WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.439
So imagine this for a second. You build a service

00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.660
business, an agency, and it's consistently netting

00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:09.240
you, let's say, $35 ,000 a month. That's the

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.240
dream, right? For pretty much any founder, that's

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.640
high six -figure stability. Right. But here's

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:15.560
the part from the sources that really got me.

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:19.760
Achieving that, but spending zero dollars. Zero.

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.859
On marketing, on ads, on any of that endless

00:00:23.859 --> 00:00:26.899
cold outreach. Yeah, and this isn't some get

00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:28.960
-rich -quick thing. It's a very specific strategy.

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.259
It's about working smart by leveraging the success

00:00:33.259 --> 00:00:35.619
that other companies are already having. Welcome

00:00:35.619 --> 00:00:38.740
to the Deep Dive. Today, our mission is to really

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:41.520
unpack this blueprint for what the sources call

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.719
a partner -led AI business. It's a model designed

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.039
to flip that old agency script completely on

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.960
its head. And we're going to focus on the single

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.039
biggest reason most agencies just fail. or at

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:53.619
least stay really small, and that's high cack.

00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:55.200
High cack. Okay, let's nail that down right away.

00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.619
What is high cack in, like, plain English? High

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:00.899
cack just means spending a ton of money to convince

00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:04.519
one customer to sign up. A simple but painful

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.700
definition. It's like paying for an expensive

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:09.420
first date and then getting ghosted. Yeah, that

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:11.920
sounds about right. Yeah. So, here's the plan.

00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:14.620
First, we're gonna look at why that old model

00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:18.390
is so broken. Then we'll walk through this smooth

00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:21.870
lead flow that gets you to that $0 customer cost.

00:01:22.370 --> 00:01:25.290
After that, how to structure your offers. And

00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:27.790
finally, the actual playbook for becoming that

00:01:27.790 --> 00:01:30.269
number one expert that big software platforms

00:01:30.269 --> 00:01:33.129
send all their business to. OK, so let's start

00:01:33.129 --> 00:01:35.849
with that broken model. The sources point out

00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:39.129
this brutal reality for a traditional agency

00:01:39.129 --> 00:01:41.629
owner. You spend something like 70 % of your

00:01:41.629 --> 00:01:45.180
day just being a salesman. A desperate salesman.

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:47.219
And only 30 % of your time doing the thing you

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:50.099
actually love, which is building solutions. It's

00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:52.379
totally soul -crushing. And it's so expensive

00:01:52.379 --> 00:01:54.200
in ways people don't even think about. It's not

00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.540
just the ad spend. No, it's the hours, right?

00:01:56.540 --> 00:01:58.459
Yeah. Writing emails that you know are just going

00:01:58.459 --> 00:02:01.280
to a spam folder. Exactly. Or sending those LinkedIn

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.359
messages that get ignored. You're constantly

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.680
paying Facebook or Google for clicks that, you

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.939
know, maybe convert, maybe don't. Every single

00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:11.620
hour you spend hunting is an hour you're not

00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:13.909
building. And that's what keeps the profit margin

00:02:13.909 --> 00:02:16.870
so low. It's a treadmill. This partner model,

00:02:16.889 --> 00:02:20.069
though, it flips that ratio. The goal is to spend

00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:23.189
90 % of your time building great things and maybe,

00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:25.849
what, 10 % on these super low stress calls. So

00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:28.490
what's the core idea? How does that actually

00:02:28.490 --> 00:02:31.990
work? The premise is actually really elegant.

00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:34.270
You find customers who are already sold. They're

00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:36.830
committed. But now they're stuck. Stuck how?

00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:40.289
They bought a really complex, powerful tool.

00:02:40.729 --> 00:02:43.169
Maybe it's an automation platform like Make or

00:02:43.169 --> 00:02:45.870
a voice AI like Vapi. They paid for it. They

00:02:45.870 --> 00:02:48.689
believe in it. But they have no idea how to connect

00:02:48.689 --> 00:02:51.830
it to their CRM, to their actual business. So

00:02:51.830 --> 00:02:53.909
the software company that sold it to them is

00:02:53.909 --> 00:02:56.349
also in a tough spot. Oh, they're stressed. Because

00:02:56.349 --> 00:02:58.610
if that customer fails, they're going to churn.

