually is, why it?s basically an SOP for AI, and how he launched a Claude Code Skill Stack that made over $3,000 in 30 to 45 days. We also talked about how anyone can turn their own knowledge into sellable AI skills, whether it?s for marketing, SEO, YouTube, gardening, trading cards, or almost anything else. Ryan also showed how he uses Claude Code to turn YouTube videos into SEO blog posts, build landing pages, create a personal marketing OS, and run workflows across tools like Stripe, WordPress, Appify, Google Calendar.

I sat down with Natalie Rosario to talk about how she makes money through government contracting without doing the actual work herself. She explained how she finds contracts on SAM.gov, gets quotes from subcontractors, marks up the price, and keeps the profit. We talked about her first hazardous waste contract, a catering contract that made her $11,000 in two weeks, and a $962,000 landscaping contract where she used past pricing data to understand the opportunity. Natalie also broke down how beginners can start with an LLC, use AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to understand proposals, and search past government spending on USAspending.gov. We also covered why reliable subcontractors matter, why many people quit too early, and how one contract can create steady income for years.

I sat down with Marc Hyman and we talked about how he built a simple iced coffee cart business using a gutted Home Depot tool cart instead of an expensive coffee truck or espresso machine. Marc broke down why cold coffee, nitro coffee, and simple event setups can be such a profitable ?business in a box.? We talked through the numbers, including how a cup costs around $3 to make, sells for around $8.50, and how his best event cleared about $8,000 in net profit over two days. We also got into the best locations for this type of business, including festivals, farmers markets, car washes, gas stations, and other overlooked spots with built-in foot traffic.

I sat down with Kyle, also known as the Website Landlord, and we talked about one of the most interesting low-overhead online business models I?ve seen in a while. Kyle explained how he builds simple local SEO websites for niches like junk removal, auto glass repair, and epoxy flooring, ranks them on Google, and then rents the leads out to local businesses for recurring monthly income. We talked about why these sites don?t need to look pretty, how he got his first client to wire him $6,000 within 20 minutes, and how he eventually scaled this into a business doing around $100k/month with very low overhead. We also got into lifestyle businesses, time freedom, passive income, and why Kyle intentionally keeps the business simple instead of chasing massive growth.

I sat down with William Lindholm, who built a wild new business around cold caking, sending cakes to prospects to book sales meetings. We talked about how he started with birthday cake automation in Norway, moved to San Francisco, pivoted into outbound sales, and hit $120,000 in monthly revenue just weeks after the pivot. William broke down why physical gifts cut through better than cold calls, emails, and DMs, especially as AI makes online outreach noisier. We also talked about using cakes for agencies, real estate, accounting, customer retention, and how he uses AI agents to source and negotiate with bakeries.

I sat down with Michael McCoy, co-founder of Prepa Pizza, to talk about how he turned a simple pizza dough kit into a multi-million dollar business. He started by making the kits in his basement with his wife and selling them at local farmers markets, where he did around $60,000 in one summer working part-time. We also talked about how he took the business online, scaled with Facebook ads, hit over $160,000 in a single month, and why farmers markets are one of the best places to test simple product ideas.

I sat down with Brett Williams from DesignJoy and we talked about how he built a one man productized service business that grew into a massive cash-flow machine. He broke down how he launched with no audience, made around $10,000 on day one, kept his full-time job until the business was doing $80,000 a month, and eventually grew it to peaks of $200,000 a month with almost no overhead. We also talked about what makes productized services so powerful, why design and branding matter even more in the age of AI, and what kinds of agencies people can start right now using skills like copywriting, short form editing, thumbnail design, and AI-first development. Brett also shared his favorite AI tools, his best prompting advice, and why speed and simplicity are winning more than ever.

I sat down with Corey Ganim and we broke down a simple but really smart service business built around AI assessments for small businesses. We talked through how he went from a friend offering to pay $1,000 for AI help to turning that into a repeatable offer using a voice agent, Claude, and a clean client report. We got into how the assessment works, what kinds of AI tools and simple software get recommended, and why the real money often comes from the upsell after the initial audit. Corey also shared practical ways to get your first customers, including local meetups, office hours, free assessments, and even door knocking. Finally, we talked about why you do not need to be a real AI expert to sell this, you just need to be a little ahead of the average client. You can find Corey through his Build With AI podcast on YouTube and podcast platforms.

This guy turned $90 into $50K in a year selling ad space on postcards that get mailed to thousands of homes. He finds local businesses in Facebook groups, closes 95% of his deals over text ? one plumber paid him $1,100 in five messages. No cold calls, no Zoom, no employees, no ads. He just connects local businesses to local homeowners through the mail and pockets $4?5K profit per run. He even showed me the exact Facebook post he uses and the trick that gets business owners to DM him first. This one blew my mind.

