The post-AI wealth blueprint (act before your competitors do)

AI disruption is imminent.

You're planning to "keep an eye" on AI developments whilst focusing on today's priorities.

But this week’s guest, returning entrepreneur and author Daniel Priestley, thinks 97% of businesses will be blindsided by AI.

Only those who move faster, cost less, and deliver better results will survive.

Daniel has built several eight-figure companies by staying ahead of every major shift. His latest framework reveals how AI will restructure entire industries.

THE POST-AI SURVIVAL BLUEPRINT

This episode reveals the exact playbook for thriving in the post-AI economy. Some of the things we go over are:

The 80-20 Split

Use AI for functionality (data entry, scheduling, basic responses) whilst humans focus on vitality (relationship building, creative problem-solving, memorable experiences).

You can think of the example of a restaurant: AI might handle reservations and payments, whilst humans create the atmosphere that makes customers return and pay premium prices.

Loops Over Jobs

Abandon stable employment thinking altogether; create rapid value loops you can scale with AI and exit for millions.

An example of a loop:

Spot problem → build solution → scale with AI-enabled team → exit.

Daniel runs multiple loops simultaneously because AI handles operational complexity that used to require huge teams.

"Nothing is safe from the emergence of AI.

Nothing."

Daniel Priestley

The Two-Speed Economy

Traditional business models are collapsing all around us, while new AI-enabled models are exploding onto the market.

Therefore, you need to future-proof yourself.

How?

Build multiple revenue streams.

→ One system to maintain current operations

→ One to experiment with AI-first approaches

→ Eventually replace the old entirely.

Speed to Value

AI competitors win by delivering results faster.

Identify where you're slowest and automate those bottlenecks first.

If your onboarding takes weeks, AI competitors will do it in hours.

Map every customer touchpoint and eliminate friction through automation.

You're facing the biggest economic shift since industrialisation.

The companies that embrace AI frameworks now will dominate their industries.

The ones that wait?

They’ll all be left behind within 24 months.
