In this presentation, the speaker urges agency leaders to allocate time and resources toward AI automations, emphasizing that the risk‑reward profile is heavily skewed toward upside. The downside of dedicating 5‑20 hours per week to AI work is limited to modest reductions in billable hours, slight drops in utilization, and a few thousand dollars in unrecovered salary costs. Conversely, the upside can be massive; the speaker illustrates this with a hypothetical 1,000‑hour investment to build a proposal‑generation AI that could eliminate the need to write proposals entirely, delivering an asymmetrically large return on the initial effort.

This is one of the main things that I'd love for you to take from today's session is that investing in AI for your agency right now has an incredible asymmetrical risk. There's very low downside. If you or your team spends 5 or 10 or 20 hours per week working on AI automations and workflows, your downside is really just a little bit less billable work, maybe a little bit less utilization. Maybe you spend a few thousand dollars a month on salary that you're not going to recoup. Right? The downside is actually very low. The upside is a hundred— it's asymmetrical. And I want to give you an example of this. Let's imagine you spend 1,000 hours building a proposal generator. You might think, gosh, that would be a huge investment of my time and money. But I want to pose a question of what if you never had to write a proposal ever again in your life? Would that upside not be asymmetrical?
