Jon Cheney can't write a single line of code, and he's landing $15,000 AI contracts in 5 days using vibe coding.

In this episode, Jon breaks down exactly how he went from idea to first paying customer in one weekend: building an entire AI training business for ~$400, fixing a broken Stripe checkout, and closing a $15K deal by Tuesday — then scaling to $180,000 in six weeks, completely solo.

He also reveals the one client question that flipped him from one-day trainings into a recurring-revenue fractional Chief AI Officer model, and walks through real client builds: a 5,000-employee staffing company that cut case resolution from 39 days to 11, and a dashboard that gave BYU Athletics back a full week of work every month.

If you run an agency, consultancy, or local business and want to sell AI services without knowing how to code, this is the roadmap.

Tim Cortinovis hasn't answered his own email in eleven months. His agents handle 98% of everything that hits his inbox — and his clients say the replies are remarkable.

In this episode, he hands over the entire system that runs his business: every agent, what it does, and how he built it in ten minutes with zero code.

Forbes calls him a tech visionary. Thinkers360 ranked him a Top 10 thought leader in agentic AI. He's advised Siemens, ING, and e.on on this exact shift, and wrote the Amazon #1 book on building a company that runs on agents.

Now he's running his own business as the proof.

Host Jeff Tomlin digs into what's actually left for the human to do — and a prediction about sales jobs you're not going to like.

In this episode:

✅ The agentic team that runs his business

✅ The 10-minute, zero-infrastructure prep he runs before any prospect meeting (the exact tools and prompts)

✅ The belief about clients he spent a year quietly proving wrong: why speed beats presence

✅ Why the email-based SDR has "no reason to exist within the next twelve months"

✅ How to sell to buying agents — not humans — before your prospect knows they're in the market.

LinkedIn reach is down ~80%, AI content is everywhere, and most agency owners are posting into the void. So how did Charlie Hills go from posts dying at 400 impressions to 200,000+ followers and a client pipeline in just over a year?

In this episode we break down the exact system — the profile setup, the content strategy, and the full library of AI prompts Charlie uses with Claude and Gemini to create high-performing LinkedIn content without sounding robotic.

You'll learn why "how I did it" beats "how to," the 70/20/10 content split that drives both growth and revenue, and how to engineer hooks, carousels, and infographics that actually stop the scroll. Whether you're an agency owner, founder, or solo creator trying to turn LinkedIn into a lead machine, this is the playbook.

✅ Post as much as is sustainable early on to gather data, then double down on what works

✅ Storytelling and a specific point of view beat generic "top 10 tips" content in the AI era

✅ Your profile is a landing page, not a CV — optimize the headline, banner, About, and Feature sections to convert

✅ Content is the engine of your pipeline: it generates intent signals from your ideal clients

✅ AI does the heavy lifting, but the ideas, perspective, and judgment have to come from you

✅ It's a long game — expect 3 to 6 months before real traction
