You need to buckle up because I am about to share some Insane info without pitching you, because i am not a GURU So, It's 6:47 am. I'm sitting in my office with the lights off because my eyes hurt from staring at funnel analytics until 2am last night. And I'm looking at this consultant's funnel. He has a beautiful landing page. A very clean VSL. Lead magnet. Email sequence. Booking calendar. Everything Russell taught us. Everything Alex would co-sign….he nailed it But his conversion rate was around 1.8%. Cost per booked call: $340. And I'm thinking: "This should be working." But then I opened his YouTube analytics. Average view duration: 4 minutes 12 seconds on a 6 minute video. And it hit me. We're building funnels for people who will sit through a 40-minute VSL. But we're marketing to people who won't watch past minute 4. And this is because of tiktok and IG reels We're still playing like it's 2019. So here's what I realized sitting there in the dark. The traditional funnel is dead and i know that you have heard about this so many times Not because it doesn't work. Because nobody makes it to the part where it works. Be honest with yourself…Can you watch a 40 mins VSL? Be honest. Now, let me show you what I mean. The old funnel (what we're all still doing): YouTube video → Landing page → VSL → Lead magnet → Email sequence → Book a call Looks good on paper. Here's what actually happens: Let’s say that 100 people click your YouTube link. 68 bounce within 8 seconds because your landing page takes too long to load or they see a form and their brain goes "not now." Of the 32 who stay, 19 click play on your VSL. Of those 19, 4 watch past minute 3. Of those 4, 1 books a call. You just spent $340 to get 1 booked call. it's crazy And that call has a 40% show rate because they don't remember who you are by the time Thursday rolls around. This is what's happening to consultants right now. Everywhere. And everyone's solution is: "Make a better VSL. Write better emails. Optimize your landing page."

What’s ONE thing AI helped you do this week that used to take hours?

1) What do you use AI for most of the time? and 2) if you're building a business using Ai, what type of business is it?

One thought from Alex Hormozi keeps looping in my head. Most people don’t know you exist And pretending otherwise doesn’t help Sending 20–30 emails a day feels productive But in reality, you’re competing with people sending thousands Sometimes tens of thousands That gap matters A handful of messages isn’t “consistency.” It barely registers Growth doesn’t come from small, comfortable actions It comes from putting your offer in front of the market enough times that it can’t be ignored But volume alone isn’t the answer either To compete, you need: • consistency • creativity • real problem-solving That’s how you stand out even in noisy markets Small effort feels safe Serious effort gets noticed If you want people to know who you are, act like it

Do you think someone has to be tech-savvy to benefit from AI? Or is knowing how to type enough? Agree or disagree?
