Right now, there's a lot of AI gurus out there. Some of them are making legit content, but most of them are complete frauds. And the problem is that most people can't tell the difference.
So, in this video, I'm going to rank every major AI guru from worst to best, and I'm grading each one based on how valuable their content is, how much experience with AI they actually have, how authentic their promises are, and most importantly, the results their students are actually getting from what they're telling them to do. And I'm doing this because when I started, I spent $1,000 on a guru that promised me a lot but taught me literally nothing. And I don't want you to waste your money or time like I did. So don't worry, I'm not doing this to promote a shitty course, masterclass, or community. My AI agency, Gym Members Now, has made over $26 million. So I really don't need to sell you anything, which means I have no reason to go easy on anyone. Let's begin.
So here we are at the tier board of truth. And so first, what I want to go over are the rules and how I'm actually going to be grading all these AI gurus. The first thing we're going to be going over is is the actual content they make valuable. And what I mean by that is, for example, just showing my content. What you can see in this playlist right here are videos of me closing real business owners and selling them AI agency services. And this video right here alone has me closing over a million worth of revenue from these customers. And so this entire playlist here has examples of me closing people for literally as much as $31,000, $1,500, $16,000. And so my point is this is really where the rubber meets the road is it's not difficult to make tools and do stuff with AI. It's become easier than ever before to do stuff like that. The real question is are you actually capable of running successful marketing that is not making YouTube videos but actually doing cold calling, running paid ads, and getting people to book calls with you or your team. And then are you capable of actually closing them on the services that you're teaching people to build or provide? Right? And so that's what we're going to be looking for specifically here is does their content actually show them doing the thing that they're teaching people to do.
Second is credibility. So do they have verifiable proof online of them actually providing the services that they're telling people to provide to businesses or people? And so really what this looks like if we look at my business here is you can see if you look up gym members now you click on our Google reviews what you're going to see is people leaving us reviews all the time saying what their experience was like working with my company etc. And then if I even go over here to Exponential Brands, preferred vendors, Exponential Brands is a massive conglomerate which owns Club Pilates, Stretch Lab, Pure Bar, Rumble, Yoga Stick, BFT. These are some of the biggest gym chains in America. If we go to their preferred vendor list, what we will see here is that my company, Gym Members Now, is right there, right? And if I click on the link to the website, it's going to take me directly to my website, right? They have over 3,000 brick-and-mortar gym chains in America, and they even have them in Canada. And so if you go to my Facebook page, right, what you'll be able to see is if I go to filter here and go back to 2019, you're going to be able to see that I was making post about helping gym owners with my company, Gym Members Now, even back then, doing the exact same thing that I am doing now, which was helping them get leads, nurturing those leads, leveraging automation and a team. Back then it was just automation and a team where now it's AI, but it was doing the exact same thing where you can see this is me right here. I was invited to go do a speech in front of a bunch of gym owners, right? And so we're going to be looking to see on that if they've actually got credibility.
Now, so authenticity, really what we're going to be going over with this one is, are they legit or are they a fraud? And what I mean by that is, is what they're saying they're making money from legit? And so what a lot of these AI gurus will do is they will say that they're making $100,000 a month from providing AI services to local brick-and-mortar businesses when in reality they're making $100,000 a month from selling information courses to people that are aspiring entrepreneurs that want to build an AI agency. In reality, they make zero dollars from actually providing the services that they're teaching people to provide to legitimate businesses. And so the way that we're going to be able to do that is just by looking at do they show proof of income, right? And right, I'm claiming to have made over $25 million right in this video. So, what I want to first show you is just proof of that.
Okay, so this is a payment processor that my company switched to back I think like 22 months. Now, the cool thing about it is it charges the customer the transaction fees where Stripe does not. You can see here we've processed over $5 million in this account alone. This is the live account for that one. I can't pull the last like 22 months, but what I can do is the last 12 weeks, right? I can do the last 14 days. So you can see right there, this is one of our payment processors. And now if I go back over here, what I can show you is this is Allen, an account that we ran over $839,000 through. This was another account on Allen, 400K. Another account, 72K. Another account, one of our biggest accounts, 4.8 million. Another account, 682K. Another account, one of our biggest, three million. Right now, if I go over to Stripe, what you can see here is gym members. Now, these are screenshots of our Stripe account. 6.55 million, right? I told you I I switched off of Stripe. We no longer use it. We just use Sense and Deposit. Another one, another one right here. So, these two, one right here, one right there, and then finally, one right here, one right there. And if you look at all of those, or if you go back, right, you're going to see the name of my business, gym members now in all of those.
And so, that's key. And then finally, results. What results do they actually get the people they teach? Okay? And so simple example of this, right, is I've got these videos of people that I'm helping and I'm just showing you mine to show you an example of what this looks like. These are basic things, right? But what we're going to see here is that most of these people don't have a lot of the stuff, right? And so again, just going through, right, you can see here, these are people that we've helped back in the day. I even helped my brother start an AI agency and he's made over a million dollars, right? So, like these are all people that I've helped because what I'm ultimately trying to do is build a portfolio of AI agencies to then exit for a massive multiple. But, nonetheless, that's the grading criteria that we're going to be going over. So, let's jump into it.
