The AI Tools Behind $100M in Creator Revenue (Full Breakdown)

Transcript of a conversation (YouTube) between Maciek and Nick Fisher about Fisher’s current ventures and operating model (agency vs venture/studio), use of AI tools (notably Delphi and Clay integrations) to create ‘Super Connector’ / custom GPT workflows, and practical growth tactics (Twitter/X engagement, Dream 100 outreach, offer/funnel clarity). The speakers also compare market-research and onboarding workflows (a 57‑page buyer-matrix), discuss agency operations (services, client onboarding, time-tracking, margins) and monetization ideas for AI assistants.
Chapters
We can of course just dive in. And I think the first thing I want to walk over is of course the ventures that you're actively working with. Right. Because it does seem like we are in similar verticals. You maybe take a different approach to us. Like for some context, we just run like an agency, do front end to backend management for big info guys. Right. Is that the route that you take? Because of course I've heard some things about like offer publishing and like different conversion mechanisms you implement. But what's the main focus for you now? Like what are you working on?
Yeah, so let me see if I can. I'm gonna plug my computer into so it just doesn't die on me here. I will show you our internal deck. Because what I call ourselves is a startup studio or like venture studio. But there's some nuance to it. And the difference to me is like when I say something's agency or not or consulting, consulting to me is like, you know, no implementation, no done for you, just strategy and discussion and clarity.
Right.
It's time block. And then for me, agency is the idea of it's usually associated with a retainer fee or percent of ad spending for your media buying. But in general, I define agency as I have clients versus I have business partners is like a growth studio. So to me right now I have both. We have just, we had an agency from 2019 in addition to a studio in my own brands. And I was running out of cash flow and this deck that I have kind of goes over that. So various seasons of my life, if I need more resourcing, I'll take on a client or two in a gig. It's fun for me. Like last year, Cody Sanchez, it was super fun to help her solve a very specific problem. Black Swan this year, in the last year helped solve a very specific problem. So like certain people that are just, they won't give me equity in their business and I really want to work with them anyway. I'm like, can we find just a project then like a client project? So that's the client work. I still do do. But I try to actually, I don't try. I'm going to say this. I will not take more than one more project if like we have another initiative and right now I do. So you can ask my team. But that's the only thing that's really screwed me over is like, okay, just because you can take clients doesn't mean you should. And I want to do a good job on the project work with the level of people that are now in my network. So but I judge projects by are they an interesting person, do I want to work with them. And you'll see kind of the heuristics in here. So this is going to be my next year mantra. I'm just putting it up front. I was honored to get to speak. I still haven't yet. I missed it. Ben Bader's community who seems to have a growth operating community and I was trying to learn a little bit about him so I could do a good job and represent his legacy. So in general my project that I'm focused on right now that has clients testing it out is roughly called Omni and I am just going to keep it there on that Some of it I want to create some like intrigue and mystery. But my background director marketing at some places in my north Star like heuristics are dream 100. This is how like me and Sam Ovens met. It's similar to how me and you met. Even on X it's just like learn from people that you want to learn from. And on X that is crazy game right now right of just accessing people. I'm like there's a shot I can get to anyone I want to that's like influential in our space or the tech space right now on X pretty easily straight line them and if not that one degree away. So it's a really cool place to be. I found this summer I'd ignored it for forever and right now like I still don't think to go there. It's on my calendar actually. I think to post on X that's like how I need to get in the habit of it. Some people find like socials addictive. I find like TikTok and feed based algos are much more addictive in X's. I just don't scroll feed like you know for the most part like I just don't do that. Most people are having conversations which makes it a little bit cooler to me and less, you know, less addictive. So I pop in.
Pop. I am, I am guilty of mindless scrolling on X. I am so tell me. I am a guilty.
Tell me where, where, where can I find a more addictive feed? Because to me I can always stop. I like working algorithms so I usually put in guardrails. So to me like do you go to profile home? I just don't know where to go.
I go through the for you option. That's like the best. Okay Peter. I've seen and following of course like if you have a Specific with the people that you do follow. Of course you're getting high value posts through the following section. Okay, but like, back to your point, what you mentioned, like, around Twitter, like, Twitter is, in my opinion, one of the best social media platforms for sophisticated exposure. Now what I mean by that is, of course you've got, like, platforms like Instagram, TikTok and all these other ones, right? But the people on Twitter, by the way, that you meet, by the way, are super interesting folks. Like, I've met people, by the way, with like less than 1k followers that are absolute killers. They've got no digital presence, but they of course know what they're talking about. Like, I believe, of course you agree as well. Like, Twitter is an insane platform for that, like, that sophisticated exposure.
So take me through then maybe, because, like, I, I wanted to stop, I wanted to scroll, stop on two here. Like, for me personally, because I saw two people I know and like, I've also, like, hopefully, hopefully you guys are seeing this. Hopefully you guys had fun yesterday. I'm on a podcast and I know that whatever masterclass on outreach you guys are doing, it's probably going to be next level, right? That's my tendency to do something like that. So what are you typically looking for when you're scrolling on X? I'm curious.
And like, for what, what works for me specifically?
What makes your thumb stop, essentially, Even if you're doom scrolling. Because I doom scroll every now and again too, for sure. Just not on it usually.
I mean, if we go to the top part of this feed already, right? It's like the tweets with images, they of course, like skull stopping, right? Like, like the one, for example, with like Ryan Clark and the guy Nate. Who? Nate. That was like a final. No, like a funny scenario that happened on Twitter when that marketer, he put out one of his outreach tweets, right? I quote, tweeted that got some decent exposure. Like, I quote tweeted it. Like, that was crazy. Like, that was like, the difference.
I took it. I, I did this one because I was like, oh, I'm gonna keep this going on my Nate side here of this, like, semantics argument. It's like unimportant, but in general that the other guy thought it was right. And I think a lot of us just thought it was absurd, which is fun. So what's. Maybe I don't know if I can track that spider web. And so you did the same thing, like, repost first quote kind of thing. I just don't know how to growth hack On Twitter and X, I'm genuinely asking, just like normally what's your thought is just have fun or like I want to grow here.
My thought process is right and I'm not sure because I'm not really like the best on Twitter. But like my thought process is running Twitter is just losing awareness and comes and like just write what comes to mind. Like when I thought about deliberately writing something and I'm forcing the idea on like tweet format. The tweet never done well. But when, for example, like now I was at a gym or like I'll be walking to the co working space, an idea for a tweet would subconsciously come to my mind and then I would tweet it. Right. It's kind of like the concept and the phenomenon about like your greatest ideas come in a shower, right? Similar mechanism.
So you. That's Hormozi's creative chaining as well, from what I understand, and his X feed. So I'm now going to bucket like you. And that main bucket for me is to me, I'm like, what is someone's like goal or aim here? And a lot of sometimes people can't figure mine out too. Like sometimes my aim is just like, hey guys, I'm having fun and like my friends are here versus I'm actually trying to growth hack. And on X I'm like, I do actually now see value in having a certain amount of social following. I just don't quite know how big and who, but it seems like people I like are on there. So it's important to me right now it's on my calendar, right, for every day to post there. So if you see me post roughly 1 per.1x post per day, it doesn't seem to be helping me grow. Like, so help me out.
Help.
Interesting.
I mean, yeah. One showing this is because I do have, I think about this, right? Works from short to long. Twitter for testing ideas. And then I usually would add a link and just put in like your X handle which is it the same as what I'm seeing on this screen? I know we all have weird handles.
My fish, it's M, A, C, I, E, K. Just the letter L underscore.
