David Carroll – Success Story

David Carroll is the founder of Dope Marketing, one of the fastest‑growing print marketing companies in America. When he joined the AI Apprentice Program, he was already an entrepreneur but knew he needed a repeatable system to scale. Dennis Yu showed him how to apply Fortune 500 processes—detailed checklists, clear reporting, and the learn‑do‑teach framework—to his growing business.

Over the next five years David translated our digital marketing playbooks to print advertising and omnichannel campaigns. By focusing on measurable results and building a team of specialists and virtual assistants, he grew Dope Marketing to a valuation of $100 million. David credits the AI Apprentice Program for helping him sharpen his strategy, implement the Topic Wheel across direct mail and paid media, and develop processes that any team member can follow.

Today David continues to innovate at the intersection of print and digital while mentoring other agency owners. He proves that the AI Apprentice frameworks work just as well for established founders as they do for beginners.