All right, guys. So, this is going to be the first person that we review, which is Carson Reed. Okay. And so, really, the main thing we're looking at here is, you know, his most popular videos. The first thing we're going to review is the content. And his most popular videos are all about how he's made a lot of money selling AI at 18. Okay? And so if we just kind of like click into one of these videos and even listen for a second on the intro, it's going to be very telling as far as if he's legit or not. All right, so let me mute this and we will run it.
All right, guys. So within just the past 8 days or so, I've made just around $67,000 with my AI business. And I'm currently 18 years old and I don't have a degree. I'm not that special. I've never been smart. I never got great grades in school and I don't know how to code. And this has all been through selling AI to local businesses and you know just through my own AI agency that I started. And >> okay, so number one, if you look right here, he just said he's made 100K whatever selling AI to local business owners. Who would name their business 100KI agency.com? If you're providing AI services to local business owners, it makes literally no sense at all. And then in addition to that, [ __ ] is not a payment processor most people use. [ __ ] is a payment processor traditionally used by gurus, by people that sell info and coaching. It's not a payment processor used by most because most people that try to use Stripe that are gurus that sell info and coaching typically get banned from using Stripe because they have such high chargebacks. And when you're charging people $5 to $20,000, which is what he does, and you have somebody charge back, payment processor will lock your money up. And so [ __ ] found a a gap in the market. And that's really what Wobb specializes in is servicing people that sell info and courses, right? And not to say there's anything wrong with doing that. It's just this is a dead giveaway that that's exactly what he's doing, but he's lying about the fact that he actually runs an AI agency providing AI services to local brick-and-mortar business owners. We can't find anywhere the name of uh a business outside of 100kai agency.com. And if I look up right 100K AI agency, what we're going to find is nothing about real brick-and-mortar business owners talking about their experience while working with them. All we're going to see are people talking about their experience working with them to start a AI agency, right? And they also, it looks like they've deleted some reviews, which is another common thing is they will pay people a lot of money to remove reviews, which is something that you can kind of get away with on Trust Pilot, but with on Google, it's not really something you can kind of get away with. But right, if you read all of this, all they're talking about is their experience while working with them to actually learn how to build an AI agency, right? So, if we just look at their content, right, I'm sure that they probably have some content on their channel that is valuable. I'm not going to say that it's not all valuable. But what I will say is when somebody's just lying, right, straight up lying about what they're doing, it's extremely dangerous. And these guys actually learn from another guy on this list, cuz Carson and Wyatt are the same people. And so this guy, they're business partners, but they actually learned from one of these guys on this channel or or on this list right here, which I will get into in the video. But again, the main thing here is like he said at the start, he's made all this money from providing AI services to local brick-and-mortar business owners when in reality, he has not at all. Right? So I'm just going to give him an X on here.
Credibility, right? Do they have actual proof, Google reviews from real uh local brick-and-mortar business owners? The answer is no. Right? If I go back to his channel and just go to, you know, all his videos, you're not going to see videos on here of customers talking about their experience while while working with him. And even if I go to Facebook, I can remember you're you're also not going to see anything that he's posting on his Facebook. He doesn't even have a Facebook, I don't think anymore, where he used to have one, and he did have some like videos and stuff on there when he was actually trying to start an AI agency. But what he realized was that building an AI agency is extremely difficult and it's just easier to sell information to people that are aspiring business owners. And this is his business partner right here where you can see again all of his content is literally about just teaching people how to start an AI agency, right? Has nothing to do with bringing in local brick-and-mortar business owners to book calls with their business to become customers where they would actually provide them real legitimate services. is the services that they're teaching people to provide. All their content is about is trying to get customers to pay them money to teach them how to start an AI agency of their own, right? And I think the these guys claim to be 18 or 17. And so it looks like he even lied about his age on here. I don't know, someplace they're lying, right? But regardless, these guys have gotten away with lying and they've made a significant amount of money by doing that.
And so, right, the authenticity, are they legit or are they a fraud? I think that's pretty simple. They're definitely they're frauds. They're full of [ __ ]. And then results, right? What what results do they get for the people that they teach? And so the the real question comes down to this. Do you really want to pay somebody 10 plus thousand dollars to learn how to do something that's just straight up lying about it, right? And almost running like a Ponzi scheme on the back end. They're just completely being deceptive. My answer to that would be no. Cuz like I said earlier, I spent money on a course, $1,000 to somebody that also kind of did this, and I literally learned nothing. Because the difference between actually running a business like this and not and just trying to teach people is the fact that one person's actually done it and they totally understand the details and the nuance that comes to having success. The other person's just searching for information online trying to stitch it all together and provide something based off what they think works and then they're just having people almost like they're guinea pigs try things out and then they're saying, "Oh, that didn't work for them. This worked for them." and they're just stitching it together, not based off their own anecdotal experience, but based off what they're surveying and seeing other people do. That's pretty [ __ ] up in my opinion, right? And so for Mr. Wyatt and Carson, I am going to give them a D for dog [ __ ] because they're just lying. And th these people need to be stopped because this is how prolific, right, people commit frauds and scams, right? Like there are young guys making a ton of money getting away with it. Do you think they're going to stop doing it? No. Because this is how they figured out how to make money. This is what works for them. They're not going to stop. They're going to keep doing it. There's no question about it. And that's partially why I'm making a video like this is so that people don't make the mistake of giving them their money. And then in addition to it, I hope these guys see it so that they know that it's on notice, that people can see it, and that people aren't that dumb, right? Just do it the real way. Just be honest, right? Like if you haven't actually made the results, that's fine. But you can still help people. Just don't lie about it, right?