Underscore. Yeah. Like that's the thing I can never remember too is like, how do I like my friends? And I'm like, oh yeah, I'm fish in iw. No one's going to remember how to do that too. I don't even know. Can you change your handle and does it matter?
Have you noticed you can change your handle. But I believe now because, like, you've kind of created this ecosystem with all your previous tweets, and those tweets are associated with the handle. I believe when you change it, you can no longer see the designated handle. Right. But I think I even consumed it somewhere. But, you know, like, handles with like just your name, for example. Right. I want to get the handle that just says magic, but there's a suspended profile that has that username and I'm trying to so hard to get a username, but I can't attain it.
Okay, so it's something you can buy and swapped or something like you get it's under kind of black hat or what? What's the deal?
Yeah, like some black cat people can get it. Or even, I think Twitter, they're releasing like a marketplace to buy these handles. Right. But it's kind of all perceived value. Right? Because like, imagine now you had to handle like, Nick. Insane.
Yeah.
Like a lot of my friends do. I remember the. The plug. I won't reveal who it is. I don't know if they would want me to or they do like to be known for is super dope. But just know that anyone that, like, if you see like Jeremy Haynes, Jeremy.
Allan.
Money, a few others that you guys can think of credit. There's a lot of people that I know just by their. @ on Instagram. And there was an era where I should have done both of the ones I wanted. They're like, do you want Nick or do you want Fisher? And I remember this person coming back to me and being like, the cost was too high because the person that had each one was relatively famous. So I was like, all right, interesting. Yeah, just like you have to go to. So, yeah, I remember that era. And I was like, okay, this connection is going to get fired. That we're probably, you know, it's probably middlemanning a bunch of other people until you get to internal employee would be my guess. I don't know. I was never that on the inside. But yeah, I'll. I'll try to find it because if it's important, it would be sick to have. I know exactly the handle I. I'd want. Can you change it with just if it's free and.
Open. Yeah. Like through Twitter, like through settings, like, easily done. Okay. But yeah, like, I'll like, I want to get the magic one. But like, like for you, imagine the handle. Nick. How crazy I'll be on Twitter. Like, the perceived value around that. By the way, like, your name Is like a lot more popular to mine. Like, mine's like an Eastern European name. There's not many people with that name compared to.
Nick. I would want Fish or Fisher or at worst, my other ones are Nick do Fish. So I. I imagine actually before this goes out, we're not live streaming, right? Someone's going to go squat on it. They're like, okay, yeah, no, grab that one. Yeah, we'll put in some delay here. Hopefully you guys, if you're watching this, bring it back to me. I am happy to pay for it. Just, I don't want to be extorted. Like, when someone brings me, they're like, you want Nick Fisher dot com, which has happened for a couple thousand dollars. I was like, all right, guys, I'm not that famous where you're gonna like, I don't need it that bad. And I grabbed Nick Fish, so I own that. And that's. It redirects to whatever I want at the time. Right now it's my Delphi.
Bot. Interesting. Interesting. Yeah. Like, of course, talking about Twitter, right? I came across you on Twitter. Then I kind of go into like a rabbit hole around your name. I saw like a student of mine, he'd done a podcast with you as well, right? But like now with you and your ventures, like, of course you mentioned Twitter as the channel to get in touch with people. Right. But there other goals you've got in mind with, like, not like Twitter. Like, do you see as like a channel for, I don't know, new business or like, what versions with.
Twitter? Yeah, it has. That's something that I think maybe me and Ryan Cog talked about in. In our interview. A lot of opportunities come out of X. Let's just say, like, this is an opportunity, right, that I said yes to. I probably should be saying no to things that aren't like, directly related to my goal. However, Dream 100 is not done yet. So even though, like, and I hopefully don't take this wrong way before the summer, because X I didn't know and we like, met right over the Internet. I was like, I just made a dream, like 55 or something. I was like, the rest will fill in with interesting people around. The people I reconnect with is my thought. So I'm trying to figure out and actually teach that to people because it can be daunting to start with. Like, Brunson teaches in expert secrets. Like, that's where I first got the idea. I think maybe Shet Holmes, before I'm in sales machine, ultimate sales machine talks about it and that's like if you guys want just the simplest way to win. I think about are you a how person or a who person? I like, I like to meet people. I'm a networker. I like to go to events. That's not me. I do it because it's important and strategic. But I prefer to be introverted and I think, how, how can I do this by myself? How can I not ask for help? So the how people, generally speaking go through courses, they buy the courses, they learn the method that the growth operators, the who people end up usually being creators or affiliate managers or like partnerships or like something that involves networking. I always consider like Steve Harward like one of the goats on the on the who side. Pace is on the who side too. Morby, who is my business partner? I almost all my business partners are who people. Which makes sense to me now in hindsight. Never saw it though. In the beginning it's just like, cool, we have a problem. Who, how paths. So figure out which one is you. Because trying to be the other one and just be like Nick said Dream 100 is the only way to get there. People say that type of stuff because they want you to focus and just do what they say. To me, I always like to give people at least the illusion of choice or like a bind, false bind here. Because really there's other things I could say of getting there. But that's a better heuristic to just start there and then you don't. You feel energized. You end up like, okay, this is hard. What I'm doing is harder than I thought, which has happened with me with so many of my goals. I'm like, okay, this is now I've come to the conclusion that pretty much anything is hard that you want that no one else has certainly. And if someone does have it and it took a long time to get there, it's probably a reason. And you can't just find super like super quick shortcuts without putting a lot of work. So know what you want, how you're going to go get it, or who you're going to ask to get it. And X is like a who hack. And I'm building this show. You just an example of the who side build out of Omni. This is the first time I'm displaying it actually publicly. I showed this in my in person mastermind. So this is the actual like application I'm using in skin right now to do this is Clay using Clay Earth and their Nexus tool. Been working with them Basically patch together a Super Connector, an MVP of this. So if I just say where. Where are you based out of right.
Now? Warsaw.
Poland. Warsaw. Like who do I know in Europe and what country is their company? What founders? Let's make it. Who do I know that is a founder in Europe? I don't know if I know anyone else in Warsaw. This is. I thought I was going to impress you, but I probably don't know anyone in Warsaw. We'll ask after, but this is European.
Channel.
Yep. Maybe. Okay, sweet. So cool. And then for instance, like I didn't know Alexander was there. And.
Rob, this.
