Man explains AI agency middleman business modelREADY CLIP43s60FAIR
A man admits he cannot code but says he is good at selling AI, and walks through how he finds businesses that need AI, shows them the solution and collects a couple thousand dollars. He says he gives 25 developers at front runners 10 to 20% of each deal and they fulfill the whole thing, and he calls himself the middleman arbitraging developers and selling AI for tens of thousands.
WHY WATCH
He lays out the middleman model with specific numbers, claiming tens of thousands of dollars from deals built by 25 developers he pays 10 to 20%, despite not knowing how to code.

A man standing by a pool argues that every sale, especially in AI, comes down to creating urgency in the buyerREADY CLIP43s60FAIR
He warns that competitors are putting AI into their businesses and claims anyone slower will be left far behind, since new AI models and tools drop every day. Chao says whatever is newest has to be implemented right away, and closes by arguing that a buyer who admits urgency on a sales call will buy from you.
WHY WATCH
Chao's blunt claim that urgency, not features, closes a deal ends with a quotable line on spotting the buying signal when a buyer says they need it now.

A man says an ad business starts at a couple grand and can scale to 100K monthsREADY CLIP49s60FAIR
A man answers what it costs to start an ad business, saying usage, software and leads add up but setup is fairly easy and runs about a couple thousand dollars. He tells anyone without a couple thousand saved to get a job, argues businesses that need capital are gate kept and less saturated, and claims you can scale to 50K-100K months and snowball the money back in.
WHY WATCH
He gives a blunt cutoff: if you do not have a couple thousand dollars saved, get a job, and argues capital keeps a business gate kept and out of a saturated market.
