What Four of Us Learned Building Careers in the AI Builder Program
I sat down with Sam, Jack, and Luke to talk honestly about what the AI Builder program has done for us. Different ages, different lives, same purpose.
How Young Entrepreneurs Are Building Real Agencies With AI
Jack Wendt, Dylan Haugen and Sam McLeod share how young adults can launch careers and use AI tools to help local service businesses.
Why I Want Your Son or Daughter in the AI Builder Program
I recently sat down with Jack Wendt and Dylan Haugen to talk with parents about something we are all excited about. Jack founded High Rise Influence, and together we are offering a young adult package where your son or daughter gets mentorship working on real businesses, including yours.
The outlet Jack never had
Jack told a story I love. When he was 12 and 13, he built his own business buying and reselling watches, then took that money and invested it. That was his outlet for the entrepreneurial drive he had.
Nothing like this existed for him at 13, 14, or 15. He had to search it out and build it himself, and that is hard. So he wanted to create a clear outlet for young people who have that same drive.
Now we can team these young adults up so their drive actually benefits your business. That means more calls and more revenue for you.
No age is too early
I am a former search engine engineer, and I am very excited about our AI Builder program. Folks like Jack and Dylan have ignited their entrepreneurial capabilities, grown their brands, generated income from working on clients, and grown their parents’ businesses.
If you believe your son or daughter has potential, and who doesn’t, take a close look at this. There is no age that is too early to start building a brand, learning how to use AI tools, connecting with other people, and learning things you didn’t even know you didn’t know.
I bet your son or daughter knows so much about social media and how to fix the iPad, things old people like us don’t understand. Why not give them this opportunity?
Young at heart and learning from practitioners
Dylan is 17. We also have people in our program who are 60. They are all young adults too, because it is about being young at heart.
AI is not just the next thing. AI is like electricity. It is in everything we do, and we have to use it.
I am biased, but I think this is the best opportunity for your son or daughter to learn AI, because they learn from other practitioners. Everything we have is organized into checklists and SOPs, plus live weekly coaching. It is a proven framework we have run many times, which is why there are a lot of Jacks and Dylans. They can talk to any of us, and we have a Facebook group with 40,000 people in it.
If this had been available when I was just getting out of college, I would have signed up.
Growing up with this opportunity
Dylan is a professional dunker who does dunk contests and shows, and he has documented his journey on social media his whole life. We met in late December, early January, and even after five or six years of making videos, he said he immediately learned so much.
What makes Dylan different is that Jack and I grew up without this opportunity. Dylan is growing up with it. He is helping real people who are really good at what they do see results in their businesses, he gets paid, and he is learning skills he applies to his own personal brand.
Come check it out
If you have a son or daughter with that spark, I encourage you to come check out the AI Builder program. Jack, Dylan, and I would love to help them build something real.

How to Turn Your Child Into Your AI Builder
Parents, if you own a local service business, you can equip your child to be an AI Builder in the AI builder program and take over the digital marketing. I made this so you can see what works and what does not, and so your child can become a Jack Wendt or a Dylan Haugen.
A lot of local service businesses have been burned by the last few agencies. You need someone you can trust, like your own kin, to watch over things and learn the AI tools. Young adults naturally learn those tools faster, and they keep up with social media.
Dylan and I co-taught a six week module at Johns Hopkins on applied digital marketing. Students teamed up with local businesses and worked on real marketing in the classroom. They drove phone calls and revenue. It was not theory from a textbook.
Why your own kin beats another agency
The person you can trust is your own family. That child watches over the business, learns the tools, and stays on social media in a way the last agency did not.
I learn a lot from Jack and Dylan. They show me things I think are absolutely crazy. That is the point of putting a young adult on the work.
What to look for in your child
Dylan said the signs go back to being able to reason with the AI and being able to make videos. Communication is another one. If your child gets back to things quickly, that is a very good sign. If you have to chase them, and they say they will do it in a week, anybody can do that.
You can tell ChatGPT to do something and it will make timelines up. What you want is someone who takes action.
Metrics, analysis, action. The action is the important part.
Analyze what you are doing, then actually do it.
What Dylan is already doing for himself
Dylan said that since starting earlier this year he has done a ton of things he did not even know about before. He got his knowledge panel. He got his personal brand website set up.
While he helps clients, he is also learning things he can apply to his own work.
It is crazy how many valuable skills Dylan learned along the way. He is being paid for it because he was able to qualify.
