The AI Government Contractor

I was 320 pounds.

I sent my dad a photo from a wedding.

He didn’t say I looked good.

He asked: “What’s your BMI?”

I felt ashamed.
So ashamed, I didn’t even reply.

At 320, everything was harder.
Walking.
Breathing.
Living.

So I started running.
First 3 km.
Then 5.
Some days 10.
My max: 15.

Step by step, I lost 100 pounds.
From 320 →220.
No hacks.
No apps.
AI couldn’t do this for me.

And strangely, I began to understand.
My dad’s question wasn’t judgment.
It was concern.

Here’s the real takeaway:
Whatever your “war” is—
→ Submitting that proposal
→ Winning that contract
→ Losing weight
→ Finding love

You don’t win it in a day.

You win it one step at a time.

If you’re in the middle of your own 320 → 220 moment, I’m rooting for you.

Tell me about your own win in the comments.

It can be anything

The AI Government Contractor

Last week I learned a hard lesson about using AI in GovCon.

We’ve all seen the success stories. People winning contracts with AI-generated proposals and celebrating big.

But here’s the other side.

We used ChatGPT to research market pricing for a contract. We added a markup. We submitted. The results came back and we were the lowest bidder.

At first, it felt like a win.

Then we started calling subcontractors. That’s when we found out the real market pricing was way higher than what ChatGPT had given us. Our numbers were completely off.

We had to tell the contracting officer we couldn’t move forward. That call was tough. Embarrassing. Frustrating.

What I realized is AI is powerful, but it needs limits. Or maybe even cutouts.

So now instead of relying on it for everything, I’m using ChatGPT, Google, and Perplexity to help me find more subcontractors. Then actually picking up the phone to confirm prices. Keeping AI in the parts of the process where it helps. Cutting it out where it can’t be trusted.

It takes more time. It’s more work. But it saves us from costly mistakes.

So no, I don’t think we should throw AI away. But we do need to be clear about where it belongs in the process… and where human judgment has to take over.

Because the easy way isn’t always the safe way.

When I started this journey, I was just a guy trying to optimize my recruiting agency with AI.

That little idea turned into me reaching out to companies and helping them write proposals for government contracts.

Before I knew it, I had helped businesses win over $2M in contracts.

But then came YouTube. And let me tell you, YouTube is hard.

Creating videos. Staying consistent. Wondering if anyone would watch.

Some days I thought… maybe I should just move on.

The imposter syndrome was real. I felt out of place. Like, “Who am I to be teaching this?”

But then something happened.

I started getting messages from people in the community.

“I just won my first contract.”
“I finally found a subcontractor I can partner with.”
“The contracting offer said my proposal has the best technical section.”

That’s when it clicked.

This wasn’t about me. It was about us.

So I doubled down. More videos. More live streams. More ways to support people chasing their first win.

And even though the challenges didn’t disappear; balancing time, dealing with the algorithm, fighting off doubt

The truth is, the community kept me going.

And today… we’re at 5,000 subscribers. 🙌

But it’s not just the number.

It’s the professionals I’ve connected with.
It’s the knowledge I’ve gained from others.
It’s the support we’ve built together.

I’ve grown. From a guy just testing AI in my own agency… to someone who now gets to guide others to their first wins.

So thank you. For trusting me. For being part of this journey.

Here’s to the next 5,000. And to even more wins.

Most people never imagined AI could work in government contracting.



20 months ago, we introduced it. And since then, our community has won dozens of contracts and completely changed the way they approach the process.



But along the way, I noticed a problem.



Business owners were spending hours digging through SAM.gov, struggling with broken filters, and feeling like they were in the dark about what opportunities were really available.



And the so-called solutions out there? They came with a $12,000+ annual price tag. Great value for large enterprises, but completely out of reach for small and mid-sized businesses trying to scale.



That’s when I met Hisham Hawara and Humam Hawara, the developers behind SamSearch.



