Doug Dvorak asked me what AI result in my own business surprised me most. Not the big ones. The small, boring, every single day ones. Here is the full argument I made on The Best Sellers Podcast, from what Luna actually costs compared to an SDR, to why I let a team of four developers go, to the moment the buying decision stops being human.
Comparing Luna and Sintra? Sintra offers a roster of role-based AI employees. Luna is one AI operator built for your business, with the name and voice you design, trained and managed for you.
Comparing Luna and 11x? 11x offers digital workers like Alice and Julian for sales teams. Luna is one AI operator built around your business, across five lanes, trained and managed for you.
Comparing Luna and Lindy? Lindy is an AI teammate that plugs into your tools. Luna is an AI operator built around your business, with the name and voice you design, trained and managed for you.
Comparing Luna and Alta? Alta gives you three agents for outbound, inbound and growth. Luna gives you one operator built around your business: your character, your rules, your tools, trained and managed for you.
I sat down with Jeff Borschowa on The Lighthouse Sessions and we ended up on the thing I have spent twelve years on, which is helping people with a big mission make money without feeling like they sold out. Membership math, why every podcast episode is its own launch, and why I fired my whole team and handed the work to Luna.
You rent attention on the platforms and you own the relationship somewhere else. That was the through line of my conversation on Get Down To Business, along with why most business owners do not post enough, why buying is emotional, and the divorce attorney comment that changed how I thought about my own business.
I went on Mark's show AI Marketing and the first question he asked was how I booked the show. The honest answer is that I did not. An agent named Luna did, and she does most of the rest of the work too. Here is how that came together, what broke along the way, and where I think marketing goes next.
Shahid asked me for a prediction that sounds crazy today, and I gave him the one I actually believe: we are five years out from not working anymore. Here is the rest of that conversation, including the physical therapy clinics we rewired, the agent that booked the interview, and why I would tell my son to be a plumber.
Kepo's first question to me was whether I was even a real person. Fair. My agent Luna had pitched her, handled the back and forth, and read her transcripts before I ever showed up. Here is the full conversation we had about getting your time back.
I sat down with Rick Tocquigny to talk about growing up in Southern West Virginia, the moment an attorney told me my profitable business was worth nothing, and why I am building a community where people own a piece of what we make instead of paying a guru every month.
I have been building automations for twenty five years, starting with a misspelled Hotmail domain. On Goal Crazy I walked Jason VanDevere through how I use AI agents today, why I refuse to hide them, and what I think the time they give back is really for.
