Is it still beneficial to join your school if I'm halfway through your AI business video and taking action?

If you're asking a man who sells a paid product specifically helping you build an AI business whether you should join his paid product, most people will probably say yes. I am of the mind that my product is valuable enough to warrant you paying the money to get in. But I will say, if you are the sort of person that doesn't require a daily accountability structure, if you're the sort of person that has historically been able to get up and running with this stuff, comparatively there is less value in that community because that's the whole point. The whole point is daily accountability. I just check in with you several times every 24 hours, give you QA, and then give you some live facetime with me. Not everybody needs that to the same degree. So if you are not one of those people, then absolutely just get up and going, make some money, and then when you make some money, then you can join.

How do you differentiate Maker School from other AI automation communities like Jack's?

Yeah, it's a great question. For those who don't know, I run Maker School community, and I'm currently number three on the revenue leaderboard with about $292k. My success comes from how I package the community. I position it as a B2B offer where members pay $184 a month to learn how to get their first paying customer for an AI or automation service. In 90 days they earn back the money they spent (not counting tool costs), effectively getting a customer that pays around $1,000, which feels like a five‑to‑six‑times ROI. While Jack's community and other AI automation groups were first movers just by being the go‑to place for AI talk, I took a sniper‑rifle approach: I niche down to teaching how to build a business, not just how to use AI. Now I'm integrating AI and automation curriculum directly into Maker School—I've finished a make.com and an NAN accelerator and just need to record the videos. We also still do Q&A and similar offerings. Most other automation communities stay broad and less differentiated; I solve the specific problem of wanting to sell something with AI/automation and then actually doing it.

Sunset Cliff asks: Should I drop out of college to focus on AI automation and entrepreneurship? I’m a business student with no interest in finance/banking, have grandparents covering tuition, make ~$10k from AI automation, and want to know how to decide if leaving school makes sense for my insurance‑niche venture.

I finished my degree and looking back I don’t think I really needed it—I did it mostly to satisfy my family and friends. I was basically just treading water, lacking the conviction to make a real bet in life. As you get older and more successful, you realize you need to take bets and be ready if they don’t work out; it’s better to have tried and failed than never tried at all. In my case, a bet would have been dropping out to run a business full‑time; for you, it might look the same—leaving school to focus on your AI automation and entrepreneurship venture. Beyond personal experience, remember that colleges were originally designed to train you for a specific job, but today they’ve become mostly marketing machines that promise a future without delivering the skills or ROI. Most of the value you get is the social experience—being forced to interact with peers and learn soft skills. You can get that social side elsewhere, and there are many other ways to meet people without spending years and tuition money. So, weigh the social benefit against the cost and your own goals; if the credential isn’t essential for what you want to do, dropping out to pursue your business may be the smarter bet.

I've been using AI for 2-3 months (vibe coded a budget tracker, tried content creation, lead scraping, AI clone videos). I'm a performance marketing freelancer making close to $3K/month but spending 7-9 hours a day delivering to current clients, making it hard to scale. I'm considering joining Maker School and can commit 1-2 hours a day — will that be enough to make meaningful progress toward my first AI services client?

Yes, you should join. Though 7-9 hours a day for performance marketing freelancing is a lot — are you paid on commission, or a flat retainer to manage ads? Either way, before adding more on top, look at changing your fulfillment structure or deliverable, or identify your lowest-paying client on an hourly basis and replace them with someone who pays more. Those moves either free up time or raise your effective hourly rate, which is really the same lever.

I'm 17, just found your channel, and have never done any type of business. I'm disciplined and considering getting your course, but worried I'm behind on the knowledge needed and might be too young to start an AI business. Am I doing myself a financial favor by getting the course now, even working a part-time job as a 17-year-old?

I'm not going to talk you out of buying my course, to be clear — but honestly, you'd probably be better served consuming more of my free content first. You could likely get your knowledge to a sufficient level using just the free content, so that by the time you do join the paid program, you're not lost on basic terms like ROI or AOV. I don't gatekeep knowledge — everything conceptual is free. What is paid-only is resources: copy-paste templates, proposals, daily accountability/task lists organized to get you a specific result, a network of other people to help break limiting beliefs, and coaching from me directly. So to be honest, I probably wouldn't recommend it yet at your stage — though if you want to pay, I'm obviously not going to refuse.