The Most Overlooked Way to Make Money with AI (+10 More Ideas) - Chat with Michael Girdley | Ep. #181

https://open.spotify.com/episode/67kATaWJ935Ec4O3oViPWN?si=WehmyjUfTeiAnLbk0xX0kA


Michael Girdley is back and we went even harder this time. I sent his ideas to my newsletter, you guys voted, and we only talked about the best ones.


We got into AI persona marketplaces, a MasterClass killer where you actually talk to Steve Jobs, the return of local journalism, an app that yells at you for getting distracted, negotiating 70% off college tuition, and why AI audits might be the best business any of you can start right now. One idea was so good I started building it in Claude while we were still recording.


Find Michael on X at https://x.com/girdley or at https://girdley.com. He's also launching Bedrock (https://girdley.com/bedrock) for quality of earnings if you're buying a business, and https://www.fixedlabs.ai/ for AI audits.

In this episode, I talk with Matt Howe, a former high school math teacher who started flipping items on Facebook Marketplace to make extra money and eventually built a full equipment dealership. Matt shares how he went from making around $40K as a teacher to flipping lawn mowers for quick profits, earning $20K to $30K in one summer and eventually scaling the operation by hiring drivers, working with a mechanic, and sourcing underpriced equipment from dealers who didn?t want to deal with used inventory. Over time, the side hustle turned into a real dealership doing over $1.1M in a single month in sales. We break down how he finds deals, negotiates prices, scales the operation, and why buying low and moving inventory quickly matters more than fixing things.

I sat down with David Stillson to talk about the world of small rental businesses and how he?s built a few of them on the side. We started with his moving tote rental business, where he buys industrial totes in bulk and rents them to people who are moving, often through partnerships with realtors who gift the rentals to their clients.

We also talked about his RV rental business, where he bought a travel trailer, listed it on platforms like Outdoorsy and RVshare, and validated the idea with about $7,000 in revenue in the first season. Finally, we touched on his small podcast and music studio rental, which started as a hobby but now occasionally generates income.

I sat down with Sariah Howell, the founder of Memory Magnets Co, and her story is wild. What started as a small idea to print more family photos turned into a business making custom photo magnets that completely took off.

She began with a $700 machine, started selling magnets at local markets, and eventually discovered a huge opportunity doing live magnet printing at weddings and events. From there the business exploded, reaching $1.63M in revenue in its first full year.



We talked about how the business works, how she gets customers, and why this simple product can be such a powerful side hustle.

The Most Overlooked Way to Get Rich (Proven Blueprint)?Ep. #279

Here are three very specific ways of getting rich with low cost franchising.

Explore any of these franchises here: ??https://go.franzy.com/chris-koerner??

I sat down with Alex Smereczniak from Franzy to talk about why franchising might be the most overlooked path to wealth creation in America. We broke down how to think about risk tolerance and brand maturity, why some franchise models command higher exit multiples, and what I should have done when I first spotted Planet Fitness as a wide open opportunity years ago. Then Alex shared a few franchise concepts he?s excited about right now, including an insurance adjusting model, a home sale prep and light renovation business, and a surprisingly massive window box subscription business. We also hit a couple wild cards like artificial turf and Airbnb cleaning, plus how people use SBA loans to finance deals like this. If you want to explore franchises with a tool that matches you to the right concept, check out the links below.

?



HoldCo Bros are back! In this episode, I bring Nik Hulewsky back on and we basically try to dunk on that whole AI Twitter doom loop of ?what are you building? while everyone screams about agents and AGI. Nick explains why we?re still early, why most people have barely touched AI, and why the real advantage right now is building skills and staying ready to pounce when the obvious use cases show up.

Then he shows me what he?s actually built, including his locally hosted OpenClaw setup he calls Gary, plus a few really practical workflows that make him look like a magician inside a normal company. We talk about the difference between clean and dirty data, why ?record your meetings? is the easiest unfair advantage, and how someone could turn this into real money through AI consulting, bootcamps, fractional roles, and building simple internal tools that save teams a ton of time. If you?ve wanted a simple, non confusing breakdown of agents, workflows, and how to monetize this stuff, this one is it.

In this episode, I sit down with Matt and Joni from Sonoma Strong Hauling to hear one of the most incredible comeback stories I?ve ever encountered. Matt opens up about his journey from prison and rehab to working a $15-an-hour job at Safeway, all while trying to restart his life at age 35.

We dive deep into the "candy dish" marketing strategy they used to win over realtors and how they turned a beat-up pickup truck into a business netting 35% margins on $50,000 a month. This conversation is a masterclass in how constraints equal creativity and why "closed mouths don't get fed" in the world of entrepreneurship.