And so the next person that we're going to look into is Mr. Liam Otley. Now, Liam is one of the biggest AI gurus in the space and he has almost a million subscribers and he has tons and tons of views on his videos and he's kind of like one of the first people that really entered the AI space. And so Liam has a business called Morningside AI. So this is the the business where he actually provides AI services to business owners. This is his business where he teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to build an AI agency just like him with Morningside AI. Okay. And so when it comes to what we're looking at, right, is is the content actually valuable? Okay. So, one thing with his content, cuz I have watched uh a decent amount of his stuff is it is good content when it comes to details around how to actually use AI to build and provide services. But again, the rubber meets the road at actually selling these services to real business owners. And so one thing I will say with his channel is you're not going to see sales calls of him closing deals. And in addition to that, I can remember he had this one video where he was like, I did a $50,000 AI audit. And I've also seen other videos where he literally says he does no marketing and 100% of his lead for his AI agency and his info business come from his YouTube. And so the issue here in my opinion is the fact that he's not under the same constraints that anyone else he's teaching how to do this is. And so what I mean by that is if you're an individual looking to learn from Liam, you don't have a 785,000 person YouTube channel, right? He's not running paid ads. He's not doing cold calling. He's not doing cold email, cold DMs, cold outreach, anything like that, cuz he literally doesn't have to because he's built this YouTube channel talking about AI. And so business owners naturally are coming to him. And so the fact that he was able to sell a $50,000 AI audit is incredible. That's awesome. But he would not have been able to do it if he did not have this YouTube channel. And there's no way in hell you would ever be able to do that either. There it's just not possible. And the issue here again is the fact that he's not going to be able to teach you how to actually build an AI agency unless you're under the constraints that he's under, which are having massive leverage with a massive YouTube channel. And so this is kind of like a split one right here on the content where I think his content is absolutely valuable if you're trying to learn how to actually use AI to build the tools and to provide services to people and businesses. But when it comes to marketing your business without any proof of concept, without any prior results, without any experience, right? When it comes to actually selling cold prospects that have no clue who you are and don't trust you and don't like you and don't think that you can actually help them because you have no proof of concept, I do not think that this is going to be valuable. So, I'd say it's a split on that.
Credibility. Do they have verifiable reviews? So, this is a little bit interesting when I kind of looked into this because again, one thing with him, right, is he's definitely worked with a lot of businesses, I would bet, just because of how much volume and traffic he gets from his YouTube channel. But, if you look at this, right, I was talking a little bit earlier about how people will delete reviews. And this is a really interesting review, literally the first review they have, which is deleting my review because you you think you're above the consumer law by contracting out of the CGA. I'll pull it back up because I just remembered what contract your agency sent me. And so if we see this where you weren't sure what the meaning of the Fair Trading Act 1986 or the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and you agreed a contract out of the Consumer Guarantees Act. Okay. So I mean it just looks like they they broke the agreement they had with this person which is again very odd. The very unusual thing with this is the fact that they only have seven reviews, right? Like this guy has 700 almost a million subscribers on YouTube. like he's probably worked with a lot more people or maybe he really doesn't do anything here and this is possibly just a front for his info coaching program. I don't know, but we're going to dig more into that. There's just really not much here of them talking about like what they actually did for them. And then all the other reviews are just this just stars. So, for example, right like let's compare this to my business where you know we actively work with over 500 gym owners right now. And so if you just look at some of the reviews people leave us, they're very extensive and people are talking about exactly what we do for them, what we provide for them, and the results we got them because we're providing a service. People are talking in depth about their experience while working with us and what their experience was like working with my team because I myself am the owner of the company and I built the company to a point now where I don't do the work, right? I I have a team, a full team that handles it from marketing, sales, onboarding, fulfillment, backend, all of it. And so it's also unusual that this person said like Liam's one of the most incredible individuals as if they work directly with Liam because if he runs a legitimate AI agency that you know services hundreds of customers, chances are he has a team that's handling it and probably not him, right? So I'm not 100% sure on that, but the credibility here is very light. He does have some, but again, I'd probably say this is like a half score. And it is a little bit fishy that he's deleting reviews because again, it's just weird, right? It's questionable.
