Watch this episode on YouTube: Best 2026 Guide To AI & Agent Tools For Beginners In this episode, Jeremiah gives an updated 2026 beginner's guide to AI and agent tools, showing how to start using AI without getting overwhelmed and how to think about AI as a smart brainstorming partner instead of a replacement for your judgment. He walks through the current landscape from chat-based tools like Meta AI and ChatGPT to more agentic systems like Lovable, Manus, Claude Cowork, OpenClaw, and Hermes, with practical examples for marketing, research, content creation, and building software. If you're brand new to AI, this is a strong starting point for understanding which tools to try first, how to use them well, and how AI agents can begin doing real work for your business. What Jeremiah Covers In This Episode Why the fastest way to learn AI is to start talking to it before you feel fully ready How Meta AI and ChatGPT can help with brainstorming, positioning, and marketing ideas Why Jeremiah sees AI as a smart intern or employee—not a replacement for your vision Creative AI tools mentioned, including HeyGen for digital avatars and Suno for music generation Closed-agent tools like Lovable, Manus, and Claude Cowork for building websites, apps, and workflows How OpenClaw and Hermes can operate computers and automate meaningful business tasks Real examples of using agents for research, content organization, offers, member archives, and software builds AI Tools Mentioned Meta AI / MuseSpark ChatGPT Lovable Manus Claude Cowork Claude Code Gemini Deep Research HeyGen Suno OpenClaw Hermes Agent Read the full transcript Hey, what's up everybody? It's been a while since I've done a video. This one is going to be an updated AI video. I'm gonna be talking about all the different changes that have been happening with AI, AI agents, using AI the best way, as well as a tutorial for you to get started using AI if you're brand new using it. I just got done teaching an amazing class online about this to a group that I've been working with. And so I wanna bring some of that to you here today. Number one, a lot of the landscape of AI has changed. And before we go any further, I wanna tell you this, is that if you try to understand everything out of the gate, try to figure it all out, you might have something inside of you that's like, I gotta figure it out before I use it because we're trained, we're taught, I gotta figure it out before I use this thing. The truth is that really you just have to start chatting with it. You just have to talk to the AI and even say, hey, I don't know what to say, I don't know how to ask this question, can you help me with this? And that will literally get you 10 times further than most people. Most people won't even touch artificial intelligence tools because they think that it's too complicated, too hard and things like that, when it's one of the best ways that can help you brainstorm things. Now, two of the best ways to start with AI, again, that's what this is, that's what this video is. This is kind of a beginner's crash course tutorial on using artificial intelligence. Meta.ai, they just released an incredible version like about a month ago. They call it MuseSpark. And MuseSpark is one of the highest quality, smartest AI tools that's out there. Meta, they own Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp. They've released this and this is actually the only really high quality AI that's out there that's free. There's other free options that exist, but they're not as high quality as what Meta is offering to people. And so I would encourage you to check this out. Check out using the Meta.ai tool. And specifically if you're using it, I would select contemplating, multi-chain parallel reasoning. What this does, this actually deploys 16 individual AI agents to process any task that you're familiar with. Let's say that you have a business. I help women better their relationships. Best way to start marketing this online. And I can liter
Stop Selling Features: The 5 Levels of High-Converting Copy
2026/03/04
Watch this episode on YouTube: Stop Selling Features: The 5 Levels of High-Converting Copy In this episode, Jeremiah breaks down why great offers still miss sales when the marketing only lists features, modules, or deliverables. He explains how to move past commodity language and write copy that helps prospects feel the consequences of staying stuck, connect with a new identity, surface the emotions they rarely say out loud, and ultimately desire the transformation your offer creates. The 5 levels of high-converting copy Logic / features: the surface-level facts people usually lead with, like more energy, better strategy, or what is included in the offer. Consequences: what those problems are costing someone in their work, relationships, momentum, or peace of mind. Identity: the story a prospect starts believing about themselves when the problem keeps repeating. Secret emotions: the resentment, guilt, frustration, embarrassment, or feeling trapped that most people never say out loud. Transformation / hero return: the powerful version of themselves they really want to become — and the reason they are willing to pay for change. How to apply this framework Stop relying on vague “post more” marketing and create real lead-generation assets like webinars, downloads, or entry offers. Rewrite your current sales page and ads so they move deeper than features and describe the prospect’s real before-and-after journey. Use AI tools like Gemini to analyze this framework and help restructure your offer messaging around transformation instead of deliverables. Keep the copy believable and clear — not confusing, unbelievable, or boring. If your offer sounds fine on paper but still is not converting, this episode is a practical guide to writing copy that makes the value feel real and urgent to the right buyer.
The TRUTH About OpenClaw AI Agents (And How I'm Using Them)
2026/02/18
Everything in the AI space is progressing faster than any of us anticipated, and I want to show you exactly how I’m capitalizing on it. Right now, I have 14 AI agents working for me around the clock—not just chatting, but actively building a telehealth company, writing code, and managing marketing projects. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on OpenClaw, a tool that goes far beyond standard chatbots by possessing unlimited memory and the ability to take control of a computer to execute complex, long-form tasks just like a human employee. I will walk you through my exact technical setup, explaining why I run these agents on dedicated hardware like a used M1 Mac Mini rather than my main computer to ensure total security. You’ll learn how I manage this digital workforce through Slack, the specific workflows I use to keep my data safe, and the real-world results I’m seeing, including the creation of a HIPAA-compliant platform. I also discuss alternative tools like Lovable.dev and Manus.im for those looking to dip their toes into agent-based workflows. This technology allows you to scale your output as if you had a 50-person team without the massive overhead. If you are ready to understand how autonomous agents can revolutionize your business operations and want a practical blueprint for getting started, you cannot afford to miss this breakdown.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the world of AI agents and showing you exactly how I'm using them to save weeks of time in my business.