Jim Rowe went from flipping a single $1,200 pallet to doing $60,000 in sales in his first month out of an old tow truck shop in rural Washington. In this episode, he breaks down how he buys liquidation pallets, restaurant equipment, and random auction finds, why selling matters more than buying, and how he rolls profits over and over to scale fast. He also shares wild flips like buying industrial hinges for $2.28 each and reselling them for $50 plus the mindset shift that helped him move from restaurants to reselling full time.

Follow Hannah: ?https://linktr.ee/hannahmakes?



In this episode, I?m sitting down with Hannah Gustafson, the founder of The Tiny Project, to discuss a business model that is as brilliant as it is approachable. Hannah left the corporate grind to start a "silly" front-yard stand that has since exploded into a snail mail subscription club with 4,100 members. We break down how she reached nearly $50,000 in monthly revenue in just six months with almost no upfront investment and zero paid advertising. Hannah proves that business doesn't need to be a high-tech headache because it is often just about a one-ounce envelope and the courage to start tiny. This story is the ultimate proof that an authentic, human-centered side hustle is absolutely doable for anyone.

In this episode, I break down how to buy big things with very little money and why constraints are actually your biggest advantage. I share real stories from my own life, from buying my first house as a broke college student to structuring deals for real estate, businesses, and assets without large down payments. We talk about creative deal structures like seller financing, balloon payments, graduated payments, lease to own setups, and why building trust with sellers matters more than having perfect credit or a pile of cash. The goal of this episode is simple. Stop thinking you need money to get started and start learning how to structure smarter deals instead.

Openclaw is BOOMING! Here?s How to Profit?Ep. #271

??IMPORTANT UPDATE??: This episode was recorded on Saturday during the initial viral surge of Moltbook. Since recording, several major security vulnerabilities have been reported, including potential API key leaks and prompt injection risks. I wasn't aware of these specific exploits at the time of filming, but they definitely reinforce my warning in the video to be careful with permissions.

Moltbook News
https://moltbooknews.com

A brand new platform called Moltbook is going viral fast. It?s basically Reddit, but instead of humans posting, it?s AI agents talking to each other. In this episode, I break down what Moltbook actually is, why it?s exploding, and how I quickly built and launched a site around it using AI. We then zoom out into the bigger opportunity around AI agents, OpenClaw, and what it looks like to monetize this wave through services, tools, and consulting before it becomes mainstream.

This Business Makes Vending Machines Look Dumb?Ep. #270

?


I sat down with Forest Coughtry to break down one of the most underrated businesses I?ve seen in a long time. Forest moved to Montana knowing nobody, started a small wholesale snack distribution business, and quickly scaled it to $50K+ months with no employees and no vending machines. We walked through how he went from selling pastries in Colorado to building a high-margin jerky and candy route serving nearly 100 stores, why this model beats vending machines, and how simple relationship-based selling can outperform ?passive? side hustles. Forest shares real numbers, startup costs, margins, and exactly how he lands accounts without contracts or cold email. This is one of those businesses that?s hiding in plain sight.


You can find Forest Coughtry on YouTube at Coughtry Wholesale, where he documents building and scaling his distribution business step by step.

I make $10k?$35k profit per month on Facebook by reposting content that isn't mine. It?s legal, ethical, and takes me just 3 hours a week.



In this video, I?m showing you the exact "fair use" strategy I use to monetize viral clips without filming original content. I?ll share my screen and walk you through the entire process?from sourcing videos to the "comment hack" that drives me over 500 email subscribers every single day.

In this episode, I sat down with Danny to break down how he built an AI voice agent for his barber that turned missed calls into booked appointments and grew into a real business charging upfront fees plus monthly retainers. We talked about why barbers and local service businesses are a perfect niche, how easy these agents are to demo and sell, and why this feels like an early window similar to Yelp or Google Business Profiles.

I sat down with Tim to break down how he took a simple idea he saw online and turned it into a real-world business making thousands at fairs and events. We talked about how he started with a mobile RC construction trailer, charging by the minute, why lowering prices actually doubled demand, and how he broke even on roughly $10?11K in startup costs. Tim shared real numbers from events, including his best week doing around $2,600, and explained how county fairs, private parties, and corporate events became his main revenue drivers.

His website is https://canudigitrc.com/ and you can reach him at [email protected].

We also dug into how he built custom session-tracking software with AI, why that made the business easier to run and scalable, and how he?s now opening a physical retail location with plans for memberships, higher capacity, and eventually franchising. This episode is a great look at how low-barrier, offline businesses can still work incredibly well when you validate demand first and keep things simple.