Authenticity, are they legit or a fraud? And so, I'm not gonna say he's a fraud because he he isn't claiming to make, right, hundreds of thousands of dollars from his AI agency like the other guys are, right? Like, he's very open about the fact that he runs an AI agency and he also runs a coaching program. But these guys are just completely right lying about it and they have no proof of it at all where at least he does have some proof of that.
And then if we just go over to the results, like what do what are the results for people that actually work with him? And so, you know, he has a massive group on school where it's it's a free group. I think it's one of the biggest groups, right? He's got like 316,000 people in this group and I've scrolled through it and people do get good results. But again, the main thing that you kind of have to ask yourself is, do you want to learn from somebody who is not under the same situation you're under? Right? Like if you have a massive YouTube channel, then of course like he's a great person to learn from. But if you don't have a massive social media following and you're starting from scratch, you have no social proof, you've never actually provided services to business owners, you have no idea how to do marketing when it comes to paid advertising, cold calling, cold outreach, any of that stuff, I would avoid it from him because he himself has not done it, right? He he he said it himself. He doesn't do any advertising. All of his leads come from his YouTube channel. I literally heard him say that in a YouTube video. And so good for him, right? I I think based off this, I would probably put Mr. Liam at like a B because again, I think his content is valuable specific to building stuff. It's not valuable specific to the average Joe when it comes to actually getting customers and acquiring them because he isn't the average Joe. He has a massive YouTube channel. And then again, the authenticity, I think he's legit here. I don't think he's lying about anything. He's an honest guy, which is very important. And then the results I I think are pretty good. uh you know when you work when you have over 400,000 people or 300,000 people in your group, you would hope some of them would be somewhat successful and kind of figure some of the stuff out on their own, you know, cuz like with the guy that I made that I paid $1,000 to and didn't really learn anything. He still took credit for my success because I was in this group that he had talking about what I was doing and I was trying to figure it all out on my own, but the advice he gave me was not what allowed me to get to the point that I'm at now. Right? I was just determined to figure it out and that's the case for a lot of people when it kind of comes to this. But we'll move on to the next one.
Okay, so moving on to Mr. Nick Serev. I think that's how you pronounce his name. And so in this case with Nick, he is definitely very knowledgeable when it comes to AI and digging into that, figuring out how to leverage AI and new AI tools to the the most of their ability and really squeeze the juice out of them. His content is very deep and detailed when it comes to everything. I've watched some of his stuff and I've definitely learned things from him and he he has a really good way that he goes about explaining things in simple terms. And so me personally, I have learned a lot of stuff from him and I would say his content is valuable.
The credibility like do they have verifiable proof? So, when it comes to the verifiable proof, the really cool thing I think about Nick is the fact that he's been completely honest about his whole situation from the beginning, right? Where you can see right here, like, I made 48,000 last month. Here's how. And so, he's literally talking about when he was running his business, his business, which was a agency providing services to other business owners. Talking about what he did, right? And so, he started making YouTube content about this. Basically what happened for him is his YouTube channel absolutely exploded and he was documenting what he was doing and then he started teaching people how to do what he was doing. He was very honest about that like hey I'm making this much money here with my agency. I'm making this much money here teaching people how to do what I've done with my agency. And I can remember seeing the content like that just thinking like wow this is not common at all. Like this dude's actually not lying you know he's just being very open and honest. And so he started making so much money from his business, Maker School, where like if you just do the math on here, right, he's probably making between 200 to 400K a month with like 90% margins from this business, right? So he's probably making like $300,000 a month in profit directly into his pocket, all from this. He's not running any ads. It's all coming from his YouTube channel. And he was honest about the fact that he stopped running his agency because he's just making so much [ __ ] money from this, right? and making YouTube videos and and running a business like this is way easier than actually providing services to real brick-and-mortar business owners. And I think he still does to some extent do some stuff like that with his company called Leftclick. But again, right, his his whole focus now is really this business and helping people to do what he did do. And so when it comes to right, like does he is he credible? Does he have verifiable proof? The answer is he doesn't have verifiable proof anymore really of it. I think left click is something, but it's not like all over the place, right? Like if you were to look up leftclick reviews, right? I I don't really think there's a whole lot of stuff here. Um, right. So whether that's real or not, I don't know. It looks a little bit odd, right? You would think someone with that many views would probably have it, but I know for a fact based off looking at his old stuff that he was actually doing the thing he's teaching people to do. And he did it to a level where I think he got to like over 50k a month, which is a decent amount of money for sure in a business. He basically got to the point where it was just like a oneperson business. He probably had a couple contractors, but he wasn't a he wasn't actually able to get it to a point where he had a team of people doing all the work where he was removed. But again, the thing I like about him is the fact that he is authentic and he didn't lie about it. He was honest and truthful about all of it, right? Like top to bottom.