Is. You see how like maybe useful this would be for Dream 100 or like when I think about it, the actual exercise or question that's useful for everyone. We can go into Felix and we can see a bunch about him that we haven't caught up in a while. We've emailed and a bunch of other fun stuff. This thing is extremely useful for super connectors. But the AI allows you to do the Dream 100 exercise. Let's ask it. Can you give me the first 10 people that Nick Fisher might have on his Dream 100 list to interview for a podcast? And that is what kind of what I go into this thinking, like who's interviewing who? And then I love when you said, yeah, let's do free flowing conversation. My favorite. Anyways, like then we get to learn about each other, you know, understand the. Yes. Sweet. Starting to think like me. Yes, you're starting to think like me. What would Nick Fiser do? Let's see if that's right. Yep. Yep, you got it. Give me the first 10. So it is built a bit like how I approach things, which means it's that you can pretend it's not Nick Fisher if you want. And then now it's going to fetch it from the Super Connector network. So right now that's me and Pace. Pace's network. I can't see any of the actual conversations, but we get basically a running feed since he synced all of his sources too. Cool. Sweet. Amy is like my right hand and she's, you know, just talked to her last month. So yeah, this is. I've talked to all of these. What's. How did you determine these 10 was. What was the formula roughly? Okay, so what, what recency? Like recency of comms. And there's like basically a bunch of other stuff thought into this of just here, people. Recency of communication, data first creation. It's. There's a lot of mapping that needs to happen Both. Both actual and other things. But I can go into anyone's profile and you can be like, oh, how. How do you know each other? And I can actually prove it out and show proof of like, hey, earlier with Ryan, like, cool, we're friends, I hope, right? I think you would say that. Now. We just met each other this year though, and most recently we not. Yeah, 19 times texted. 308, 29 meetings so far this year truly has been helpful. So when I say, hey, like, which I did before this on a post, you were helpful. There's evidence there, both to me and to other people that that is interesting. And I can make associations with Josh Snow and Josh Gavin. Actually, now no one knows about that yet. And who else did we meet? Like, last time we were in person at Mastermind, Cole Gordon was asked him to speak. We were both in the back of the room there. And you guys see maybe how powerful this could become if people use this tool with me. So I am looking DM me if you want to actually DM me for sure if you need help. And I'm gonna. I'll help you. I don't know who I want to add to the Super Connector network next because there is some privacy risk with this version I'm trying to create. Maybe that's who I need is probably someone who can accelerate this from a. Think it's feeding not just Clay Earth's like core features, but other data sets as well with some preference and some limitations around the API. So if you can help in those. If you know what I just said, reach out to me. I would love for. I would love to pay someone to take this project from me and accelerate it.
Faster. So thank you for like, of course, of course. I mean, everyone watching Nick's Twitter will be posted, of course, inside the description, so you can of course reach out to him if that's something up your avenue. But like, the tool seems super interesting, right? Like, I mean now like, I'm going to think of like an ICP that we target, right? And trying to see the benefits that it can serve for an ICP like this. Let's say now I run an info marketing agency, right? I'm doing 100k a month. I target course creators and coaches that do 500k a month and I'm helping them implement webinar funnels on culture.
Traffic.
Right. How can a tool like this help me with like hyper value, like prospecting and like the Dream 100 method, as you said.
Right. Okay, sweet. So I was halfway listening, but we Got to goal at the end. And that was helpful because now I'm thinking about it differently. So what was the goal is prospecting on this? Okay, so if the goal is prospecting, how do I do the market intel and market research.
Process? Yeah, like how do I do the market research for the.
Prospecting? Then my next question is usually about stage of growth that you're at. And then from there I give market strategy. So again, let's make this a meta example. This, this is fun, man. I love to do this.
Stuff. So this, these are the best types of.
Conversations. Nick Fish. Right. This goes to my ungated AI as of now. By the time you guys see this, I probably might gate it with some guardrails and then I'm just going to paste what you just said roughly. Or what I said and you said how I was doing that is again whisper.
Flow.
Right. Which has been fun. I learned about it on X and I'm like, hell yeah. I love this. All right. Yeah, it's doing it in roughly the order that I would do it. I basically work from icp. Voice of customer, voice of competitor. And you notice I skipped brand, which I said is like usually where I need to probably bake this into it because it is most useful if you're a go to market stage to start with your brand because you don't have one. Right. Or you do. It's just probably. It wasn't, it wasn't well thought through because you weren't trying to be a creator in the spotlight. Like did you have that struggle at first of like how do I show myself to the world.
Essentially? I mean, I mean most agency on this day kind of have to struggle depending on of course, customer.
Journeys. I did. Yeah, I did. I found not everyone does. Some people just like doing biz dev and being out there. That was never me. So like struggle with that. What was the first. What were like some of the things you tried to do as an agency owner to get more clients that either didn't work or you didn't like doing them because they were draining and.
Codemo, which I don't think. Yeah, like mass sending code emails was massively draining. No. Yeah, that's like one.
Avenue. Yep. So I don't like that either because what services do you.
Sell? Logical to high tech funnel.
Implementations. Okay. And then any expansion. Do you like do any done for you media or.
Traffic. You're done for you meta ads and creatives and like campaign.
Scanning. Yeah, very similar to. Very similar to my agency services. We had about five that we did VSL writing, book writing, media buying Facebook media, buying YouTube, Croatia. That's it. So. And that's even like for a boutique agency, having five services is hard, I think, anymore. And you risk not being very good at any of them and having to get low clients with outbound and dm. So I think like, cool, I understand where you're at. This is now going to inform the actual opposite. Assume that we have acquired a client, like a marketing agency that I described above did. How would you start day one, kickoff with the client or even before that? What do you do before kickoff? Right. And it should know all that. It has like recency bias built in. But I've done enough. I played pretty much every seat except like cfo. Well, I guess I played that too. Shouldn't have been in it. So run pretty good. Yep. Access is always first for me. That's on my checklist and that should be source stamps. Hey, what's up, Josh? And what's up, Claude? Yeah, like both internal and external sourcing. Right now, the external one, the public one, is just going to have external sourcing, which because I've been so transparent, will probably actually still be just as transparent and internal. All right then. Yep. Offer funnel clarity. Yep. You'll see.
Snapshot.
Yep. This is, this is the only thing that's probably variable for me. It's like I do two, about 20, 25, and that's key. That Sam Ovens taught me. It's the best example of that super.
Swing. Wait, those are like, well, like client interviews with. Well, like stream.
Customers. Yeah. Or no. So like with clients or just happy customers. It could be. The lesson's universal, but for the sake of like, what it actually looks like, I do it very different. Like what I'm trying to get at on those clients. So I'm trying to get to this and I'm trying to get to an ICP pattern or what I call a skew. Like internally I say, what's the skews of our icp? And I'm like, okay, so our ICP is, is usually risk averse. They're usually skeptical instead of trusting, pragmatic instead of optimistic. They're all over the board as far as their preference on speed. So we'll go in the middle and we won't say that this is, you see, like the differentiation points. If they were all skewed here, I would say this is the fastest method for getting what you want. Right. This is the not slowest, deliberate. This is deliberately created. That's me with a Spot. So this bot going back to here if I ask it, hey, personality comparison skews super swings. And I just want to show you guys how scary good this thing is. Show the SKUs or personality profiling that you do in Crystal knows on super swings and describe the ICP in terms of their skews. Like risk aversion versus risk tolerance. Almost got it. But it should know AI is just like so smart that it can kind of just. You can give it half baked. Grammar, risk averse. Boom. Sick. So like to me, I'm trying to you guys like you don't know like what's in it and how to pull it out. But I've been just pulling out it on this stuff and I'm just basically QA qcing my own thing as we go through this because I'm like, cool. It's good, it's good. It can walk you through a process if, if I want it to narrow it down even further and it's. And like have it be very. Let's call it Sam Oven Z or Hormozy. Which is wrong question. This is the right question. You should be asking what do you want in.
Life?
Right. Or like whatever the framework is. I could do that. But for right now I love it's like me. So I'm just making it like me first. And then maybe we'll make different iterations for people that will be more helpful for their kind of cognitive chain. So that's how I approach yeah AI bot creation. But as a ghostwriter like I where I started and why I got so good with mine so fast despite only working on it for two to three months now is Paces I've worked on for about six months and his has just so many, so many inputs and complexities and problems to solve that mine just doesn't need to like guardrail. Like he has real estate contracts and paperwork and stuff that would be bad, right? To. To display if I were to come in here and just be like, well, what I usually do is if you make if you really care or if you guys want me to train you on how to make a deli like this, write an ad for Pace Morby aimed at agency owners and use the ICP for AXA intelligence. And consider the competitive factor is lead generation for real estate not the best. Like that's probably not really a thing Lead gen real.