00:02:58.710 --> 00:03:00.930
They'll cancel their subscription. And that software

00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:03.090
company, they don't have a giant army of consultants.

00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.819
to hold every new user's hand. Exactly. And that's

00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:08.659
the gap. That's your entry point. You become

00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:11.960
the official partner. The software company sends

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.520
their stuck customer directly to you. Which means

00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.699
you get to skip the hardest part. You skip all

00:03:16.699 --> 00:03:19.379
of it. You get pre -sold leads, warm intros,

00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:21.900
instant trust, because you're borrowing the brand

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.379
name of the company they already paid. And that's

00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:26.759
how your marketing spend goes to zero. So beyond

00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.240
just the money you're saving on ads, what's the

00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.539
biggest emotional burden that this model gets

00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:34.539
rid of compared to all that cold outreach. It

00:03:34.539 --> 00:03:37.900
just removes the need for that constant exhausting

00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:40.000
self -persuasion. Let's talk about the math,

00:03:40.099 --> 00:03:41.759
because this is where it gets really compelling.

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.520
A traditional agency, you're lucky to see 40,

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:49.599
maybe 50 % profit margins after all your costs.

00:03:49.740 --> 00:03:51.879
If you're lucky, yeah. With this partner -led

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.599
model, the numbers are consistently hitting 80,

00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.460
even 85 % profit. That's a massive difference.

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.370
At 80%, Pretty much every dollar you bring in

00:04:00.370 --> 00:04:02.729
after a few small costs just goes right into

00:04:02.729 --> 00:04:05.090
your pocket. It's because you cut out the burn,

00:04:05.550 --> 00:04:08.509
the cost of persuasion. Your operating costs

00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:12.129
are just minimal. A few AI tool subscriptions,

00:04:12.389 --> 00:04:14.889
your electricity, maybe a contractor here and

00:04:14.889 --> 00:04:17.610
there. You're not funding a sales team. So let's

00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:19.949
trace that customer journey. The sources call

00:04:19.949 --> 00:04:22.389
it incredibly smooth. It all starts with what

00:04:22.389 --> 00:04:24.990
they call a voluntary commitment. The business

00:04:24.990 --> 00:04:26.930
owner, they've already paid for the AI tool.

00:04:27.069 --> 00:04:28.730
They've got skin in the game. You never have

00:04:28.730 --> 00:04:31.370
to have that conversation about why AI is important.

00:04:31.589 --> 00:04:33.449
They're already a believer. They're excited,

00:04:33.529 --> 00:04:36.509
but then they hit the friction point. Yeah. After

00:04:36.509 --> 00:04:39.009
a day or two, they realize connecting this thing

00:04:39.009 --> 00:04:42.709
to their real business, to their CRM or their

00:04:42.709 --> 00:04:45.449
database, is way harder than the promo video

00:04:45.449 --> 00:04:47.670
made it look. They have a Ferrari, but they don't

00:04:47.670 --> 00:04:49.410
know how to drive it. And that's when their need

00:04:49.410 --> 00:04:52.350
for an expert is at its absolute peak. Great.

00:04:52.509 --> 00:04:55.610
And even for experts, complex integrations are

00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:58.310
tough. I still wrestle with concepts like prompt

00:04:58.310 --> 00:05:00.089
drift myself when I'm trying to get different

00:05:00.089 --> 00:05:02.990
systems to communicate properly. It is not easy,

00:05:03.089 --> 00:05:05.310
even when you know what you're doing. That's

00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:07.490
a good point. So the user is frustrated. That's

00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:09.829
what leads to the referral. They go to the software

00:05:09.829 --> 00:05:12.629
support team and say, help, I'm stuck. And the

00:05:12.629 --> 00:05:14.610
support staff just sends them a link to your

00:05:14.610 --> 00:05:17.269
profile. Instantly, you're a verified expert.