And the results that he gets for people, if you look at some of his uh videos, he does get people good results. The only thing I will say is that all of his leads now again are going to be coming from his YouTube channel. And so the stuff that he taught people how to do right back two years ago, right, like this email marketing campaign made me 100k last year, right? The strategies here may still work, but more than likely they're antiquated and don't. So he's not under those constraints that most people are under. And so because of that, I would just give him an A tier cuz I think that's I think that's where he should be almost like S. If he was still running it, you know, I I think that would be fair to say an S, but just looking into the leftclick stuff, it's hard to kind of say, you know, it doesn't look like there's a whole lot out there about it.
All right, so this next one we're going to be reviewing is Mr. Connor Cahill. If we look at one of his most popular videos, his most successful video, I sold 87 AI receptionist in 30 days, $497 per month clients. This will kind of give us an idea of, you know, what we're kind of dealing with right here. So, let's jump into it.
In this video, I'm going to show you exactly step by step how I sold 87 air receptionists within 30 days in my local area. I sold each one for $4.97 a month. So, how did I do this? Well, first of all, I got 210 booked calls on my calendar. That's 210 businesses who were interested in buying air receptionists from me. So, first I'm going to show you how I got those 210 book calls. And then I'm going to show you how I close 41% of them. Right? I got 210 people to book onto my calendar in a 30-day period. Close 41% of them, which is 87 new clients. 87 new clients times 497 a month equals around $43,000 in recurring revenue. Now, just so you know, I'm not bullshitting you. I'm recording this in late December. So, we'll go to like November 20th. Here we have 4,000. This is all payouts to my bank in the last 30 40 days. 4K, 1K, 2K, 4K, 9K, 400K, 28, 4K, 1 day, 4K, 6K, 4K, 2K, 1K, 1K. That's all within the >> Okay.
So basically what he's saying is that he's made hundreds of thousands of dollars selling AI receptionist to business owners, right? So like brick-and-mortar business owners. And so I kind of paused it there and stopped it, but number one, he's using [ __ ] which is another red flag. Number two, the name of his business is Agency Vault. Let's say you were a gym owner and a company called Agency Vault reached out to you to provide services to your business. Would that make sense to name your business that if that's what you're trying to do is help local business owners providing services to them? No. Now, if you were looking to start an agency and learn how to start an agency, do you think the business name Agency Vault would make sense? Yes. Right. Of course, it would make sense. And now, if we just look in his description, you can see book a call to start or scale your AI agency. We're not seeing anything here about agency vault at all or or about his AI agency that he's claiming to have. And if I just click on this link right here, right, it's all about his coaching program and starting an AI agency. And you can even see right here, Agency Vault LLC, right? And so doesn't really make much sense, right? Like in this video, he's saying Agency Vault is the business that's providing AI receptionist to business owners. But then also right here, it's connected to this marketing funnel and landing page that's teaching people how to start an AI agency where they can book a call with him to be sold on how to start an AI agency. And so if I just look up Agency Vaults on Google, what we're going to see is that he does have some reviews. But if we really look into these reviews, what we're going to see is it's people again, they're not saying much at all. Kind of like the other one we saw with Liam, which does not make a lot of sense. And as you can see, everyone here is kind of talking about like their onboarding experience. And so what I think they're doing is right after they onboard a customer, they're asking them right away to leave a review. They're not asking them to leave a review after 90 days, 120 days, half a year of working with them to teach them how to build an agency. They're just asking them after they onboard them before they even get started, right? They walk me through the process. I'm eager and ready to start. And although I know the world does not revolve around me, I would like to start ASAP, right? So, this guy's trying to learn how to start an AI agency. None of these reviews are talking about the services that they provide to business owners. It's just very, very odd, right?
So, when we look at like is the content actually valuable, I don't agree with someone that's lying and blatantly lying about stuff and all the money he's making here, right, is based on a lie. And so, in my opinion, I just write that off because I'm not going to trust somebody that's blatantly lying to me.
The credibility, do they have verifiable proof? No, he doesn't have verifiable proof. And also, if I go to his Facebook page, it there he is. And the pictures he has on his profiles are just unusual. But his his page is is blank, right? Like he doesn't really have anything on here. And it looks like he's removed all of the content that he used to have, which makes no sense at all, right? So like there's just really nothing to see here. There's no real credibility online. He has no videos of customers talking about their experience while working with him or anything like that, right? Like if I go to my page, what you're going to see is that I have literally hundreds of reviews and videos of me talking with customers about their experience while working with my company and how we've been able to help them. And so with that being said, I'm going to put Mr. Connor Cahill here at the bottom of the pack with a big D for dog [ __ ] just because he's blatantly lying about what he does and I don't agree with that. I think it's insane.
