About the guest  :

 

Sam Blake is the founder of AIPro University, an AI education platform teaching freelancers and entrepreneurs how to earn with AI through automation, consulting, and content/course creation. He has managed eight-figure ad spends, built multiple AI-enabled ventures, and now equips learners with tools, playbooks, and mindset to thrive in the AI economy.

 

Key takeaways:

• AI turns time-intensive tasks (e.g., email support) into fast, reliable workflows using LLMs, APIs, and escalation rules—freeing humans for higher-value work.

• The lowest-friction path to income for most people: position as an AI-powered freelancer/consultant and package outcomes, not hours.

• Course creation remains a strong revenue channel—use AI to research, outline, script, and repurpose content across platforms.

• Big upside: re-creating legacy software/services with AI to deliver better results at lower cost; the barrier to entry keeps falling.

• Expect widespread price compression in software/services; winners will be those who ship quickly, iterate, and automate.

• Mindset matters: clarity of your ideal scenario plus daily self-care practices helps you execute consistently under pressure.

• It’s not “too late” to learn AI—structured training and practice projects can get you billable in weeks, not years.

• Ethics and impact: job disruption is real; educating broadly and building accessible tools helps narrow the skills gap.