I sat down with Jameson to break down how he went from a high paying finance career to building a multi million dollar home services business from scratch. We talked about why testing ideas matters more than overthinking, how he validated demand before committing, and why simple high ticket services like deck building can be incredibly powerful when done right. Jameson also shared very tactical advice on branding, pricing, lead generation, and why speed to lead and social proof matter more than most people realize.

This story is absolutely wild. Kirk and his brother started their business, Junk Teens, when they were just 15 and 17 years old. They went from riding bicycles to the dump to find old speakers to buying a $75,000 dump truck with CASH.


We talk about how they managed high school while building a company , how they scaled from $120k to nearly $1 million/year, and why they don?t talk business at the Thanksgiving dinner table.


If you want to see what real hustle looks like, do not miss this one.

I sat down with Quinn Miller to catch up on how his vending machine business has grown and where he?s taking it next. We talked about why vending is such a strong cash flow business, how he finds and evaluates locations, and what he?s learned from scaling machines across apartments, offices, and hotels. We also got into pricing, product selection, and why sales and momentum matter more than most people think when you?re getting started. If you?re curious about vending or machine-based businesses in general, this one is packed with real-world insight.



You can find Quinn on Twitter at @QuinnJMiller - ?https://x.com/quinnjmiller?, and he also has a vending machine course for anyone who wants a deeper, more hands-on walkthrough of the business - https://linktr.ee/quinnjmiller

It?s a wrap on 2025. This is my annual deep dive where I break down everything: the businesses I started, the ones that failed, and exactly where I?m making money. I?m sharing specific net profit numbers across 7+ income streams, not just revenue. I also talk about why I finally killed the Secret Pickleball Club idea , the "return on headache" that led me to move on from other ventures , and my investment strategy for the year, from "NEFL" stocks to angel investing. Plus, a look at why I impulsively signed up for an ultra marathon with zero training

In this episode, I sat down with Korey McDavid, the founder of Juiced Fuel, to talk about how on demand gas delivery actually works as a real business. We get into why this plugs directly into everyday behavior, how repeat usage turns fuel into predictable revenue, and which customers really make the model work. Korey shares how he started this on the side, how the business compounds once people build the habit, and where it?s headed next. He?s now in his third year and on pace to do over $1 million this year, which makes this a great example of a straightforward business executed well.

In this episode, I talk about the parts of entrepreneurship that people rarely tell you about and why so many founders feel blindsided once they?re in it. I share a simple GRIT framework I?ve developed after years of building and breaking businesses, and why understanding these challenges upfront matters more than chasing upside.

We get into the emotional swings, the hidden costs, and why progress often feels slower than expected. I also walk through practical mindset shifts that help you stay steady, focused, and moving forward when things get uncomfortable. This episode is about seeing the full picture before you decide if this path is really for you.

40 Genius Ways of Making Thousands from Unwanted Land?Ep. #258

In this episode, I walk through dozens of real, practical ways to turn unwanted land into cash flow. I talk about how land that looks ugly, rural, or overlooked can actually become a serious income engine if you think about it differently. From renting out raw land for camping, parking equipment, or RVs, to placing sheds, tiny homes, or storage containers, I break down how people are making money without overcomplicating things.

I also share ideas around subdividing land, master leases, portable self storage, tree farms, firewood, pallet businesses, sheds, sports courts, and even some weird but surprisingly profitable niches most people never consider. The big theme of this episode is optionality. Once you own land, especially land no one else wants, you suddenly unlock dozens of ways to monetize it.

The goal here is to show that you do not need perfect property, massive capital, or years of experience to get started. You just need ideas, creativity, and the willingness to look at unwanted land as an opportunity instead of a problem.

Enjoy!

I sat down with Mindi Reinke and we walked through one of the simplest, lowest risk reselling businesses I?ve seen in a long time. She shared how she bought pallets of school books for $1, which is what she usually pays, used eBay and ChatGPT to sort and list the inventory, and turned that into roughly $5,000 in revenue. We talked about why curriculum is the real money maker, how book arbitrage actually works, and why this is a business almost anyone can start with just a phone and very little upfront cost.

I sat down with Will Cannon again and we talked about how he went from scraping and selling lead lists to building multiple million-dollar SaaS businesses. We covered his early background, losing everything in 2008, and how that pushed him into B2B data, cold email, and eventually software.

We broke down how he built a profitable lead-selling agency with almost no upfront costs, why recurring revenue changed everything, and how UpLead got its first customers. Will also shared how he thinks about copying existing businesses, acquiring customers before building, and why you do not need to be technical to make this work.


Will shares his free playbooks and his socials at ?IAmWillCannon.com?
