In this interview segment, Chris Koerner explains how introverts can launch a lucrative AI implementation business for small companies with virtually no upfront investment. He claims a 26‑year‑old can earn $15,000 in a single month, with potential six‑figure annual income, by charging $1,000–$20,000 per project. The startup cost is cited as only $20, and no prior sales or door‑to‑door experience is required. Koerner emphasizes that modern AI tools level the playing field against large enterprises, allowing faster, more flexible delivery. He also introduces the DASA framework, which he uses to lead every AI project, though details of the framework are not elaborated in this excerpt.