And the tools available right now are more accessible than ever—many of them are free or under $20/month. In this episode, I'm covering: ➡️ What AI agents actually are and how they differ from traditional AI chatbots ➡️ The specific tools I'm using right now: Manus, Lovable.dev, Claude Cowork, Claude Code, Replit, and ChatGPT's agent mode ➡️ How I built multiple apps this week alone—a chatbot, a transcript tool, a scheduler, and even a healthcare app for a client—without being a developer ➡️ How an agent wrote an entire ebook for me from hours of raw transcripts (saving weeks of work) ➡️ Creating custom GPTs that act as specialized agents for tasks like writing Facebook ads, creating content, and more ➡️ The future of autonomous agents and why we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible ➡️ Real examples: landing pages built in minutes, marketing campaigns rewritten, email systems created, and research done automatically I also asked Claude Opus to brainstorm future agent possibilities, and some of the ideas—like ambient agents that passively observe your work, adversarial agents that stress-test your plans, and dream agents that develop your half-baked ideas—will blow your mind. Whether you're a coach, consultant, business owner, or just someone curious about how AI can actually work FOR you, this episode will give you practical ways to start implementing agents today.

This is about creating internal safety at a nervous system level so you can finally take the actions you know you need to take. Whether you're struggling with sales calls, procrastination, relationship triggers, or any pattern that's holding you back, this process will help.

2026/01/07
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact strategic process that took me from working 10 hours a week to generating seven figures while only working 10-15 hours weekly. After 23 years in the coaching and mentoring industry and building multiple $10+ million companies, I'm sharing the blueprint that actually works - not just theory, but what I've personally implemented.

