Introduction: meet the entrepreneur

0:00 You'll learn how the master prompt method is changing the rules, turning AI from a flashy assistant into a strategic partner that drives real exponential growth. If you're serious about surviving and thriving in the AI first era that we're entering, you're going to want to watch this all the way through. And if you stay till the end, we'll teach you how to build your master prompt step by step. Let's get into it. Welcome to the channel, Hayden.

0:24 Thanks for having me, Tuggo. How are you spending your your time these days when it comes to to AI? Yeah, I work pretty long days. um typically wake up around 4:30 and spend the first 5 hours or so of the day just learning and typically playing with AI. I have a several businesses so typically over the last decade I've probably spent 40 hours a week or so learning something, tinkering with it and if it works uh attempting to systematize it and then teach it to all my leadership teams.

1:11 So when you say leadership teams plural um what are the different kinds of businesses that you're involved in right now and how? So, I have three different holding companies. Um, and between those holding companies, we've got probably like 30 active businesses. I'd say twothirds of those were acquired. Onethird of those were started. Each of those businesses has a CEO. Each of the holding companies has a CEO. And the businesses run a really wide gamut. So, we've got one holding company that's really a lot of brickandmortar.

1:33 So, HVAC, plumbing, roofing. Um, we've got another holding company that's a lot of digital stuff. When you think of what's going on with AI right now, your time, I think it's safe to say, is is limited and in demand. What makes AI worth spending, like you said, four, five plus hours per day learning, experimenting with, and and and uh figuring out I firmly believe that AI can potentially double to triple every single one of my companies per year.

1:58 That's how big I think it is. Um, typically leadership teams up until now have been setting goals to have like 30 to 50% year-over-year growth, right? That's can be considered sustainable growth. And I think some of the scalable companies that I mentioned, I think you can 10x that today with AI. I mean, it takes a lot of work, don't get me wrong. Um, and I think some of the less scalable ones, so more of the brick and mortar where a lot of the fulfillment is done in person, I still think, you know, instead of 30 to 50% a year, I think probably six to 100% growth per year is is doable.

2:45 Say a little bit about um, Acquire and Empower, which are two of your companies. Um, Acquire is a business that helps people basically become acquisition entrepreneurs, typically buying a million dollar a year cash line business that's in profit. um financing them through SBA loans. Uh and then Empower is working more on the seller side. So we're helping doing exit planning uh for sellers and kind of connecting the two. And how many how many people have you worked with or across how many businesses or acquisitions have you have you worked on?

3:09 Uh a bunch. Uh definitely over hundred. Um I think we had like six closes last quarter. Um, and we probably had about sort of working with another 50 people. And on the seller side, we probably talked to thousands of sellers off market. When you say the valuation drivers, um, which of those valuation drivers does AI affect? All of them. All of them. Every single one. Yeah. Every single one. Different ones I would say have. So you know I said you can get like two you know three to 5x growth in some areas and maybe 2x growth in others.

3:55 So I think marketing for example you can have massive growth. Um sales today you on the actual sales side AI can help a lot with things like call reviews, pipeline management, um autoresponders. It can make probably a manager maybe three times more effective. Right? So a sales manager might have 25 to 30 reports. They can remove a lot of the reporting, a lot of the that people don't like doing, but it can't currently take calls, right?

4:20 So you're still limited by someone actually taking the calls. Now that might change in the next year or two, um operations, things like creating process, things like all of that is so much faster. Uh it removes a lot of the monotony. Mhm. Um but there's still a level of training and buy in uh that you know takes a lot of work. So what is the master prompt method? So basically when you prompt you want to be able to give the AI as much detailed instruction and
