Really well put at the end Liam: "The AI business model adopts a growth mindset, always staying on the front foot to address the ongoing need and demand for new technologies. With continuous experimentation, the right team, and a clear vision, it's possible to rise above challenges and see the bigger picture. But, the best defense is to have a business with resources that provide some insulation from changes. This enables you to step back, analyze the situation, and adapt to the new rules of the game."

Great video Liam. Mark seems super knowledgeable on the AAA model, i can tell he is going to be successful. More of the podcast format!

[@Taha_EH]

Super valuable 🔥 Mark’s way of « dumbing things down » really shines through and Liam you’re a natural when it comes to hosting ✅

I'm tuning into your Premier

[@nabzzmentality]

Bro when you started your agency?

[@n8works]

I built and ran a cloud services MSP for 15 years then founded the #1 AWS partner in the world. - I know success when I see it. These guys have what it takes to crush it and this market is bigger and more valuable than even the birth of the Internet. Cheers to Liam for putting this information out there.

[@LiamOttley]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@michaelmaams7103]

God damn, that is some value right there. Respect

[@alexander......]

Video on an Agency tax structure that is advantageous 🙏 I know it couldn’t be “advice” or specific, but would help!

[@8941065]

Thank you liam, very valuable

[@Laacce]

So much rich information

[@ciftcierdinc]

Okay i guess gotta visit dubai now :) great interview

[@firstnamelastname7299]

Not sure if you have any knowledge in this area, but I'd be interested in your input regardless because you have more business experience than me. I'm a physicist and mathematician, and have largely been working in the fields of scientific computing / physics simulation. Where do you see strong uses cases for ML in this area? Specifically something that would be tractable for a solo entrepreneur.

[@amitariav125]

whats an Ai agent that i can implement or build ? I know what an Ai agent is but dont really understand how and what you could do with it for clients

[@whatever228]

[@DIY12-24v]

0:34 😂 2-5 leads i get 300-700 loads a day. With the vast majority of them ready or almost ready to spend 200-5000 with repeat buys for life. I just need help with someone that knows ai to help set-up a new e-commerce solutions to leverage this.

[@ishatariq9422]

@LiamOttley what kind of developer are you looking for?

[@alex_288]

Wouldn’t smma be better then aaa since with smma you have the same clients every month instead of finding new ones?

[@poshsims4016]

I hate the word Side hustle lol. Is that a word for people with 9-5 that’s trying things for extra income….. AI is a passion and not a side hustle for me.

[@lennon_richardson]

Did he ever drop his KZbin?

[@Mark_Kashef]

took me 6 months of being shy from the camera, but I dropped it a month ago :) @Mark_Kashef

[@denisetefft1638]

Your accelerator program you charge $200.00 month and $1000.00 for 6 months. Who can afford this?

[@m.g5796]

-› I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.