They built an all-in-one government contracting platform that finally solves these problems. Contract discovery, proposal support, project management, subcontractor visibility, all in one place, and at a price point that actually makes sense.



Since then, our community has been able to:
• Find contracts others miss
• Save hours every week on searches
• Manage projects and proposals in one system
• Build confidence to scale and compete at a higher level



At first, some people were skeptical, asking if this was just another AI tool? But the results spoke for themselves.



Now, the fear and confusion that once held people back has been replaced with clarity and confidence.

Tomorrow, we’re going live to share the newest features inside Samsearch and how they make government contracting simpler, faster, and more scalable.

I spent a big chunk of my life in sales.

Banana Republic, in the suiting department.
Nordstrom, selling fine Italian and American suits.

Smile Direct Club, selling dental aligners.
Even a call center, helping people through bankruptcy and consumer proposals (yes, that was a sales job too).

Looking back, those years taught me one thing:

Sales is really just the art of moving people forward.

That skill has followed me into subcontractor engagement. And here’s what I’ve noticed…
Most people don’t actually know how to talk to subcontractors.

They don’t know how to create urgency.
They don’t know how to move the conversation forward.

Instead, they hide behind email.
They send out long solicitations…
…and then wonder why nobody responds.

Here’s the truth I had to learn:
👉 The highest touch point is still the phone. If you want traction, you’ve got to pick it up and talk.

👉 Email matters too, but only if it’s short and compelling. (Do not dump the entire solicitation in there—you’ll kill your chances of a reply.)

That’s it. Two small shifts that change everything when engaging subcontractors.

If you want me to break this down deeper, drop “AI” in the comments.

Depending on how many of you want it, I’ll put together a video showing exactly how to master subcontractor outreach.

I’ve worked a lot of odd jobs in my life.

At one point, I was a security guard.

At another, I learned how to drive a forklift.

And the one thing I noticed about all those jobs was this:
they weren’t leveraged.

If I wanted to make money, I had to show up, clock in, and trade my time.
If I didn’t show up, I didn’t get paid.

Later, when I started my own recruiting agency,
I thought that was going to be the path to freedom.

But it didn’t work out that way.

I had a client in California who needed 30 housekeepers,
and I thought, “Finally, this is my big break.”

But then I hit the wall—
thirty interviews, thirty candidate reports, and only one of me to do it all.

I remember sitting there thinking,
“How am I ever going to pull this off?”

I felt the same way I did back when I was doing those odd jobs:
stuck, with no leverage.

But then I tried something new.

I fed the candidate information into ChatGPT
and let it help me draft the reports for the hiring manager.

Suddenly, something that felt impossible became simple.

The reports were clean.
Professional.
Done in a fraction of the time.

That was the lightbulb moment.

I realized AI wasn’t just a tool
it was leverage.

The same way forklifts move heavy loads in seconds,
AI allowed me to move through massive amounts of work effortlessly.

And here’s the truth:

If you’ve ever felt like your skills weren’t transferable,
or that your past failures meant you couldn’t succeed in something new—
that’s not your fault.

I used to believe the same thing.

But the skills you already have are transferable.
You just need the right leverage.

When I stepped into government contracting,
I applied the same lesson from recruiting.

Instead of drowning in 200-page solicitations,
I used AI to break them down.

Instead of struggling to write proposals by hand,
I used AI to accelerate the process.

That shift changed everything.

I partnered with companies and started writing proposals for their federal contracts.
In less than three months, that brought in over $2 million in federal contract value.

From there, I packaged the system and launched a YouTube channel to share what I was doing.

And in under two years, our community has now brought in over $20 million in federal contract value using this same system.

And that’s why I tell people
if you’re still on the fence about using AI, don’t be.

You don’t need to be a genius.
You don’t need a huge team.

If you’ve ever suspected that big companies only win because they’ve had more resources
you’re right.

But AI levels the playing field.