In this episode, you'll discover: Why having all the knowledge isn't enough (and what I had to learn the hard way about taking risks) The two business models that work best when leaving corporate: services vs. information/consulting My personal story of juggling 8 clients to hit $250k/year (and why it almost destroyed me) The 3-step system: Finding people with problems, presenting offers, and closing sales Why 95% of people fail at the presentation stage The "offer letter" strategy that changed everything How to use retargeting ads at a 95% discount Real client case studies, including scaling to $1 million per month I also dive deep into the mindset shifts required, the importance of boundaries, and why you need to stop being afraid of selling. Whether you're 30+ and sitting on years of expertise or younger and eager to build, this episode shows you how to monetize what you already know. This isn't about working harder - it's about working strategically.

The #1 Pricing MISTAKE That's KILLING Your Sales and Profit
2025/12/17
Are you leaving money on the table because you're copying your competitor's pricing? In this game-changing episode, I'm exposing the #1 pricing mistake that's killing your sales and profit – and it's probably not what you think. After nearly 23 years in the coaching and consulting industry, I've discovered that most coaches, mentors, and service providers are making a fatal error: they're looking at what everyone else charges and matching those prices. Here's the problem – your competitors don't know anything about pricing either, and following them is like the blind leading the blind. In this episode, I break down my exact pricing strategy that's helped me build a business with clients paying anywhere from $5 for my Instagram Ads Playbook to $8,000 per month for premium consulting. I'll share why my $10,000 emergency AC repair taught me everything I needed to know about buyer psychology and urgency-based selling. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why being the cheapest option actually repels quality clients and attracts "value seekers" who will drain your energy ✅ The mathematical proof that 50 clients at $30 beats 100 clients at $10 (and requires less work) ✅ My proven pricing ladder system: $5 → $197/month → $900/month → $8,000/month and how to implement it ✅ The 30% closing rate benchmark that reveals if your pricing and offer are properly aligned ✅ Why charging $100K+ per year from a single client isn't just possible – it's happening every day ✅ How to remove emotion from pricing decisions and focus on the economics that actually matter ✅ The difference between solving a "nice to have" problem vs. an "urgent must-solve-now" problem I also reveal the exact pricing tiers I recommend for coaches: low-ticket offers under $47, monthly programs at $97-197, high-ticket programs at $6K-19K, and premium offerings at $30K-100K+ per year. The truth is, you're not helping anyone by undercharging. You can't invest in advertising, can't hire support staff, and can't scale your impact. More importantly, you're attracting clients who aren't serious about transformation. Whether you're just starting out or you're ready to scale to multiple six or seven figures, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about pricing your expertise. Stop being a superhero trying to save everyone with low prices. Start being a professional who charges what they're worth.

Avoid These 3 Trust Killing Mistakes in Your Coaching Business
2025/11/21
Ever wonder why some coaches seem to effortlessly attract high-paying clients while others struggle despite having amazing programs? After 22+ years in the coaching industry, I'm revealing the uncomfortable truth: it's not about how good your program is—it's about TRUST. In this game-changing episode, I'm breaking down the exact trust-building system that transformed my business from struggling to consistently signing clients at every level of my value ladder.

I dive into the three critical mistakes that are silently destroying your credibility before prospects even consider working with you. You'll discover why having the best coaching program means nothing if you're missing this one crucial element, and how the industry's reputation is working against you (even if you've done nothing wrong).

This episode is perfect for coaches, course creators, and service providers who know they have something valuable to offer but can't seem to break through the noise. Whether you're just starting out or you're already making six figures and ready to scale, these trust-building principles will revolutionize how you attract and convert clients. Fair warning: I'm not holding back in this episode. I'm sharing the exact strategies that took me years to perfect, including some uncomfortable truths about why most coaching businesses fail to scale beyond a certain point.