00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:19.430
You're not some random guy from a cold email.

00:05:19.529 --> 00:05:22.800
And because that trust is baked in, That next

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.980
step, the 15 minute close, is a whole different

00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:28.240
ballgame. It's not a sales pitch at all. It's

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.600
a solution meeting. You just listen to their

00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.540
problem and you tell them the fixed price to

00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:35.220
solve it. Which leads to the final step, conversion.

00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:39.560
The closing rates are apparently huge, over 60%.

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.899
Compared to what, 1 % for a cold email? And they

00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.220
pay fast because they just want the pain to stop.

00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:46.939
They want their investment to start working.

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.860
So if that trust is already there from the software

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:52.600
company, how does that really change the energy

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.279
of that first client meeting? It just transforms

00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.139
selling into listening and solving specific,

00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:00.819
urgent problems. Okay, so the leads are great,

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:03.360
the margins are high, but that doesn't sell for

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.279
scale. If every single project is this custom,

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.019
one -off, special snowflake, you're never going

00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:11.019
to be able to grow. You'll just burn out. Oh,

00:06:11.019 --> 00:06:12.899
that's the fastest way to burn out for sure.

00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:16.529
Which is why productization is, uh... It's not

00:06:16.529 --> 00:06:18.610
optional. It's mandatory. So what does that mean

00:06:18.610 --> 00:06:21.529
to productize a service? It just means you sell

00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:24.149
a fixed package for a fixed price. Think of it

00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:26.889
like a restaurant menu. You don't create a custom

00:06:26.889 --> 00:06:30.029
dish for everyone. You offer a few amazing, defined

00:06:30.029 --> 00:06:32.689
entrees. It makes it super easy for the client

00:06:32.689 --> 00:06:35.069
to say yes. And it makes it repeatable for you,

00:06:35.170 --> 00:06:37.430
which is the key to actually scaling. Sources

00:06:37.430 --> 00:06:39.800
give some really good examples. Yeah, the first

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.759
one was the voice AI agent package. So this is

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.759
where you'd set up a tool like VOPI or retail

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.079
AI. You do the hard part. connecting it to their

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.240
Google calendar, making sure it talks to their

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.240
CRM, like go high level. Exactly. And the price

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.199
for that is something like a $3 ,000 setup fee

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.500
plus $500 a month for maintenance. That monthly

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:02.160
retainer is everything. Then there was the lead

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.420
gen chat bot. Right. Building on a platform like

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:06.500
Voiceflow, you train it on their website data,

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:09.180
you hook it into their Slack. So the sales team

00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:12.180
gets alerts. And that's priced a bit lower, maybe

00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:16.029
$2 ,500 for setup and $300 a month. Yeah, a lower

00:07:16.029 --> 00:07:18.370
entry point. And then there's the simplest one,

00:07:18.449 --> 00:07:21.970
the glue integration. This is for when a company

00:07:21.970 --> 00:07:24.689
has two big pieces of software that just don't

00:07:24.689 --> 00:07:27.610
talk to each other. So you use a tool like Make

00:07:27.610 --> 00:07:30.769
or an 8N to build that bridge. And you charge

00:07:30.769 --> 00:07:34.329
anywhere from $1 ,500 to $4 ,000 just for that

00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:36.990
one time setup. It's pure value. So what does

00:07:36.990 --> 00:07:40.259
productizing your services really do? for your

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:42.699
perceived value in the client's eyes. It positions

00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:45.740
you as an efficient, focused specialist, not

00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:48.019
just a time -for -hire freelancer. All right,

00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.399
now for the most important choice, picking the

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.180
platform to partner with. This feels like the

00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:54.180
whole foundation of the business. It is. It's

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:55.439
like choosing the land you're going to build

00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.600
your house on. It has to be growing fast, but

00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.579
it can't be overcrowded with 1 ,000 other builders.

00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.540
The sources gave three green flags to look for.