Estate.
There's. There's not much marketing agency competition overlap with the real estate lead gen game. But you know, if you guys want clients, real estate investors always want more Leads. Even if leads are, like, flowing, there's, like, usually a scarcity mindset around Legion or the need to keep doing it. All right, cool. Sweet. Now let's do one for me. All right, now this One is for go.sub2.com. You're familiar with that funnel entry point, correct? If so, proceed and write me a hook that will target our core audience. Let's call it for a lookalike 1% ad set and use a CTA to case study and tell one of your 20 best conversion stories, or aha moments, as Nick would call them. I don't think he knows that though. Like, that now it's not me, so. But like, my bot would know what that means. My bot has his 20 best conversion stories. Right? That's roughly how you would write an ad with this thing. But, like, I can get perfect tonality. So if anything, what I do now is I come back here, I'm like, okay, you see that? I'm going a little bit too fast and I didn't think this through. Come back here, run it again, and then I'm going to tell it what I'm going to do next. Then I'm going to use Paces Delphi to rewrite for perfect tonality. So just use your implied pace impression voice. I don't know what I do. I just. I just write. The old way was just watch paste YouTube videos and write exactly what he says is my copy method. Okay. So to me, I'm like, when you write out of context and I haven't really done market research on Sub2's audience, I have no idea why it shows that, but I could ask it and hopefully there's some research. Second var. More certainty for seeker versus speed seeker. Okay, cool. Yes. Give me 10 variations and then just a tag so I can understand if it's a competitive hook. A target market pain point or problem, a fear, a desire label the copy frameworks. Right? This is how. Now I'm teaching myself to get up to speed with my assumptions about the old market research I've done on sub 2 because I haven't done it recently. Last time I did market research was last year for sub 2. I do it usually once a year because I'm not the lead copywriter. Carson, who's our copy chief, probably has a way better grip on what certain products want. All right. Thanks. Said no, sorry. Sweet. I like. So what now I want is this. These are good enough. Now bring the pace. And you make these 3 per sec better for our target market. Using their own words. It would be helpful if you use exactly either your own phrases or phrases you've heard on student calls. All right, sweet. Now we're getting.
Somewhere. Nick, I've got like a, like a quick question. Like other people, they may be of course in a similar headspace. Right. You're like feeding this AI process, right? The inputs. What inputs do you feed this to? Of course maximize the creativity to help and actually make it match like Pace, like Mob's voice.
Cool. I'll give you. We're on different plans. So I'm on like the 500, $600 a month plan. Pace is on the immortal 25k a year I think or something. Although shout out to Dara and Delight team we because we bought Paces of Mortal one first I get to talk to their team about mine which has been a blessing. So this is front facing, right. And I can call her chat with mine which is fine. And if like I've never done this content idea for my team to have my bot call Pace's bot and we'll just see what happens. So. Or someone else do that. Only what happens. That's always some of my favorite content on Tick Tock. When you have like two AIs talking to each other so that one would really kind of get interesting. But in general studio is the back end. So if you're kind of coming to paces, Paces is apparently the best or like has the most depth of content and what they call mind that I think they've ever seen. So you can see like it's auto syncing based off of what you do is like think about massive integration sources and I can show you guys. This is why I love Delphi. It took me forever to figure out like how can I get someone who actually cares about building a custom GPT at like 100x the level. Because custom GPTs are like semi useless now at this point for me save for just like being the first wave of how you did this. So I look at basically there's integration sources. I forget exactly where they're at. But our plan for here is the Immortal plan. I was right. And on mine I'm on the second highest plan. But basically you get these advanced insights. Why I love Paces the Immortal plan. I wish I had this like his. Let's bring this back to the last three months. And I wonder if this mind quality is usually 99. I wonder what happened if it broke. Some integrations broke. But you can see these insights. It surfaces things and I can see things like these are all lead magnet ideas for me. Your audience frequently negotiates Asian commissions. It's a creative.
Deal. Ever question Nick, the mind quality is that the effectiveness of the bot itself, like how close the bot is to the face front end.
Right. It has nothing to do with how many words are in there. Immortal just means you can have, I think unlimited words. Mine maxes out at 20. Let's see. I have even this one file failed. This like will end up probably being on this playlist, right. Which is auto syncing for me and a bunch of other things. So everything auto describes, even Q and A calls. And I can ask mine, mine's really good about recency, what I'm doing online. But you go here, train and I can do an interview and it can pull it out of me or I can upload content and look, I can do give it a website. So right now like for X, since that's where your like ideas start. Mine's already connected and you can see that. So create like everything that I'm doing, I'm flowing through it so effortlessly. And that is the hardest part to kind of unravel for creators. Like how do you actually get yourself unstuck? Which I talked about a little bit today. And then from there for me, my biggest problem because I wasn't a creator, I've worked with enough to like, I helped them get unstuck. So I'm like, I know how to get like anyone unstuck even myself. Like if I get jarred, like I'll have a different problem and I'll try to, you know, either do it on myself or get someone like you to like snap me into it. Go to a friend, be like, why can't I create content? That's what the growth operators, you know, who are good do. So this what I. I've connected slack like everything. I've connected my whole entire life to this thing and upload from CSVs. Like they really, really thought through these integrations and I can just give it channels. So if you want to mind meld it with like you and me, which you guys like, I, as of right now, I don't know actually they probably don't allow for that. There's guardrails around you blending I think other people's bots with yours. Like I can't make one for Pace without PACE doing the face scan and id. They care about some, they care about people only making ones for them. And I, I don't know why, but probably let's call it legality, deep faking and whatever regulation.
Too.
Yeah. So I mean this Is it seems like an interesting tool. So like in a nutshell, right, this tool here, Delphi, right? Is that how you pronounce it? Delphi or.
Delphi? I. I don't know. Actually both.
Probably.
Delphi.
Yeah. Delphi pronunciations, right? Yeah. So like I'm imagining myself using this tool, right? I've got course material, YouTube videos, tweets, SOPs and Slack messages, right. What I do is I integrate my social media channels into a tool like this, upload as many assets as humanly possible to upgrade those can be written SOPs and then this tool itself will mold itself into me, which I can use for quantum distribution ideas further YouTube videos. Correct. Is that the entire.
Mechanism? Yeah. And because Deli. Because they're using wrapping, let's call it open AI I think.
Mainly. But.
Let'S. They probably have a blend they. And that's going to get better all the time. I'm usually thinking about okay can this. Does this do the 8020 of like what I need to. For forever. Like to where I wouldn't have to switch the switching AI tools. I found myself three years ago, two years ago with way, way too many AI tools tried over the course of the year because they just kept leapfrogging each other. I'm like oh, Now I use Claude. Now I use ChatGPT5.1. Now I. So I'm like what could I go to that's anchoring that will always win. And like Delphi competes in let's call it a purple ocean. It's like not blue. People are coming after this problem, but they just see it better, I think than all these other things. And they're like yes, like integration, sourcing and making sure that you just stay on top of that and then have some cool features on Roadmap is all I really ask. Because you can see where they're headed now, right? It's like now these action features are starting to appear. It's like index. Make it you. And if I could sell you on the idea that it. It is you, then I can sell you on the idea of you see on their dashboard the idea that I can buy your time back and that your time is valuable and make an actual logical roi. So for me, when I look at my home analytics or conversations, maybe there is a usually some analytics Delphi team. If I send this to you, if you could make me and pace on the same plan, that would be sick. I know I don't deserve the immortal, but I won't use all the usage.
