A powerful story of resilience: At age 4, Ash Smith witnessed his mother's severe epileptic seizure - a moment that would shape his entire entrepreneurial journey. Now at 26, he's built and sold an AI sales company that hit $100K monthly revenue in just 9 months using nothing but authentic conversations and strategic thinking.

In this raw and honest conversation, Ash shares how he went from searching for coins to buy food at Aldi to scaling his company to 30+ team members. He reveals his controversial views on psychology degrees, his unique "desert vs ocean" sales strategy, and why he believes most founders overcomplicate their path to success.

From caring for three family members while commuting 4 hours daily to university, to having his LinkedIn account banned and bank accounts frozen, Ash's journey proves that our biggest challenges can become our greatest strengths. He also shares a shocking warning about AI's impact on the future of work and why space exploration might be humanity's next frontier.

WHO IS ASH SMITH?
At just 26, Ash Smith is the former CEO of Hyperclick.AI and a sales strategist helping tech founders reach their first $100K month. After serving in the UK Government and becoming a trustee for a 7-figure charity at age 19, he built and sold an AI sales company in less than a year without using traditional marketing methods.

Growing up as a caregiver since age 13, Ash developed extraordinary resilience and work ethic that later translated into business success. Now, he's dedicated to helping other tech founders simplify their sales approach and achieve rapid growth using authentic communication strategies.