00:08:03.819 --> 00:08:06.639
The first one is fast user growth. Look for companies

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.819
that just raised a big round of funding, like

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:12.120
a Series A or B. Yep. That money means they're

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.519
about to scale like crazy. If they're adding

00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.899
hundreds of new users every day, their small

00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:19.120
support team is gonna get swamped. They have

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.759
no choice but to rely on outside partners. Green

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.660
flag number two. High technical complexity. So

00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:28.670
we need to avoid tools that are... Uh, too easy.

00:08:28.930 --> 00:08:31.050
Yeah. If someone can figure it out over their

00:08:31.050 --> 00:08:33.529
lunch break with a YouTube video, they are not

00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:35.590
going to pay you $3 ,000. You need something

00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:40.429
that requires real API work, custom logic, stuff

00:08:40.429 --> 00:08:42.929
like Stack AI. The difficulty is what creates

00:08:42.929 --> 00:08:45.409
the value. Exactly. And the third flag is what

00:08:45.409 --> 00:08:48.399
they call the service gap. You want pure SaaS

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.759
companies. Meaning they only sell the software

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.919
subscription. They don't have their own giant

00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.799
team of in -house consultants. Right. They are

00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.059
financially motivated to send all that setup

00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:00.600
work to an expert like you. It's a perfect alignment

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.279
of incentives. Whoa. OK, just think about that.

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.000
You're connecting your one little service directly

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.879
into a pipeline of, what, hundreds of new funded

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.320
users a day? Yeah. Users who are basically designed

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.740
to get stuck without an expert. That's the leverage.

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.320
It's the ultimate customer acquisition shortcut.

00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:20.539
But you also have to watch out for the red flags.

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:23.379
Right. We already said avoid tools that are too

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:26.899
simple. No margin. The second one is cold communities.

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:29.879
If you join their Discord or Slack and it's a

00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.659
ghost town, that platform is dying. You'd be

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:36.220
building on sinking sand. And the third, which

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:38.000
seems like the most dangerous one, is partnering

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.690
with low reputation companies. Yeah. If the tool

00:09:40.690 --> 00:09:43.070
is super buggy and users are always complaining,

00:09:43.210 --> 00:09:44.570
they're just going to cancel their subscription.

00:09:45.049 --> 00:09:47.570
And when they cancel, your monthly retainer goes

00:09:47.570 --> 00:09:49.529
right out the window with it. So between those

00:09:49.529 --> 00:09:51.730
three red flags, which one poses the biggest

00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:54.429
risk to your long -term monthly retainer income?

00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:56.750
Partnering with low -reputation companies whose

00:09:56.750 --> 00:09:59.350
structural bugs cause customers to quit their

00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:01.750
essential subscriptions. So let's say you found

00:10:01.750 --> 00:10:04.590
the perfect platform. Getting that official partner

00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:07.440
spot. It's not as simple as just emailing the

00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.500
CEO. There's a specific four -step playbook.

00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.639
Yeah, you can't just ask. Step one is you have

00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.059
to become a power user. I mean, you have to master

00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.360
the tool, read all the docs, build some cool

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.279
personal projects. Genuine expertise comes first.

00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.840
Okay, so you know the tool inside and out. Step

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.940
two. Help for free in the community. Go into

00:10:27.940 --> 00:10:30.779
their Slack or Discord and just be the most helpful

00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:33.919
person there. Answer questions. The staff will

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.100
notice you. The partner manager will definitely

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:38.259
notice you. Because you're making their job easier.

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.659
Exactly. Then step three is you have to create

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:44.379
case studies. Find two or three small businesses,

00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:47.600
offer them a huge discount, and get video testimonials

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.340
in return. You need that social proof. And once

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:52.480
you have all that, then you do the outreach.

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:55.259
The win -win outreach. Yes. And your message

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:57.950
isn't about you. It's about them. You say, hey,

00:10:58.070 --> 00:11:00.269
I've already helped five of your users succeed.

00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:02.870
They're now 100 % more likely to keep paying

00:11:02.870 --> 00:11:05.470
their subscription. You're a retention tool for

00:11:05.470 --> 00:11:08.029
them, not a vendor asking for a handout. OK,

00:11:08.110 --> 00:11:10.269
so the leads start coming in. Now you have to

00:11:10.269 --> 00:11:12.929
scale. This is where you move from being a freelancer

00:11:12.929 --> 00:11:16.289
to an actual business owner. And that means systems,

00:11:16.850 --> 00:11:20.649
specifically SOPs. Standard operating procedures.