Features. I just want another. Another Advocate here for the main.
Man. Yeah, I just want basically when I come back, what's so useful is watch this is I could, if I do enough good a job this year and making content and being in my business and recording content in my business, then I could. We haven't done this yet. Next phase is set up stripe and have it do basically like onlyfans like monetization model where it's pay as you go or freemiumgate pay for usage, pay for A number of questions. And for me, I would probably give people for free access because what I want to give people is not a dumbed down version of me for free. And then to send people like less value for free to me is not the idea that like Hormozi's selling people on, right? He's trying to sell you on the idea of like more value than anyone can give. Like still give it. Like keep trying and iterating but make it free. And then he called it all at one time and inverted. Right? So to me, when I think of like is this a top of funnel piece that you start with? No, think of it as a CX or client or customer like facing try to get it to be as good as you and replace your time. Because whenever I like want to justify working on this more to the team, I'm like, hey guys, you know, Pace has said like he's super busy, you know, like he wants to at one point get out of the X role that he's in. I remember them. Hey, we've not created. That's what I would tell you guys. Delphi, I'll give you some marketing help. Time saved 139 hours. And then I would be asking on onboarding calls, hey Pace, like if you were to like do an hour consulting or like how much do you get paid to speak on stage? What's your time worth in an hour? And he says my time is worth. Right now Pace's time is worth, I don't know, 50,000 plus per hour. If he were to give a keynote, I actually don't know if he even like most of the time he either just does it for free or he says no. Right? That's normal. But if he were to be bought for money, let's just say his time is worth $50,000 per hour. And to make the math easier for me, I'm going to say 10,000 hours times 139. You guys can. Well, we'll do the math together. Been a long week. 1.39 million. And then I would have that number here is just like 1.39 million of potential revenue if you monetize this button to monetize it, right? And that's the framing that I will be using on a landing page just to see if eventually, if it gets as good as me, I can justify it again with my clarity. Like VIP. Oh, I did give you guys a hack. The VIP link gives. It gives you the ability to have 15 minutes for free no matter what. But I don't use this anymore, so don't look here. You can request calls here, but don't like, send message, I guess to me here. I won't see it most likely. So request calls. Do hit my calendar on my phone and if you need me and it's like urgent, this is the. How I say no to people is if I didn't want to do this, I'd be like, hey, is it because, like, you want to interview me because you're stuck? Or is it just like, we want to get to know each other? The fact you said just two ways instead of interviewing me made me like, okay, cool, this is the right thing. Because I don't need, you know, to do. I love to do free consulting, unfortunately. So I get myself in bad situations. So this is my, hey, I don't have time right now. I would love to do it. Just request a call, and then I know it's important and urgent to you because it's 16aminute. You think through your problem really quickly when you're on the phone with me, usually, unless you're extremely rich, in which case you don't need to care. But in general, this is what I like about the framing. And I love when people hop on and we can do a quick call. And I've taught them something or helped. So I always look at this and just like, cool. It's a blessing. It's a blessing to be able to come here. You guys can see that people have paid me money actually, like, not only like me, but usually find the advice useful. So with that being said, I know I shared a ton, dude. I would ask if in the comments, hey, how many of you guys comment below if even up to this point I've been useful or helpful or at least opened your mind.
Right? And I mean, Nick, one thing right before, of course, the comments, like, we use AI in a slightly different way. I mean, we've got our internal mechanism and it's called like the bybrain matrix, right? And what we essentially do is a similar process. But the only bottleneck is which I'M assuming this tool helps overcome is that it automatically populates the information and YouTube videos, right. What we do when we onboard a big client, right, we get all the YouTube videos, tweets as many assets as possible. And then we've got like an AI process that creates an extensive credit brief that we use for marketing collateral, if that makes sense. These are kind of like 47 to 50 pages long. I can show you an example. I'll show you an.
Example. Show me an example. I'm gonna get a water over here and I would love to see. Dude, showing me AI stuff is a love.
Language. I'll show you an example of one we crafted for a client that we are no longer working with. I'm open to show any details. I'm not too opposed. Let me quickly get these up. So this is for if I share my screen for people inside here Next does seem slightly more advanced and a step ahead. But yeah, Nick's getting some water when he arrives. So essentially right is we onboarded a client a while ago. It was for like a faceless content offer. He specializes in like viral content free using AI and stuff, right. And when we onboard clients, we've got like an extensive onboarding process that collects as much marketing collateral as humanly possible, right. In all avenues. And then we use that to craft this by matrix. And this is if we go in depth, right? This is like 57 pages long. That walks over pain points, direct quotations, desired benefits, objections, hesitation, psychological triggers, status based language and pains. And then it goes into extremely in depth about like current self identities, aspirational identities, rejected identities, things of success, internal conflicts, bro. If we receive like my copyright, by the way, like he's incredibly autistic and smart. His name is also Nick with.
A. With a C. Autistic. And let's.
Go. But he, but he creates these. And we create these processes for every single client. As onboarded. It got five most powerful emotions, biggest fears, five ways fears affects the relationships, hurtful things. Others say previous solutions tried what they don't want to do. Primary transformation. And Nick, by the way, like when this process is complete, right. I can actually show you. Let me show you something inside our mastermind.
Program. Now.
I. This is our mastermind program. We've got like.
A. Okay, you're chaining your process on market research.
Huh? Essentially, yeah. And here, right, My copyright done an extensive masterclass for our students. And it's like a five step process where we go over first the onboarding doc we got done for you templates for this and then gathering our ideal buyers. Exact words, of course, Amazon revenue. No, like reviews, sales calls, etc. The third pillar. If I find it. Where's the third pillar? Oh, we have the deep research doc, which we've also got done for.
You.
Yeah. Ideal buyer. Now go.
Ahead. What was. What was I looking at before this? Was that the deep research doc or just the surface.
Level? This was just like the surface level.
Doc. Yeah. 57 pages is the surface level. This is my type of market research. Yes. And. And like, yeah, buyer profiles. You have way more than just market research in here for.
Sure. Yeah. Because like I even watched. Of course. One of my favorite marketers of all time is Craig Clement was Golden Hippo. He's on a great in like amazing market. All right. And he's on a podcast with my first million talking about hijacking demands of your prospects. Right. And he just like the importance of market research. That spot. Like no. By the way, insane feature with who's the. My first meeting guys. Sam. What's up.
Guys? Name my first million Sam Par. And dude, I'm. I'm blanking Sam. I know better than Sean, right?
Yeah. Yeah. But they brought on Craig on their podcast was amazing. And he of course highlighted the importance of market research. Right. And of course it's the cornerstone of more of all marketing success. But we use this entire process. It's like a five step copy and paste system.
Dude. Yeah. And we're like Golden Hippo in the info space kind of thing or Agora. Mini Agora. I always say. See this is like when you. Honestly earlier when you said like we go deep here. This is really deep. Like for anyone who's. Who's watching this on my team, I love this and I have a. My next question is I get excited about this. This looks like my. My manual research doc and copy doc for Sigma societies about this many pages of manually typed out stuff before I got even to the AI. So to me that's where I go deep that I would love to shortcut and have a quick version of it if I needed in a pinch. So you guys can get to go to market. Like here's what I have. Know what I would assume about your agency to be true? You guys are probably one of the best agencies in the world. Quickly getting from client giving you money to turning the ads on and for them to be like happy and for the market to like immediately get it. Like you just hit tone market from day one. It seems like you.