If a guy who once worked odd jobs,
failed at his first business,
and then found leverage through AI could do this

Then so can you.

Nancy shared this after just one lesson:

“I won two contracts on my first try and currently executing the second one.”

She hit a challenge with a vendor needing payment before delivery.
When she reached out, I introduced her to someone who encouraged her to keep going.
Eventually, the contracting officer stepped in — willing to pay her before execution.

“That’s God’s Hand at work for sure,” she said.
“Thank you for hearing me out and making proposals way easy to prepare.”

These wins don’t happen by chance.
They happen when people are willing to learn, ask questions, and take the right steps.

Printing a solicitation isn’t a strategy.

And opening ChatGPT in a blank window to “write a proposal” won’t get you very far either.

Here’s what most people miss: using general prompts often leads to confusion. You end up second-guessing every step, overexplaining your ask, and constantly shifting your end goal.

That’s not how we operate.

Inside our inner circle, we use task-specific GPTs that are trained on exactly what matters in GovCon. These aren’t just chatbots — they’re built to:

• Break down solicitations
• Spot subcontracting opportunities
• Guide you through writing clear, targeted proposals

When you use a trained GPT, you’re not guessing your way forward. It already understands the outcome and helps you get there without the back-and-forth.

Prompts alone can leave you spinning.
A tasking form with a trained GPT gives you direction.

If you’re still relying on printing documents and copy-pasting prompts, you’re working twice as hard for half the clarity.

Three days. One system. Three contract wins.





When Uchenna Nwokorie signed up for our 3-Day Sources Sought Challenge, he was curious, but skeptical.





Could AI really help someone new to government contracting win bids?





He showed up, stayed engaged, and by the end of Day 3, he was already experimenting with the tools we shared.





But he didn’t stop there.





Uchenna took the GPT system we trained specifically for responding to Sources Sought notices…

…and modified it to tackle full solicitations.





That one move unlocked a new way of bidding, faster, more targeted, and completely AI-assisted.





Here’s what happened next:
🔹 He submitted two proposals in the roofing industry.
🔹 Both were awarded.
🔹 He added a third win: a state contract.
🔹 One project is already completed without ever stepping on-site or meeting his subcontractors in person.





All within weeks of attending the challenge.





This is what’s possible when you combine smart systems with bold action.




Government contracting doesn’t have to be overwhelming.





You just need the right tools and the willingness to use them.





Its easy to learn

MYTH: You need years of experience to win government contracts.

REALITY: Uchenna won 3 contracts in his first attempts.

MYTH: Government contracting requires a team of proposal writers.

REALITY: Uchenna used our trained GPT and customized prompts to handle it solo.

MYTH: You need deep connections and insider knowledge to compete.

REALITY: Uchenna never even visited his project sites or met his subcontractors.

MYTH: It takes months to learn the government contracting game.

REALITY: Uchenna watched our 3-day challenge videos and immediately started winning.

Here's what actually happened:

Day 1: He accessed our AI system

Day 2: He tweaked the prompts for his roofing expertise

Day 3: He started submitting proposals

Result: 2 federal contracts + 1 state contract

The biggest myth in government contracting?

That you need to "pay your dues" for years before seeing success.

The truth is, you don't need a large team of proposal writers to get your bids accepted.

You just need smart AI tools that streamline and automate the writing process.

The truth is, you don't need a background in data science to get precise estimations.

You just need user-friendly AI applications that help you find opportunities in any state.

The truth is, you don't need to spend days getting the main points of a solicitation.

You just need specific prompts that you can copy and paste into ChatGPT to break down complex information.

Uchenna proved that the old rules don't apply anymore.

While others are still believing these myths, AI-powered contractors are winning contracts and building profitable businesses.

The question isn't whether you have enough experience.

The question is: Are you ready to embrace the tools that make experience irrelevant?

This is what happens inside the Inner Circle.

Where contractors like Uchenna are using AI systems to win consistently, sharing wins, and supporting each other toward the same goal.