So the next person we're going to be looking at is Mr. Jack Roberts, who's recently grown a lot on YouTube. And so, first thing we're looking at, right, is the content valuable? Do they have credibility, authenticity, and results? And so, number one, the content is extremely valuable. I've learned a lot of stuff from his content. And he definitely knows what he's talking about. He's very knowledgeable in the space and he has a lot of experience. There's no question about that. The credibility, he does have credibility. He has built and sold a company before and he's built recent companies as well. The main thing with him, however, is the main business that he makes money from and really goes all in on is his school community. Similar to Nick, where he's got, you know, 2.4K people paying him 77 bucks a month, whatever that is. Bottom line is this guy's making over 100 grand a month in profit, all from his YouTube channel, funneling that traffic over to his school community where he's teaching people how to do what he does. And so, like, there's verifiable proof of all of that. The only thing I will say, right, is the constraints that this guy's under compared to most are very atypical simply because he has a massive YouTube channel that gives him insane leverage, right? Like think about this real quick. This guy makes videos on YouTube and he's making probably between a hundred to $200,000 a month in profit all from his YouTube channel and this group, right? He's providing a lot of value in there, but it's all coming from his YouTube channel. He doesn't have to do any other form of marketing. That's literally it, right?
Authenticity. Are they legit or a fraud? This guy is legit 100%. One thing he will say in his stuff though is like he runs a 100k a month AI business. He doesn't say AI agency. It could be slightly I think confusing I think to someone who's not really familiar in the space just because right like his 100k a month AI business is this teaching people how to you know build things with AI and how to provide services to businesses with AI which again you know he's being completely honest and transparent about it but I think for some people it could be taken the wrong way where they're assuming like oh he's doing 100k a month providing AI services to business owners when in reality right it's all coming from this and then results right what good results do they get uh the people they teach. He does get people good results. I've seen the results that he does get people on YouTube and it's it's good stuff. Like this guy is legit. He knows what he's doing and he's definitely been in the space for a little while. So, with that being said, I would give him a uh you know what, I'm going to give him an S actually just because I think he is really solid.
All right. So, the next person that we're going to be looking at is Mr. Sergeari. All right. And so, we really look at Serge's content. I think the main thing that we notice is with him, he used to run an agency a long long time ago. And really what ended up happening is he was only able to get it to 30K a month. And then what he switched to was teaching people since he made YouTube videos, he had the ability cuz people were coming to him to start teaching people how to do what he was doing. And so he switched and transitioned over to selling information to people on how to start an agency. And he only got his agency to 30K a month. And he said in some of his videos that he was barely making any profit from that business. And so he's honest about that which is awesome, right? Like he's honest about really what ended up happening. But this is a guy that, you know, ran the business a long long time ago. And now, right, if we go to his latest stuff is it's just all in my opinion, it's all like fluff. It's all marketing really to just get people to like book calls with him and to basically be sold a coaching program on how to start a business that he hasn't run in over 5 years. And so one thing that I have an issue with when it comes to stuff like this is again if you haven't actually run the business in 5 years, you don't know how to run the business anymore, right? But even if you're teaching people how to do that all that, right, you still don't know how to do it. A lot of his videos talk about build and release. Build and release. That's kind of like his his thing is a build and release model. AI infrastructures. And so I had a guy come to me that wanted my help to become a partner to help him build an AI agency. And he had actually worked with this guy. And so what I'm showing you right now is the ad account. So this ad right here is the ad that I built for him. It's named Growth Infrastructure, but this is the ad that I built for him where you can see we're getting leads for $58 going after Medba. Okay. If you look at these other ads right here, these are the ads that they built for him and ran. He literally spent $1,387 and got a a lead. Okay, you look at these other campaigns, he spent a lot of money and basically didn't he didn't sign anyone up and and in addition to that, right, what he also did is he ended up paying them tons of money as well. So, he paid them over 10 grand and spent over four $4,500 and didn't get a single customer. Okay, with with the campaign I built for this guy to help him right away, as you can see, he was getting leads where if we just look at yesterday, he literally got 18 leads and he has tons of appointments and he only spent $81. And so that's the difference between actually knowing what works right now versus knowing what worked back in the day. And to get to 30K a month with a business like this is not difficult. That's beginner level stuff, right? And so that's really all he got to and then he ended up pivoting out. And so you have to ask yourself, he's teaching people how to build an AI agency when he doesn't currently run an AI agency himself. And when he did run his agency, right, AI really wasn't around then. And I'm not even sure if he used automation or anything like that. For my agency, I was one of the first 200 people to use Go High Level, which is a software that helps you provide automation, lead nurturing, a ton of AI services to to businesses within the platform you're using, which is GoHigh Lee. And I was using automations even back then and nurturing leads back then and doing everything I'm still doing to this day. I've just evolved it and automated it now with AI, right? Rather than having real people do it, right?
Credibility. Do they have verifiable proof? No, because he doesn't actually run an agency right now. Authentic. Yes, he is authentic. He tells the truth. It's not like he's lying or anything like you know these guys right here. He's being straight up and honest about the money he's making. However, right, if you look at this, right, like 15 million founder, right, AI founder, right? The harsh truth about getting rich with AI. So, I don't think he's lying really, but again, he's made a ton of money. This guy makes a shitload of money teaching people how to build AI agencies. He just himself doesn't run an AI agency and doesn't make any money with with an AI agency. And then the results that they get for people, I mean, I'm literally showing you, right? Like the growth infrastructure, all this stuff. It's [ __ ] crazy, right? That he spent that much money. But again, he told me a situation is he got on with this guy. He had never built an AI agency himself. It was just one of Serge's employees. And he told him to run these ads. And you know, you look at what happened. It's like he's never getting that $4,600 back, you know? He's actually trying to get his money back from Serge. He actually did a refund, he said. But again, right, like the results, in my opinion, are not there simply because they're not actually doing it themselves right now, right? The difference between actually doing it right now and having done it 5 years ago is massive. And so, for that reason, I am going to give him a C. I'm not going to give him a D, right? I'm just going to give him a C. Right? If you want to learn how to build a coaching and info business, he would be an S.