Guys. Yeah. I mean we are iterations. Yeah. Like we are refining our processes day by day, right? By like our client onboarding process is so streamlined that like when we conduct this process and when we have an onboarding call with them, like under the onboarding call is like, we are ready to execute as quickly as humanly possible, right? Because like at the end of the day, these sophisticated prospects, they want to save as much time and effort as possible, right? And we are bridging that gap with a marketing asset like this. So this is just one example. Like, we create these for all our clients. And a piece like this, by the way, Nick, like I believe the one that you show me, it's a lot more effective in my opinion because I like the way to how it connects Twitter, YouTube and other social media channels. This is kind of like a foundational overview. Serves a similar purpose.
Though. Yeah, mine's, Mine's. I guess the way I would describe it is effective. I don't know, it depends on the team. Like, it depends what you're doing with this. Because if you're writing a 500 slide deck, this is more useful potentially, right? Because you don't know what mine is indexed and you guys have a, like a coherent game plan. Mine is more free flow and it's in the moment and it's. And it's up to date in the last 24 hours. So I can ask it what I did yesterday. So like the perfect version of Delphi, what will end up happening is I actually have two tools going the redundant audio right now, right? I can query that for this. Like, I can just say, what are we talking about in the current meeting? Give me 10 direct quotes. So if you know what you want, my tools are probably more.
Effective. Let's just.
Say. But if you don't know what you don't know or you're teaching, your process is probably should be adhered to and followed. And static. I think over dynamic is even preferred in some instances. For me, I would rather have a static report oftentimes than mine. In cases where I'm still trying to figure things out and someone's like, no, just follow this verbatim. That was like me doing content. Like if you told me, hey, we worked with a lot of creators, like, you're doing X wrong. All you got to do is just log in and hit super grock every day and then just say, respond all my DMs and then leave. I'd be like, oh, okay, that'll work. And they're. And you're like, yep. And I go, okay, I'll do that for 30 days and if it doesn't work for me then I strip it. That's my usually heuristic here. So this while certainly could maybe be refined for outsiders who aren't like a product of your system. If you were to expand like to me this is like sick. There's got to be a reason you do it in this order, correct?
Right. Of like.
Yeah. It's chronologically foldable as you mentioned. Right. Is this is a static piece created yawn is dynamic and real time meaning. Right. If like let's say now our client collects three killer testimonials like Namata Rosie Picture told the story emotionally. Right. We will need to change the buyer matrix. That's like our unique.
Mechanism.
Yeah. To feed it those new testimonials so it doesn't really auto populate those assets. That's something that's like a constraint of this system in terms of like onboarding the client and crafting some market collateral as quickly as possible like hijacking the hell out of the prospects minds. It is a good foundation for us. But like I like the ins and outs of the tool that you showed me. Like especially like I'm even considering it using it for me because like if I can now migrate my Twitter, YouTube and like I just create like because I've also got like a newsletter, I could just put all my newsletters inside there as well. Right. Like how would the process look like of like auto adding newsletters to the.
Tool? All right, sweet. I don't want to say that without checking with their team. So what I want to do is make it. I'm going to go in and get it a cost like do you mind like whatever it is, I'll quote you like hey, here's what the developers think and it could just be like no, we can just do that for free. But that's how I usually get feature roadmap clothes will be like well we're not prioritizing that. I'm like how about for $10,000 would you prioritize it this quarter so I'll get that cost and then maybe me and you split it or I buy from you. You buy from whatever you want. The thing is I just want it to be done faster. So I've just been waiting for this moment in AI where I can, you know, do I see like where we're going pretty well Because I've been thinking about this space for 5 years at least since Jasper AI.
Predated. So I mean Nick, like with like people serving clients as well Right. It's like them streamlining their fulfillment practices and bettering client results. A tool like you showed me that's going to absolutely not only improve their client results, but also improve the client retention. Right. Even for attracting business for themselves. Like me using this tool to put out tweets that speak to my dream ICP or create YouTube videos that speak to my dream ICP is only going to put me in like a much merrier position. Right. I think like honestly the tool that you show me is we've of course used Claude and stuff. But one thing that I'm that I super like is the integration with social media platforms and the auto population. That is like super.
Intriguing. Yeah. It has all the ones that are relevant to like us marketers right now. And if there is something now, if you get in early and you see the founder's vision like ask. I would say if anyone has any questions about whether you should build on Delphi still. And at this point, if you watch this far, I would be surprised if there is a better tool. But by better, usually people means it has an integration source that Delphi doesn't. I talk to Dara and their team all the time and like stuff is on the roadmap. Assuming that you want the same stuff as I do, I would advocate harder for it. You can, but you can ask his. I found some little workarounds to get their roadmap. Like you can ask his Delphi bot, which is public. I'm like what are you working on this quarter like that you're excited about. And instead of asking what's the Q4 feature? Roadmap. Right. So like they have to. And they seem like they probably wouldn't care anyway if a competitor came in there and tried to roadmap hijack or whatever. So like look at this stuff. I talked to him, Matt Riders, Deli and Cole's is getting his ready as we speak too. I'm just trying to have like the Avengers on my. Instead of all these tabs today, which is like chaotic content creation for me for sure. I'm just chaining and I open up a new tab. So it's all, it's never pre planned but I start the day fresh and then I just keep chaining so that I can remember at the end of the day on a screenshot, my chain of thinking of where I.
Went. So I by the way, I must say, like how do you focus with that number of tabs open? I would lose my mind, bro. I would lose my.
Mind. Yeah. So like I'm I'm focused right now. So like today I come into it with either there's two heuristics. And this brings me back to this.
One. Start.
Here. This is the critical path from yesterday of my focus. But on creation days when I'm doing content, it's just create. Are you creating? And I did I post in.
Here. Let's people are mentioning.
It. Nope, not that when I did.
Two and you only get one.
More. I've learned in here we go depends. Like here's how I focus. The only thing four matters. Growth operators. Like for you as an agency owner, I put like my found my foundations or concepts like whatever my worldview is in this box. These ones you can change. But generating strategy sessions, goal doing strategy sessions, executing. So like what's foundational for you? What are your values? How do you view the world? What is the primary action? Or what's the primary action right here? And then what is the goal? That is how you make your own version of that. Mine in creation mode. Is this the only three things that matter today? Writing, copy, making content. We're doing that right now. We're doing it like multiple times. And we can syndicate this. Talking to users, chat or call. We're doing that too. Should probably update to say that just talk. Talk to. You know, talk to network, talk to users. Same idea. Talk to customers, talk to sales prospects, Share insights to the whole team. So I am focused today by.
My definition of this, the.
Sheet. Interesting. Well is that like a daily process or like have you got one that kind of obliges with like a.
Monthly. Yeah. So the actual like my actual. Now my personal heuristic is. Is it this? This day is a bit of a blend. But for the most day this is a creation day. Heavy. If it goes over four hours on creation. I just look at this. This is printed in my office. But right now I'm at the airport about to go visit Pace in.
Nashville here for a.
Meetup. So I'm on what I would consider a manager schedule. And managers usually manage with like their calendar. So either this guides and focuses my day and I just flow through my day here. But the goal is always flow. So like no matter what, what focuses me is either my calendar or the three things that matter for me.
Personally. Intriguing. Intriguing. I know. No run on Twitter. He's kind of like a esoteric health coach, right? He says that he sets specific days for like specific accomplishments. Like one day, maybe the content day. One day maybe a sales call day. Right. Like how do you. What. What's been the optimal, like, split for.
