I own AI-native agencies and invest in software (8-figure portfolio).
For eight years I also mentored agency owners. More than 4,600 agencies went through Affluent Academy, and together they've generated over $200m in revenue.
In 2026 I closed the Academy to focus on building, so I have no course to sell you.
This channel is where I build in public: the AI systems I run my companies on, the software I invest in, and the latest on how agencies scale.

Last week I hosted 40 agency founders in Portugal.
It was our seventh Agency Mastermind, on a private estate outside Lisbon. Guests ranged from $30k/month to $1.5M/month.

Everyone had to bring one thing with them: the single biggest constraint in their agency.
We collected them before anyone flew in, built the sessions around the answers, and spent the final day working through them in the room until everyone had a plan.
Here's 3 nuggets i've been reflecting on since:
1. Every agency is now a technology company
AI is pushing the price of the work down. The agencies keeping their margin are the ones building internal systems instead of adding headcount.
2. Nobody cares about you (until you make them)
Will PΓ©rez, lead filmmaker to Steven Bartlett, showed us they drip feed real stories into every piece of content they put out to build trust.
3. In-person is magic for making deals
At dinner, I watched an agency make $50k+ in deals with another attendee. That's more than 8 times the cost of their ticket.
We're hosting our next event in Cape Town in Q1 (15th-18th Feb).
If you're a great agency and you want to be amongst the best, we'd love to see you there!

How He Scaled an Unprofitable Agency to Β£6M+ Turnover π
This week on Agency Giants, I sit down with Ben from The SEO Works, one of the UK's leading SEO agencies.
When Ben joined the business, it was doing just under Β£1M in turnover & making zero profit.
Fast forward to today, they've grown to Β£6M+, a team of 65, & over 20,000 top-three Google rankings for their clients.
π Watch now: https://youtu.be/ZnedXU6bQg0
Here's what you'll discover:
β’ How Ben turned around an unprofitable agency & scaled it 6x
β’ The "pod structure" he uses to keep teams performing at scale
β’ Why ChatGPT isn't killing Google, and how to actually optimise for AI search
β’ What employee ownership is, and why they sold the entire company to their own team
If you're serious about scaling your agency past the Β£1M mark, this one's a masterclass.

The Agency Niche About to 13x... π
Websites went from 150 million to 2 billion once Shopify & simple website builders made them easier to build.
Apps are about to do the same thing, because AI has made building one effortless.
That's a projected 13x wave of new apps, & every one of them needs an agency to grow it.
Sam Olsson saw it coming. He pivoted Kurve into app growth when most agencies wouldn't touch it, & built the go-to, award-winning agency in the market.
In today's episode of Agency Giants, you'll discover:
β’ Why the hardest, most technical niche is often the most profitable one for an agency
β’ How Sam is going even deeper into app growth (building tools & sister companies) instead of broadening out
β’ The one thing Sam says every agency owner should stop doing today (most of you are guilty of it)

I'm done.
After 8 years in info, I've decided to shut down. Legitimately.
4,600 high-ticket clients and tens of millions in revenue.
This decision did not come lightly...
But I've decided it's not the model I want to invest the next 5 years into.
I just uploaded a video addressing exactly why: https://youtu.be/WWDsyFUmoCU