Okay, so the next one we're going to be looking at is Mikuel Tory. Not 100% sure how to pronounce his name, but this is him right here. And so jumping into his stuff, if we go to his oldest stuff, the one thing I noticed when looking through his content is I don't see any examples of him closing business owners on AI services, right? Like all I see here is uh him talking about how to really use like NAD in tools and really that's that's like about it, right? Like the spec the typical builder stuff. He doesn't have any examples or proof of him actually selling closing business owners on AI services. And if we also look at, you know, all of his stuff in here, right? He doesn't mention anything about actually running an AI agency. It's all just specific to starting your own AI agency. He's pretty big on LinkedIn as well. And as we can see here, it's really just all about like get your first AI customer, right? Like get your first AI agency client. And so really looking at the content, right? Is it actually valuable? I think it's valuable when it comes to building. But one thing I did notice with this guy, I think, is he just straight up copies this guy's videos and just makes them.
So, that's one thing I don't really respect, right? He literally just verbatim, I think, copies Nate Herk's like videos right away, right out the gate, and he's like all over it. I've kind of noticed that pattern. Whatever. Just kind of like don't respect that. You know what I mean?
Obviously, YouTube is kind of like that, but don't really love that. But again, as far as the content is concerned, I think it's kind of half and half because I would imagine it's going to be valuable to learn how to build stuff. But where the rubber meets the road is, do you know how to do marketing without a social media following? To get real business owners to want to speak to you that do not trust you and get them to trust you even without having any prior results, right? Are you able to get someone, a business owner to actually give you money to get on a call with you and then give you money, run a conversation with them properly to the point where they do trust you, they understand how you can help them, and they give you money to help them where you're providing them an AI service, right? He doesn't have examples of that. And for that reason, I'd give him a half on here. The credibility, I can't see any proof of him helping actual business owners providing AI services. The only thing I see is him providing services to, you know, people who want to start an AI business. Authenticity. Are they legit or a fraud? I don't think he's lying about anything. But again, it's pretty clear that this guy doesn't actually run an AI agency. He's just jumping on a trend, right? Talking about how to make money with AI and teaching people how to do it, which is an issue in my book just because he hasn't actually done it. So, obviously, that's a judgment call the individual has to make on their end. But, do you want to learn from somebody who hasn't done the thing that they're teaching you to do, right? It's like learning from a professor at college teaching you how to become an entrepreneur when they themselves haven't been an entrepreneur, right? It's to me it makes absolutely no sense.
Um, and then what results do they get for the people they teach? And so I I think the results that he gets people that he teaches, he's got a big free group that it looks like and in here, you know, I would imagine that he probably gets people good results just because he's got 10.9K members. But again, if we just look at the difference between, you know, someone who's actually doing it and someone who's no clue what they're doing, just trying to figure it out, right? Like this is my business today. Just leads we're running for my agency today where we've we've gotten over 20 leads today alone. And yesterday we generated over 19 leads and we generated over like a dozen appointments yesterday for my agency alone. And as I showed you, the guy that I've partnered with and I'm helping that work with Serge, right? Comparing that, it's literally night and day. When looking at this, I think I'll give him a C simply because he himself does not run the business that he's teaching people to run. I don't think he's lying about it. And because he's not lying or anything, I I don't think he needs to be, you know, a bottom D dog [ __ ] tier. But right, we we'll kind of put him there.
Okay. So, the next person that we're going to be looking at is Mr. Nate Herk, who is pretty much the biggest guy in the AI space right now. He is the fastest growing in the AI space. He's very soon going to surpass Liam Mley, who is kind of like the king, I'd probably say, of the AI space, but this is kind of like the new king of the AI space. And so, this guy definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to this stuff. And as you can see here, he's only been making YouTube videos for like 15 to 16 months, and he's almost at a million subscribers, which is nuts. It just goes to show how curious everyone is about AI and how to actually make money with AI and how to use AI.
The one thing with his stuff though is you're not going to see videos of him selling AI services to business owners. All you're going to see him doing is talking about how to leverage AI to do cool things and provide services to business owners, which is great, right? Like there's nothing wrong with that. But again, you're not going to see videos of him actually running marketing, running sales, onboarding customers or anything like that because he himself doesn't actually run an AI agency that I'm aware of. Right? Like if we look at his links right here, you can see his free school community, speak to text, which I think is Jack's tool, AI Automation Society, right? So like here's his paid community where he's making ridiculous amounts of money all from his YouTube channel. And then here is his free group which is actually bigger than Liam Mace, right?
