About this course

Marketing, advertising, web-design, and lead-gen agencies are sitting on a closing window.

This free crash course gives you the reframe + the 3 concrete first steps to take this week.

Why "using AI" is the wrong frame — and what the right frame is
The 2026 stats on WordPress liability that should change how you scope client work
How to re-skill ONE web designer into a coding-agent dev in 4 weeks
How to run an AI pilot on your worst-margin client to prove ROI without risk
The 3 pitfalls that kill agency AI adoption — and how to dodge them
