This opportunity is real, and most people will miss it until it's too late. Twelve months ago nobody was hiring for this, and now companies are quietly building it from the inside out. I break down the exact four step roadmap to land this $200K job using AI. Hope you enjoy!

Finding leads is the thing that blocks most people from landing their first client, so in this video I connect Claude Code to Clay and build a lead generation machine you run entirely in plain English. Claude Code is the orchestrator and Clay handles the data, sourcing real businesses, enriching them with verified emails and phone numbers through its waterfall, and writing a personalized email for every single lead. I run a real HVAC example that pulled 50 fully enriched leads with custom subject lines and bodies for about 12 dollars in credits, then take the whole list into Clay to buy domains, warm them up, and launch the campaign. If you have been putting off cold outreach because the data and the tools felt like too much to manage, this is the easiest way I have found to do it.

After less than a week of Fable 5, it's been shut down by the petty US government. They are claiming that Fable can be jailbroken to bypass the guardrails. Personally, I think they are still butthurt because Anthropic said "no" to the military last month - childish clowns 🤡. I was only able to do TWO prompts, but they were AMAZING. The depth of thinking and level of agentic work was mind-blowing 🤯. It COMPLETELY worked through fixing the issues I was having with my AIOS assistant by going through all the files, skills, and processes. But now it's gone....sucks. Hopefully, they'll get this back up again soon. 🙏🏽

But it also has an expiration date. Right now, sticking "AI" in front of "consultant" is a real edge. The search demand is there. The budgets are there. Companies are actively hunting for someone who can walk in, look at their operations, and tell them what to actually do with this stuff. So if you're trying to position yourself, take the label. It works. But the label is the temporary part and we've seen this cycle before. → When Excel showed up, people might've called themselves "Excel accountants." But how ridiculous would it be if someone introduced themselves like that today? → When the internet showed up, people spun up "internet marketing" agencies. Now that's just marketing. AI is doing the same thing to consulting because AI is going to seep into everything. In a few years, the qualifier drops. The consultants who aren't AI native won't be winning business. They'll just be bad consultants. The job under the hood doesn't change. A consultant walks into a business, finds the actual constraint, and prescribes a solution. The newest tech is the toolbox, not the job description. But people take the "AI consultant" title and assume the answer always has to be AI. Sometimes the right call is a database restructure. Sometimes it's a better SaaS tool. Sometimes it's a deterministic workflow with zero AI in it. I'm not saying AI is never the answer. It's the highest-impact tool we've had in a long time. But forcing it where it doesn't belong is how clients lose trust fast. I think about it as a pyramid. → Bottom: deterministic workflows. No AI. Cheap, fast, reliable. → Middle: AI workflows. More power, more cost, more failure modes. → Top: AI agents. Maximum capability, maximum risk, longest time to ship. The higher you climb, the more it costs, the longer it takes, and the more ways it breaks. More risk. Start at the bottom. Only move up when the problem actually demands it. The label "AI consultant" gets you in the door right now. The discipline of solving the real problem with the simplest possible solution is what keeps you there once everyone else catches up.

Printing Press lets you turn any tool into a CLI that AI agents can actually use efficiently. It gives you a catalog of ready to go CLIs and also helps you turn almost anything into a CLI in minutes. If you've ever watched MCPs eat your tokens for breakfast, this video shows why CLIs are the better path for agent setups.
