Send us a text

When Dan Sanchez — better known as Danchez — was let go from his startup role, he could’ve played it safe. Instead, he leaned into what he saw as the next big thing: artificial intelligence.

In this episode, Dan shares:

• How a career setback became the catalyst for his pivot into AI
• The progression of learning AI, from first-time ChatGPT user to building custom GPTs
• Why experimentation (not perfection) is the key to getting started
• The AI tools he actually uses daily — including ChatGPT, Suno, HighLevel, and more
• Where to find reliable updates on the fast-changing AI landscape

Whether you’re brand-new to AI or looking for ways to level up, this episode will leave you with practical steps and fresh inspiration.