You. I'm glad you asked. I'm gonna. I'm gonna find out by doing this, like, putting the reps in and ever everyone's got, like after. After I started mapping. Because what I do is usually research and sounds like maybe you're like me. You have a tendency to. To research as a first step before jumping into something again. Like a how person, how people like us end up teaching courses, helping with courses. So we just like to learn. And learners usually early in their life were given books. And books became a. What's called an inhibitor or a barrier to action. Right. You don't read a good book like Harry Potter, put it down and think of business ideas generally. I didn't at that point, thank God. So it was like, for me, I stopped. I only started reading Nonfiction around maybe 18 or 19 years old. Right. Around like college time up to that point. And even until I was 22, 23, I was primarily reading novels. Not. Not or like fiction, let's call it, versus non fiction. And then a certain point, my career, like, became the most important thing, I guess, post college. And it was primarily non fiction. Over. Over fiction. And I always get to think, like, with copywriting, we get to do both. Like, and that's probably why I love it. I get to write fiction and nonfiction at the same exact.
Time.
Yeah. And with me, like, even us doing this right now, like, you have those elements that you love about fiction and. And.
Nonfiction.
Right. That are both. Both here. So to me, that was various, maybe a more esoteric way of saying G cow. Like, is it a G cow day or is it a look at my three things that matter day for me? And to do that effectively. It took me like, I've been off of the org chart now for new reach again for six months. I've been on and off three different times as cmo, or let's call it CEO and then CMO twice. Let's just say for the sake of growth, operators out there. So, like running the show, everyone behind the scenes, my business partners in the spotlight versus me removing a personal brand and us publishing more brands versus us removing ourselves from the org chart and hiring a CEO to run the company versus us having to come back in and figure out how to work with each other again at a different stage. So I've seen pretty much every. Not every combination, but a lot of problems all the way up to the stage that we're at. But I never seen anyone do like $100 million on a launch like her Mosi this year like I'm. My mind's still getting blown and I'm learning things a ton. This has probably been the biggest year of learning and to learn well for me and to like actually distill it simply is a matter of just time and me putting in the reps of teaching. So by attempting to teach I. Sam Oven's like master designer. He usually comes up with the outline and we taught people to kind of chunk microchunk. I did that. It just like for whatever reason that is not helpful for people who have inductive reasoning processes. They still get stuck. So for Sam, he's like, you know, he would be like, no, just do it, do it my way. And that's the binary overpower like of just like either put a gun to their head kind of thing and teach them to do it my way or like me, if you want to give the nuance, which I will. It hurts me not to. Very, very few things are binary with me. If you want to give nuance, you have to think inductive. Reasoning loves flow, just like money loves speed. So whatever it is, you have to pre plan your flow and put you in an environment that is conducive to that is what I would say. And for me, GCAL allows me to flow through. As a manager, I can run to meeting a meeting, be like a few minutes late. I was a few minutes late into this one because I was coming from something. And yeah, in general I have my everyone else on my team's calendar up and I'm looking at it side by side, kind of like it's Tetris a little bit. Right. And at the end of the day I'm looking at Rise to see how you'll notice, like how I define productivity and rise is different. So right now we're in, yeah, we're I guess into my day. You can see my calendar over here and you can see kind of my productivity on the computer. And for me, because I have days like this all the time in our business, despite not being on the org chart, I'm often there when people come in and I like to help solve problems. So the, the Elon Musk version of you want to be a content creator, but you're running a business. Like how. How is Nick figuring this out or doesn't seem like he's figuring out. Whatever your perception is, the answer of how to do it is just turn, demonstrate and turn your day into content. And it requires a few things, but to me, like I've been creating content, I'M hitting my percent of target so far and it's just that I haven't documented any clients or projects or tasks today but I'll do that later. So to me this, this tool is helpful. So I always am just like execute and review and then iterate iteration loops and don't try to pre plan your productivity and focus. That doesn't work as well for inductive as it does dash and reasoning.
People. What's this tool by me right. It's my first time hearing about it. I think I've like.
I. Well I've used a lot of things historically over the years. This actually I am agency owners. Anyone who's an agency owner or was this was given to me and was so helpful when we had an agency and it's still helpful. Automatic time tracking is. Wasn't recommended to me but at some point like we weren't tracking time as an agency and they're like you guys don't get. I'm like I don't bill on time though. I'm like I get it. I used to work at PWC briefly and we would bill clients the time. So you had to. I was reprimanded for you know inflating client like numbers of just like oh we worked you know, eight hours on that client. They're like no in like 15 minute increments. What did you do? Because otherwise that's like fraudulent billing practice. So I just had always been aware of the idea. I just let go of it and most I hated time tracking. That's why I didn't want to do it. I was like no. If I found an automatic way to bucket my time that I could maintain flow I would do it. And I did with timecamp first which is what you're seeing here and then clock with CK K. I think 2Ks at the end does it for our team now and I'm testing out Rise as Rise AI as the next iteration of that something that integrates with rippling we have to use for our full company at scale. But what you want to get to is margin in relative real time ideally and if you can't get it into real time, 24 hour review cycles of just like where did my day go? How many like how many times have you spent way way too much time with a client who paid you less than another client who pays you.
More and doesn't require time Always.
Happens. That's the agency.
Owner. It's the number one problem I've observed in agencies is spending the wrong the right time with the right client in perfect. Like, I can't even do it even. And I'm the one who like, like closed half of them. I'm like, I know this client pays me more. But on a zoom call for, you know, things are urgent, they call you at 8. It's hard to say no. And a lot of agency people, especially your employees, if you guys are business owners, they just aren't used to it. They'll have to learn the client management side. And I was not good at it. I was doing some dumb stuff in the very beginning for clients. Like, anything, right? Anything for money. Now I'm like, okay, guard rails that guardrails this. But I would just look at these summaries and just be like, dope. This is, you know, I don't know what your kind of thought is on utilization rate versus productivity rate, but in general, I'm happy if over 50% of someone's like time is billable essentially internally. So to me I'm like, okay, that means roughly, like, I should have been higher. If I was working like inside my own agency. I should be at least four hours of billable client. Like, why would I have six hours of internal meetings or biz dev? I don't know that day? This is an example, but you get the idea. So in general, you're trying to get to that margin. And timecamp does it still. So does.
Clock. So does.
Rise. And there might be some others, but it helped dramatically. I was starting to catch. I'm like, we spent, you know, 40 man hours this week on our lowest paying client. What is going on, guys? Collectively. So, yep, that's. And it's done by keyword detection. And there's privacy features too. For anyone worried it basically, like right now, even mine is off currently and I need to fix it. But it's looking at my screen and screenshotting. If you wanted to for me, I do that. But you can turn that off and just have it basically bucket by keyword. Like, it's SEO. So you can be like keyword stuff. Astro flipping, Jamil Damji, like real keywords that are unique IDs in your URL for ad accounts. Everything I just stuff in there. And we would auto bucket and the whole team never has to worry about time reporting. And I can make accurate P and L decisions. So that is. That's the.
Benefit. Intriguing. Yeah. Like a much different approach to what we take. I think the.
Concept.
Yeah.
What's. What's your approach? I'm curious. Like, mine is based off of basically pure precision and Financial like decisions.
There. I mean, bro, we, the way that we structure the agency, I mean our team is very lean. Like we have got like a very lean informarketing agency. Like we've only got like a few. We've got like one copyright funnel building team tech guy, the system. Right. But the way that we structure the productivity tasks is like two weekly meetings, set expectations, go over what's been done and just what else is accountable. Yeah. Like to be honest, it's like super streamlined and it's been working like a channel for us. Like that being said, right? We're not like a 50 million, 100 million a year corporation.