Why Your Ads Aren't Working And How To Fix It!
2025/11/14
In this game-changing episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why the traditional "free lead" model is dead and what's actually working right now in paid advertising. I used to generate 500-1,000 free leads every single week through webinars and challenges. Sounds impressive, right? Wrong. Those leads were garbage - they weren't converting, and I was bleeding money trying to turn them into customers. Here's what I discovered: 100 buyer leads are infinitely better than 1,000 freebie seekers. Last week alone, I generated 609 PAYING customers at $5 each, and when we bumped it to $10, the results stayed consistent. The kicker? My ad spend to acquire these paying customers was roughly the same as what they paid me, making my lead acquisition essentially FREE while pre-qualifying serious buyers. In this episode, I break down: ➡️ The shocking math behind why "free" leads are actually more expensive than paid ones ➡️ How I went from 20-30% conversion rates (instead of the dismal rates from free leads) ➡️ My exact $5-$10 low-ticket strategy that's revolutionizing how coaches and consultants generate leads ➡️ Why the advertising landscape shift makes this the perfect time to implement this strategy ➡️ The psychology behind why someone who pays $5 is 10x more likely to buy your high-ticket offer ➡️ My 72-hour urgency framework that creates massive action ➡️ The bonus stacking method that makes a $5 offer feel like highway robbery (in a good way) This isn't just theory - I'm sharing real numbers from real campaigns I'm running right now. If you're a coach, consultant, mentor, or online educator struggling to make your ads profitable, this episode will completely transform how you think about lead generation. The old model of free webinars and challenges is broken. It's time to embrace the new reality of paid lead generation that actually works.
The #1 HABIT That Holds Smart People Back From Success Financially
2025/11/05
I need to have a real conversation with you today—because this is something I see over and over again with coaches, mentors, and online entrepreneurs… and I’ve battled it myself. It’s not your niche. It’s not your pricing. It’s not your offer. 👉 It’s perfectionism. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism masks itself as excellence, how it sneaks into your business decisions, and how it’s quietly keeping you broke—even if you’re smart, capable, and well-intentioned. I’ll share my own struggles with it, how it’s stopped me from creating content, launching offers, and showing up when I knew I could’ve—and what shifted when I finally let go of the pressure to get everything “just right.” You’ll learn: How to recognize the subtle forms of perfectionism in your business Why chasing perfection kills momentum (and revenue) What actually produces consistent financial success online How to rewire your mindset and nervous system to thrive in imperfect action If you’ve ever said “I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing,” this episode is for you.
What If Imperfection is the KEY to Your Online Success Story
2025/10/20
As a recovering perfectionist, I'm calling myself (and you) out in this episode. For years, I thought my perfectionism was my superpower - that spirit of excellence that would set me apart in business. Turns out, it was the very thing holding me back from the success I desperately wanted. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing why "imperfectionism" has become my new operating system and how it's revolutionized not just my business, but my entire life. From losing $12K in 15 minutes in the stock market to building multiple successful businesses, I've learned that consistent, imperfect action beats perfectionism every single time. Here's what we're diving into: Why perfectionism is actually a setup for failure (and what to do instead) The counterintuitive truth about failed campaigns and why they mean you're doing it RIGHT How I manage emotional highs and lows (a lesson from my $30K trading month) The "reductionist viewpoint" that gave me hours back in my week Why being prolific beats being perfect - and how to make this your new normal The raw truth about how perfectionism was making me show up as "kind of an a-hole" with my family The mindset shifts that separate successful online entrepreneurs from those who struggle I get vulnerable about my own journey - including recent trading losses, client disappointments, and the humbling realization that despite thinking I knew everything about business years ago, I'm still learning every day from my mother, a multimillionaire mentor who taught me many of these lessons. This isn't just another business strategy episode. It's about recognizing that how you do one thing is how you do everything. If you're paralyzed by perfectionism in your business, it's affecting your relationships, your creativity, and your ability to grow. Whether you're waiting to launch that course until it's "perfect," sitting on content because it's not "good enough," or afraid to run ads because you might lose money - this episode is your wake-up call. Key Takeaway: Good enough IS good enough when it's consistent. Your imperfect action today beats your perfect plan for tomorrow.
