Ai has divided business owners into two categories.
1. Those who are anti-AI and refuse to give up their authenticity for a job done more easily.
2. Pro ai who want every department in their business to scream AI & automation.
Neither one is wrong,
The first values what humans yearn for these days (authenticity).
While the second prefers productivity and adoption over stiffness.
Which one are you?
- Editors leaving, constantly hiring.
- Tough clients, payment issues, contract breaches.
- "One last small change"
- "iM sUiNg YoU" (when asked for payment)
It's not easy folks, and running two at a time is even harder. But fuck it we ball.
Running a video agency on Twitter:
- 200+ clients, always overbooked
- Events & Networking, speaking on stage
- Project managers handle all the work
- New clients every day, scaling fast
Running a video agency in reality:
@remoteoliver In most businesses nowadays, calls are just a waste of time.
Unless the purpose is trust building, every detail can be discussed over text.
I have a client is a urologist who sells courses on how to last longer in bed.
The best thing about my line of work is that you get all that paid info for free.
Just putting it out there.
The person I respect the most in this world is my father.
This guy.
Let me skip college on the condition that I get passing grades.
Bought me my first computer.
Supported me in taking a gap year to build my business.
Never said anything to make me feel like I owed him.
Genuinely goated dad.

I feel like since chatgpt iv lost a lot of my oration, critical thinking and most importantly copywriting skills.
It feels convenient in the moment and then a year later you're struggling to even think on your own.
The best thing about the agency model is how liquid it is.
And my fellow agency owners will all agree.
I have cash available at any moment, no pending payments, no long-term contracts, no equity stuff.
And if you do it right, profit margins can range between 50-75% depending on the offer.
It won't make you a millionaire, but it will fund the business that will.