Right. So like I like, it's hard to grow an agency and scale an agency to the level you can scale a brand to. Like it's very hard.
Operationally. Yeah. I heard someone say like a quote, like when you scale clients, you scale headaches. I kind of agree. Like every client comes with its unique questions, unique way of getting results. That's, that's super.
Intriguing.
Yeah. And my tap out point was around like 15, I was like, all right guys, this doesn't get easier for me. Even like you guys are in pods. I'm not like under this, like.
This. All of them.
Are. All of them end up calling me when you can't resolve their hardest problems. So like I'm the last filter and then agency owner like dies from a heart attack. Right. Or whatever happens after that. I was like, I'm getting.
That. Yeah. I mean like the beauty that like info marketing has created is like kind of you can begin optimizing it for quality like rather than quantity. Right. Like you don't need, let's say 10, 50 retainer clients that pay you 3, 4k a month. Like the way that we see ourselves. Right. It's kind of like having CMO like capabilities in his office and being responsible for multiple departments within it for product business, for example, front end conversion mechanism and like sales team consulting. Right. But the more we can do for a client.
Yeah.
Functional. It makes. Yeah. Yeah. So like the more it makes sense for that client to give away that probably that's why we don't really need let's say 15 partners. We're optimizing for a decent portfolio of these info brands. Right. That's the direction that we're.
Taking. Sweet. So this leads me to a very interesting question is you are well positioned to make the switch anytime you want to to to brand since you have functional. Because that's the main thing that agency owner with a bunch of Clients who's already like scrambled and like doesn't have time. How do I either launch my own personal brand or find someone to partner with and like do a, you know, do an equity split as opposed to take a retainer. You guys are already well set up. Like it's hard when you only have one piece of the puzzle everywhere. Like you got like your aces over on these clients and they manage the best clients and my people that manage the worst clients over here. So that's to me I don't know if that was strategic in that sense or why you guys did it. But I am curious as to what either the reasoning was or why where you're headed and from a leverage.
Point of view and escaping what to call the commodity bucket. Let's say now we were only specializing in media buying or we only done emails. Right. Extremely commoditized. This client can easily go to upwork fiverr, find a freelancer and like offload that workload for like super cheap. Right. But when you're responsible for now traffic creatives high quality lead generation, converting that lead, sending that lead, ensuring they attend their call and showing that they piff. Right. Like these multiple departments is where in a good way you kind of create that dependency effect but also maximizing the results for your clients. Right. So that's the direction that we're.
Taking.
Yeah. There's no client side black boxing or client side walls creative in the creative like now I'm up to speed because when I say media buying originally media buyers under me I I structure everything as expert generalists. So like they' basically directors of marketing and I have multiple of them and they all have their own strengths. However now we're in like hybrid let's call it in our, our work but we, we own it all. I'm trying to think if we're dependent on any contractors right now merchants.
Financing, that's the stuff that even financing.
What you do in house financing. But yeah that's for the most part like web providers, aws. That's that's it. That feels good. Right. It's like we can solve our own problems almost wholly. And that gives me. That's honestly the feeling that I that I didn't have running a marketing agency. We didn't have enough scope of service for me to feel like we had true moat with the client wait.
Service. In what.
Way? In like okay, so like the clients, I'll give you an example. The clients that we would typically get because I was known for BSL call funnel back at consulting. So Me coming out. The easiest thing I could sell or the thing people would want from me is either media buying or they just thought it was media buying or like Facebook ads. They would say, I need you to run my Facebook ads. I was like, okay, into what? Because I'm like, I'm not the best option for several different things. And for me, I already had that mindset and mentality of like, I'm just going to tell you the truth. Like, me and Sam pretty much just shoot straight. So I'm like, well, I'll tell you not to do something if I truly think it's dumb, but I'll give you choices if I think that maybe you need choices. So for me, I was like, okay, I'll do. I was like, yeah, I'm going to be good at it. If you're like, if you're doing a VSL call funnel and basically I'll show you the old growth model. I'm like, if basically you have something like this. Russell. Need to tell Russell that I have is old. This is not up to date. I made a copy of it, but his old funnel board, which is super useful. And I found that the useful game is here. I'm like, all right, guys. Like, yes, I'm good at Facebook ads, but if you're not doing something.
Like.
This, then, like, if you can't find you don't. Your offer doesn't categorize into any of these buckets. Like, and it's in my cool funnels. Like, this means I'm not good at it. And I haven't explored events. We're good at that now I'm not. But our team is like. But I wouldn't have done an event funnel. I would have been like a Charlemagne Fear. Want someone who's done real estate like Legion and directly to a seminar or an.
Event.
Right. I would have referred them. I would refer to people to like, Eddie Maloof at Bad Mike Buentempo. Like other agency owners who are just better. Because I care. I care about the client, even if they're not my client, which. Yeah. So like invisible funnels. That means I just, you know, a funnel that's. I haven't pinpointed how it works yet, which is kind of funny. So these are the things that I was maybe getting. Like, people were reaching out and I wanted to maybe learn, but I knew, like, weren't.
My.
Really. These should have had tags with probably the. If I was more buttoned up as an agency owner, the partner. Right. That I would refer them to. And I would have asked for a referral fee. I wasn't that smart yet. And I'm still not. Like, I just dropped a lot of Delphi praise without an affiliate link, so I'm still learning. But.
Yeah, but honestly, I mean like even just getting the feature out, like, I mean the insides out of the tool is going to captivate a lot of people. Like for real, like it just even captivated me, you know. So like just the exposure online, I think it was a huge epiphany moment I've received because like of course it's all about leverage. And a tool like that, it does create that leverage. The fact that it's auto populated, you know, so we'll be of course taken a more in depth look into that, man. Like, I appreciate you showing me the ins and outs of it, but Nick, my man, it was a pleasure finally connecting. I have heard a lot of good things and it was of course great for us to digitally connect. This one was more of a randomized, sophisticated conversation. But yeah man, I'll be more than open to doing like a more like laid out one with like clear questions and guidelines. But yeah man, I believe it was a very insightful.
Conversation.
Right. Like the, the prepared one. Like if something that you see now, now I just showing you a bunch of stuff now, I kind of know our skill sets in depth. I definitely need help with again the acceleration and pulling that concept to. To fruition of the who how combination. Basically you can tell like Delphi is my how and that clay skin is my who and then where they're headed. If someone can help me with that, that's the master plan. The or let's call it step phase two of my four step master plan.
Here. So there's balloons coming in a zoom meeting. Balloons are here, celebrations are being.
Made. Yes. All the balloons came up 100 and these right. I.
Love. Wait, wait, I think that's like the thumb up the actual too.
Close. There's two thumbs up, one thumb up, two thumbs down, one thumb down. This makes it rain. This makes it fireworks. This makes it lasers. This makes it hard. So you guys, I'll do that another day. I trained the team ever on zoom visual cues. It's probably low grade priority here, but there we.
Are. There are, there are specific articulations who evoke emotions. There we.
Are.
Yes. Nick, my man, once again I'm gonna say bro, absolute pleasure. And yeah man, I'll keep in a loop of how all the distribution goes. We'll run another one in like another time because I know that there's specific buckets that we can go away, you know, like even touching on paid ads, conversion mechanisms, essentially, whatever the mechanism is. Right. There's so many topics that we can touch on, but. Yeah, man, it was great.
Man. Talk soon, man.
Bye. All.
