About

I’m an AI entrepreneur from New Zealand. In 2023 I created the 'AI Automation Agency' or 'AAA' model based on my learnings at my own agency Morningside AI. On this channel I share my learnings from running my own AI Automation Agency, AI SaaS and from helping my community of over 290,000 AI Automation Agency owners to start and scale their own AI business. My mission is to inspire others to take advantage of the incredible AI opportunity by documenting my journey as an AI entrepreneur.

In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Platten to explore how agencies are adapting, from bolting AI onto existing services to dominate saturated niches and boost revenue, to offering AI audits and positioning themselves as “AI transformation partners.” We also discuss the difference between AI enablement and full integration, the real path from agency to SaaS, and how businesses can future-proof themselves in this new era. Whether you run an agency or are just getting started, this conversation will show you how to turn AI from a threat into your biggest advantage. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – What We're Covering 02:01 – The shift from AI “enablement” to full integration 05:28 – Why perception of AI is as valuable as the tech itself 08:16 – Real-world automations and tools changing workflows 15:13 – How agencies are scaling fast with AI (real examples) 20:15 – The rise of AI audits and the future of agency services
