My unexpected journey into ocean cleanup tech: 1. Spent 6 weeks volunteering on beach cleanups, shocked by the amount of plastic waste. 2. Created a viral TikTok series documenting the problem, reached 500K followers. 3. Attracted attention from 3 environmental NGOs looking for fresh ideas. 4. Collaborated with a marine biologist and an robotics engineer I met through my videos. 5. We're now testing an AI-guided underwater drone for efficiently collecting microplastics. The support from the community has been incredible! There's huge potential for tech solutions in ocean conservation.

[@ifeanyi5394]

Sounds fascinating, How can I get in on that drone tech building up?

[@nephastgweiz1022]

What value do you bring to the marine biologist / robotics engineer ? Seems like they don't need you if all you have is a following.

Here's my success story in the Voice AI space as a non-technical person. I hope it inspires you all! 1. I dedicated about 1,5 months to learning VAPI etc. 2. I created two KZbin videos sharing my knowledge. 3. Those videos brought in around 10-15 clients. 4. I teamed up with two software developers. 5. Now, we're working on several major projects and receiving referrals from our initial clients. This is literally how easy it is! There is huge demand in Voice AI solutions!

[@andreisas1621]

Pretty insane🔥 what did you focus on learning before taking clients?

[@justadigitalmarketer]

riches are in the niches !!

[@sanava_ai]

@@andreisas1621 APIs and docs, function calling, prompting. Once you understand these concepts, you just need to start building and testing.

[@sanava_ai]

@@justadigitalmarketer thats right!

[@LVHooper]

That's awesome and inspiring, congratulations

[@EnchantedInkAi]

One of my biggest set backs have been that I don't focus on just one thing. I've spent the last 2.5 years learning anything I could get my brain to latch onto, while figuring out what it is I'm actually trying to do. Whether it was business strategies, marketing, Ai, automation, building websites etc. And I'm still learning. But, this has been very helpful. Thank you.

[@DacariAirevenue]

Have the same issue and fill I need to combine it somehow to create my own blue ocean.. But putting the action has been a downer for me. Analysis paralysis it's called.. not having tools like a working laptop has been another challenge but I will surmount it.. been inspired by the comments

[@EnchantedInkAi]

@@DacariAirevenue When I can't build yet, I learn how to build better, faster and I use agents to do a lot of the technical thinking and planning, it's way more accurate than me. And some of these nerds have built amazing tools that help us stress less. I'd say that's a win.

[@DacariAirevenue]

@@EnchantedInkAi what agents and tools are you using and do you have a blueprint you can share.. will shorten my learning curve..

[@EnchantedInkAi]

@@DacariAirevenue No blueprints as yet, I'm using agents I built on CahtGPT to do my planning for the agent I want to build out using Relevance Ai and now I'm exploring Hubspot and how to get it all to work together.

[@shashankreddy9282]

Thanks Liam.Have been looking out youtube from 3 days for almost every waking hour and continuously learning something new and getting confused sometimes,but this video really helped as a complete beginner. Thanks a lot.

[@WilliamSeyama]

Hey Liam. I have been watching your videos since July last year, and I really appreciate the way you have been sharing great insights about your journey. I am inspired.

[@BeckySmithSanAntonioBecky]

Nobody breaks down the big picture like you. I asked Claude to write you a Haiku. Here it is: Liam's roadmap shines, Two to three months and you're set, Curate, learn, and share.

[@FileBrainPro]

Good stuff bro. Agree with above. For example, we've decided to niche down to Chatbots, and it seems like pretty much any business needs it replacing the old crappy chatbots with hardcoded flow. There are few ways to make it way more efficient with AI nowadays.

[@FileBrainPro]

@@dabitcoinbandit3553 there are a lot of free videos on youtube bro. Liam, for example covers it from the high level mostly, sometimes going a bit into technical part, to show how easy it is to start using the technology. Some other guys dig deeper into technical stuff. What is your focus? Understanding the focus? or how to find and deal with clients? Or technical aspects of implementation? On our channel we plan a series of more in-depth videos about usage of advanced RAG systems and Chatbot integrations.