00:11:21.549 --> 00:11:23.730
You need to document how you build your product

00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:26.210
I service in something like Notion. So you can

00:11:26.210 --> 00:11:28.690
hand it off to someone else. Right. And you train

00:11:28.690 --> 00:11:31.750
them using screen recordings like Loom. A five

00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:34.090
-minute video is so much better than a long email.

00:11:34.289 --> 00:11:37.870
You show. You don't just tell. And for hiring,

00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:40.889
the advice is to use project -based contractors,

00:11:41.149 --> 00:11:44.049
not full -time employees. Yeah. Find people who

00:11:44.049 --> 00:11:46.769
are amazing builders but are terrible at sales.

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.419
You handle the lead flow, they handle the build.

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:51.940
It's a perfect match that protects your high

00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:54.379
margins. And that all leads to the end game,

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.759
which is moving from being a service agency to

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.940
a sauce model. This is the real wealth building

00:11:58.940 --> 00:12:00.960
part. Once you realize you've built the same

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.379
chat bot for five different dentists, you stop

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:05.580
selling it as a custom service. You turn it into

00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:07.720
a reusable template. A template or a lightweight

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.980
app. Instead of a $5 ,000 one -time fee, you

00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:13.720
charge $200 a month for access to your plug and

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.409
play solution. That's a fundamental shift. So

00:12:16.409 --> 00:12:19.210
if the goal is long -term wealth, how important

00:12:19.210 --> 00:12:22.789
is that move from service to software compared

00:12:22.789 --> 00:12:25.029
to just maximizing the agency's profit month

00:12:25.029 --> 00:12:27.649
to month? The ultimate financial security and

00:12:27.649 --> 00:12:29.710
the potential for a multi -million dollar exit

00:12:29.710 --> 00:12:32.289
comes from building sellable equity, not just

00:12:32.289 --> 00:12:35.210
maximizing today's operational cash flow. So

00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:37.409
as we wrap up this deep dive, the core insight

00:12:37.409 --> 00:12:40.350
seems to be that this partner -led model works

00:12:40.350 --> 00:12:42.830
because it shifts the enormous cost and effort

00:12:42.830 --> 00:12:45.149
of building trust. It takes it off your shoulders

00:12:45.149 --> 00:12:47.629
and puts it onto the big established software

00:12:47.629 --> 00:12:50.009
platform that customers already know and respect.

00:12:50.350 --> 00:12:53.110
You're selling your brain, your efficiency, your

00:12:53.110 --> 00:12:56.210
cost of goods is almost zero. It lets you build

00:12:56.210 --> 00:12:58.509
a business by being the most helpful expert in

00:12:58.509 --> 00:13:01.090
the room, not by being the loudest salesman.

00:13:01.549 --> 00:13:04.409
It's real money, but it requires that real focused

00:13:04.409 --> 00:13:08.049
work in the first, say, 90 days. It's the definition

00:13:08.049 --> 00:13:10.090
of working smarter. So the action plan is pretty

00:13:10.090 --> 00:13:13.059
clear. Pick one tool, join its community. build

00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:15.700
a demo, get a testimonial, and then send that

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:18.500
win -win message to the partner manager. And

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:20.340
here's the final thought we want to leave you

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:23.299
with. Maybe the ultimate leverage in the AI world

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:25.960
right now isn't trying to build the next brand

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.399
new complex product from scratch. What is it

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.840
then? It's mastering a single specific growing

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.779
tool so incredibly well that the multi -million

00:13:34.779 --> 00:13:36.960
dollar company that created it actually starts

00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.059
to depend on you for their own customer retention.

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.529
That partnership, that dependency. That's what

00:13:41.529 --> 00:13:44.149
the real power is. Until next time, keep diving

00:13:44.149 --> 00:13:44.470
deep.