And so I think the main thing here is that like is the content actually valuable? 100%. Like he would not be this big if the content was not valuable, right? There's a reason why he's getting so many views is because he really knows what he's doing when it comes to this stuff. How to actually build with these tools and how to actually provide services. If he wanted to, he could probably build an AI agency that's really successful because he has he's getting over a million views in the last seven days, which is an absurd amount of traffic. It's kind of like you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a boat, right? like it's you would have to be very bad to not have success, right? Like you would trip into success. And so I think the content is valuable if you're specifically just looking to build stuff. Credibility, I don't see any proof of him actually providing services to real business owners. Authenticity, he's not lying about it, right? Like he's an honest guy, which is something you got to respect in a world where so many people lie. And then the results that he gets for people are great, right? like people are learning how to build stuff. Uh with a group this big, you know, and him getting as many views like this, his stuff is teaching people how to do things. The only thing again that I have an issue with is the fact that he's not actually running the business that he's teaching people to run. But the there there is two parts of it, right? Like you have to be able to provide the services, but you also have to be able to build a marketing and sales process that gets people to pay you money for those services, which he doesn't know how to do under the constraints that everyone else is under without having a massive YouTube channel. And so because of that really I'll put him at an A tier just because right like there there's a reason why he's getting so many views. It's because what he's doing is really helping. It's providing a ton of value to people and the way he's going about teaching people is great. He just himself hasn't actually run the business. But I think most of really what he's doing is teaching people how to, you know, leverage AI and he's he's being honest about it. He's not lying about it, which is very important.
And the final guy that we're going to be looking at is Mr. Dan Martell, who is just he's basically out. He's not in even in the same generation as all of these guys, right? Like he's in his 40s, he's married, he's got kids. A little bit of a different situation, but I guess we could kind of say he is the top dog when it comes to the AI space in terms of followers and everything. I think combined in this whole group, there's over like 4 million subscribers. So, chances are you've heard of one of these people, right?
Really, when we look at the content, I think the really cool thing about his stuff is that you can see here, right? He's been making content for an extremely long time. And one thing you'll notice about his content, it's not like you can go in and change like something that you posted, right, 9 years ago. You'll see that his content is talking about software. It's talking about him building a software business, right? How to shorten your SAS sales cycle, right? Like cuz he himself was actually doing that was building a software company, right? And AI is essentially soft. That that's really what AI is. AI was built by software. And so you can see that he's got a lot of experience when it comes to SAS all the way back a decade ago. It's pretty clear, right? Like that this guy has experience and he knows what he's doing and he's actually done it, right? So I I think when it comes to his content, you know, I think there's no doubt that it's valuable because it's coming from somebody. He talks the talk, but he also walks the walk. And he walked the walk a long time ago before he had a YouTube channel, before, you know, he had the leverage that YouTube could bring him. He was able to do it successfully under normal constraints that everyone else was under. He just figured it out, right? Which is something you have to tap your cap off too because that's real success, right? Like having a YouTube channel that explodes and goes viral. There's a different level to that, right? Like one of the reasons why I respect Alexi so much is because he built gym launch a business that worked with gyms just like my business gym members now does. And he got it to over $30 million a year without any social media. And then he started making social media content after he had sold Gym Launch and built Gym Launch and built and sold other companies as well. Right now he has all the proof in the world cuz he did it under the exact same constraints as everyone else. So he has so much value to bring to the table because he went through the fire and got to the very top under the exact same constraints as literally a homeless person, right?
And so just looking at his stuff, I think his content is very valuable. He's got the credibility, right? Like he really has done this. He's built and exited tech companies and that's still what he's doing. In addition to that, he's legit, right? Like he's not lying. He's telling the truth about what he's done and the results that he gets people, you know, they're powerful. Like if you look through some of his stuff, he definitely he definitely knows what he's doing. And I would say that this is a good role model, right? Like this is a good person to look up to because he's honest. He's been doing it for a very very long time. And that's what happens when you stick to something for years and years and years is you have success if you're relentless, if you work hard. And you know, I really respect that just because he's he's clearly figured out a lot of stuff. He stuck to it. And for that reason, right, I would give him a I would give him the number one place, right? Because I don't I think he's kind of in a league of his own compared to everyone else. And he's just been doing it for a lot longer than everyone else, right? So I would imagine some of these people as we keep going on in time, they'll get to that point as well.
Um, but right, I think he deserves the number one spot. Now, I want to leave you with something I noticed while putting this video together. A lot of the gurus in this ranking are pushing the same advice. Learn a trinity tool like OpenClaw or Any Gravity and then build the most complicated agentic workflow you can. But in reality, none of that matters. I've been running my AI agency before any of these tools existed and I still managed to make over $25 million in revenue without posting a single YouTube video as well. So, if you want to know what you should be doing instead, click on this video right here where I tell you what I sell in my AI agency to make money with AI. I'll see you in the next one.