[@AmmerAljoudi]

I have been looking in this space for somewhere to start , and I just watch this vedio and I think this is the most valuable Vied I ever saw , thank you Liam so much for providing this much of information , you leturlly draw the map

[@MuhammadTalhaIslam-q5m]

Very well thought out and impressive lecture on the field. I feel fortunate to join this group. Seems to be a vibrant place for beginners and novices to take a jump start. Some of text written on whiteboard was not quite visible. English, perhaps his native language, the Liam speaking is too fast. I would request to be a bit slow while speaking, if possible, for us to understand clearly. Secondly, there are levels of members. Please explain, how to go up to the next level?

[@MaceratorPumps-vm2gt]

Hey Liam, Huge fan of your work! I've been trying to join your AI community on Skool for the past few times, but unfortunately, my application has been declined three times without any feedback. I'm really eager to learn from your expertise and connect with the community - understanding why my application might not be fitting would be incredibly helpful. Is there any additional information I can provide to improve my chances of joining?

If I start my own AI agency now, And it would take 45-60 days to learn everything regarding this, can i make good amount of money in this? Or is it saturated now?

[@andreisas1621]

We ain’t even scratching the surface

[@sanava_ai]

@@pawankapoor5228 its not late at all!

[@iubankz7020]

by the time you learn they’ll be even more types of solutions (due to the insane speed that ai technology improves) that you’ll be able to offer businesses that none of the established businesses will be offering because they already have their main service that they offer and focus on

[@sanava_ai]

It's not too late! Every business will eventually seek an AI expert, and the early adopters are just starting to realize this. It will take a few years for AI to be fully integrated into every business, so there are plenty of opportunities ahead.

[@samuelChris-sh2lg]

It's saturated maybe you can go and start doing something else that is not saturated like selling newspaper on the streets

[@CapKingDeluxe]

Hey Liam, How would you delegate task for 2 people coming from non technical non marketing backgrounds but wanting to create and agency together ? I See a few concepts that need to be address as in Marketing, Learning the Developement. Operations etc just wondering what did you find was efficient when it came to delegation?

[@markgarrett2971]

Hey can you please clarify text based agents vs chatbot agents in greater detail. Thanks.

[@DigitalTradeSpot]

Hey, I wanna ride the AI wave and learn all about it. I'm into the Zapier ecosystem. But like, does that still count as being part of the "AI wave" or am I just gonna be a Zapier nerd specialist? I'm worried I won't be a legit "AI specialist." You get what I mean? I'm concerned it won't look good once the AI wave hits its peak.

Can you answer honestly. If you know how to make money and have multiple businesses, why are you on KZbin making videos instead of working on your businesses. Not trying to offend just curious. Thank you for your response in advance.

He technically answered this in the last few minutes...he said if he can get people to learn this information they may decide to use his software for their AI business and he'll make money as a result

[@dianaoneiro]

Is the course of how to make a course of how to make a course of how to make a course of how to to make a course … oh I just detected a hallucination 😂

[@systemswerver]

He sells AI software like his product "Agentive," so by creating more AI savvy entrepreneurs he is increasing his future customer base. He also didn't lie about how he's been getting his leads, and so far they've all been from KZbin. So if KZbin is bringing him clients for his business and paying him with advertising revenue...what reason does he have NOT to post videos? 😂

[@naturallydope247]

KZbin vids are apart of his business. It’s apart of his marketing strategy and it works. There are a lot of people who act like they know what they’re doing to sell subscriptions, but this kid actually adds value and is excellent at teaching. I respect the hustle.

[@edechukwuemekadaniel5566]

[@rednose1966]

Oh I hear you I have to convert myself no convict myself of probably doing the same thing. What I recommend that you do is to establish yourself with an online presence on LinkedIn on KZbin and on any platform that you know that will bring value that you can share Your knowledge base with I am an American and I am going to be suspicious of people from outside the USA and in the USA unfortunately we have experiences with online scammers. By developing channels with content that exist more than two weeks it will give you credibility. And in the contact if you show what you can do then sometimes that is reassuring. I just saw that you said that you were going to work harder every day. Make some of that content and when people see your footprints on social media it makes you more credible. Keep working hard and believing in yourself

​@@unfilterednabil I am literaly loosing clients to this. I know my stuff. Do you know what leads to untrust. Teenagers copying a youtube and over promising AI solutions to then do a shit job and turn the business client away from ever using AI, then then go on to tell me when I have legitimate experience that AI sucks and there is no way to convince them its good. It's easy to say that "money is not finite" etc. But the truth is, there are still limited number of businesses and when people in those networks talk about bad experiences then it spreads quickly which it bad for everyone.
