Course overview

Learn how to build AI workflows that 25x traffic + 4x revenue for Deepgram

Deepgram recently 25x organic traffic and 4x bookings from marketing with a unique blend of AI workflows and experts-in-the loop.


Since then, leading companies like Reddit, Ramp, Homebase, and HeyGen have seen similar success with this approach.


This hands-on course will teach you exactly how to apply this same approach to every GTM function, from sales to customer success and beyond.


I'm distilling 1,000+ hours of learnings and real-world experience. No fluff—just actionable strategies, templates, and tools I used to build scalable organic growth.


These workflows are already driving an insane amount of efficiency and growth. None of these are "prototypes." Everything we're showing is live in production and proving to deliver results.

Who is this course for

01

Non-technical builders who are willing to put in a bit of work, and want practical playbooks that you can implement immediately.

02

Knowledge workers wanting to programmatically delegate tasks to AI more effectively.



03

Founders & business leaders looking to build scalable growth engines for them and their teams.

        I'll be honest, as far as content automation goes, I thought it sounded a little "too good to be true," but it's not. After attending the last workshop, I'm using all I learned and it's paying huge dividends for me and my company. Attend this workshop! It's worth it!
