  Your Business is Struggling Because You Are Not Doing This

  Jul 3, 20261h 6mS1

  Everyone treats AI as the thing that saves a struggling business. Oliver Merrick builds AI systems that run whole companies, and he says that's backwards. Before you touch a single tool: audit, delete, simplify. Then automate. We get into why most owners are actually getting slower with AI, why your context (not the model you pick) is the real moat, how he taught his AI to think like Elon Musk, and the honest truth about creators faking "AI runs my ads on autopilot." It's a proper niche AI masterclass, with a blunt take on the entrepreneurship gold rush, the marketing games creators play, and a lot you can put to work in your own business today. New here? Miss AI is where Keira Nesdale sits down with the founders, creators and operators actually building with AI, for the real story of how they did it. Subscribe and stick around.

  $500K in Debt to a $750K Offer - She Automated It All With AI

  Jun 23, 20261h 1mS1

  She went from $500,000 in debt and 80-hour weeks to a $750,000 buyout offer all by automating her business with AI. This is how. After selling sharks, sailing the Caribbean for 4 years, and running an e-commerce brand off a catamaran, Andrea Palacio bought a "boring" landscaping company that nearly destroyed her: a thieving seller, a manager who sabotaged the crew, revenue collapsing from $70K to $40K, and two babies at home. Closing the doors wasn't an option so she taught herself AI and automated the entire business task by task until it could run itself. Today she runs Crueless, building AI employees for service-based businesses, and acquires companies to automate them. In this conversation she breaks down EXACTLY how she did it, the tools, the mindset, and the sales lessons that took her to a $95K month. In this episode: → The #1 thing most businesses refuse to see about AI → How she taught herself automation (Make.com → n8n → Claude Code) → Why "nobody actually buys AI" — and what to sell instead → The exact tech stack behind her AI agents → The skills AI can NEVER replace (sales & leadership) → How to make your first $1,000 with AI — even with no business → Why a human using AI will replace a human who doesn't ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Andrea's story: 35 countries, sailing & sharks 01:23 The truth most businesses refuse to see about AI 02:51 The $500K landscaping nightmare 08:24 How she taught herself AI from zero 09:01 Coding HTML vs. building with AI today 13:24 Bringing automation into service businesses 19:16 Handing systems to clients (data & privacy) 23:29 Buy a boring business, automate it, sell it? 26:19 Her AI tech stack: Claude Code, Retell, Nano Banana 28:06 The skills her AI agents run on 31:40 Why views don't equal revenue 37:09 How a coach changed everything (mindset > strategy) 42:37 The skills AI can never replace 47:11 How to actually sell an AI solution 53:58 How to make your first $1,000 with AI 57:40 The one thing AI should never take away 1:00:28 Where to find Andrea 🔗 CONNECT WITH ANDREA PALACIO Instagram: @AndreaPalacio https://www.instagram.com/andreapalacio/ Crueless: 🎙️ THE MISS AI PODCAST Real conversations about building, automating, and living with AI. 👉 Subscribe so you never miss an episode: https://www.youtube.com/@realmissai 📲 Follow Miss AI: https://www.instagram.com/realmissai/ #AIautomation #AIagents #Entrepreneurship

  How One Person With No Team Built a 1.5 Billion View Business Using AI Animals

  Jun 12, 20261h 2mS1

  Josh Gottsegen is not an AI creator. He is a creator who uses AI - and that distinction is everything. Before Tropland Universe existed, Josh spent 25 years in LA working on creative campaigns for Universal, Disney, Warner Brothers, Sony, Ferrari, the NFL, and the Vatican Museums. He wrote children's books, one of which became a bestseller on Amazon. He pitched a TV show for a decade and got rejected. Then in 2022, while most of the world was still figuring out how to spell ChatGPT, Josh went all in on AI and built a Digital Animal Kingdom from 20 years of storytelling. Today Tropland Universe is a registered trademark and real IP. Josh has over three million followers, reaches 50+ countries every day, and has passed 1.5 billion views. One video alone hit 280 million views. He is now in licensing talks to take Tropland from social media into physical products - figurines, merchandise, and tangible goods built on AI-generated art. In this episode, Josh breaks down: - Why joy is the only metric that actually matters in AI content - His full creative process from idea to reel - and why ambiguity in prompting sparks the best work - The dark side of AI content automation and where creativity dies - How he built a chief of staff, a boardroom of AI personas, and a personal operating system inside Claude Code and Obsidian - Why his billion views did not build the business - and what actually did - Seedance vs Kling vs the tools he actually uses every day If you have been chasing views instead of building something real, this episode will make you rethink everything. Chapters: [00:00] Intro: the man behind 1.5 billion AI animal views [02:35] SpongeBob, juice bars, and a decade of rejection [04:51] The lion snoring video that hit 280 million views [07:31] Death threats, AI purists, and why joy is still art [11:36] The Larry David method: logging small human moments [13:51] His creative process from idea to reel [16:35] The dark side of AI content automation [19:03] From digital IP to physical products - trademarks and licensing [23:52] His personal AI OS: chief of staff, personas, and boardroom meetings [34:42] Seedance, Kling, and grieving the loss of Sora [38:14] How far away is an AI film winning an Oscar [45:18] The moment he woke up to 12 million views overnight [50:15] The day OpenAI and Meta came knocking [51:30] How to turn views into a real business [57:12] What Josh hopes AI never takes from us 🔗 Follow Josh: Website: https://www.troplanduniverse.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/troplanduniverse/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troplanduniverse/ 🔗 Follow Keira: Website: https://realmissai.com/ X: https://x.com/RealMissAI LinkedIn: /keira-nesdale-b287899b Instagram: /realmissai TikTok: /keiranesdale🔗 🔗 Subscribe for more conversations like this: /@realmissai 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QIuSARzgY8AMRe8hs6qVT?si=46f589d2e5aa4e1a

  1 Person. $1M Business. Zero Team. 1 Killer App.

  Jun 4, 20261h 2mS1

  <p>AJ grew up in New Delhi with no roadmap. He failed grade 12. Not once, but twice, which in India gets treated like a death sentence. At 17 he moved to the United States alone, with broken English and no network. He wanted more.<br/><br/>So he started building. From a single Google Doc and a Tumblr page, he grew Roomi from zero to 2.4 million users across more than 20 cities, all out of an underground studio in New York City. Then came Simplified, scaled to 20 million users and one of the first companies in the world to build on OpenAI's...

  People Are Getting Rich Off Women Who Don't Exist

  May 27, 20261h 2mS1

  <p>Sesh grew up in Philly with no roadmap. He had a bachelor's degree, the highest grades in his school, and a list of accolades, but he watched his friends settle into a life of pity, distraction, and dead-end work. He wanted more.<br/><br/>So he packed up everything, drove three days across America, slept in a car, then on the floor of his brother's shed in California. He set one goal: become the highest-paid private chef in the state. He hit it.<br/><br/>Then COVID happened, he made a video about the stock market, and it went...
