Learning AI from Scratch in 2025

At 21 years old I make over $100K per year building AI systems and automations for businesses

This has proven to be the most valuable skillset I’ve ever developed.

To be honest with you I could care less about the money I make right now from it.

I’m thinking long-term, I’m thinking about the insane amount of upside that something like this carries.

Chances are if you’re on my list (thank you by the way), you also understand how crucial it is.

But here’s the thing…

There are hundreds of new advancements or news breaks every day about AI, so how the f*ck do you keep up?

How do you even start at this point?

Where do you begin?

I’ve thought about this a lot recently, and I finally have an answer.

If I had to start over again in 2025, this is what I would do…

1. No-Code Automation

Start by learning how to use a platform called Make.com

This is an automation platform that’s vastly underrated:

• It’s 10x Cheaper than Alternatives like Zapier

• There are no limits on seats or team members

• You have access to all features from day 1

• You can learn how to use it for FREE using their course.

Go through that course and you’ll have a solid foundation with no-code automation.

2. Leveraging AI

Stop getting distracted by every new tool release

Here’s a secret, 99% of them are doing the same thing

It’s all just packaged differently.

Learn about the tech BEHIND the software, how machine learning actually works.

Learn the difference between Fine-Tuning and RAG

Once you understand this, you’ll realize you only need a handful of AI tools in your stack.

These are my favorite tools in general for content:

• I use HeyGen for my Video Avatar

• I use ElevenLabs (Professional Voice Clone) for voiceover

• I use RSS.app for content ideas

• For all of my copywriting I use fine-tuned models I developed myself

Learn to use it properly and you’ll have an entire marketing team at your disposal while requiring minimal effort from you.

3. Combining the Two

Finally I would learn how to use Airtable.

This can be used to build any internal tool your team needs.

Analytics Dashboards, Generation Interfaces, Forms and Automations…

It’s more than a database, it’s like custom internal SaaS for your team.

They also have a free course giving you the essentials so you’re not totally lost.

However…

If you’re looking to combine all of the above and learn how to do all of this 10x faster

You should consider joining the skool group! 

Inside you get access to all of my systems and knowledge regarding AI & no-code automation

But more importantly you’ll learn how to use them at scale to automate your content, save more time and drive more sales

All while preserving your authenticity instead of putting out AI generated slop like everyone else.

If that sounds like something you might be interested in, I’d love for you to check it out by clicking here!

No pressure of course, but I will be raising prices at 100 members, so act fast.

In summary:

• Learn Make.com 

• Learn about Fine-Tuning & RAG within Machine Learning

• Use AI to create more content

• Build Internal tools using Airtable

Until next time,
