## Resource

Justin Brooke from Agent Skills is back on the podcast, and this time he walks us through the full business model behind selling AI systems as zip files with zero delivery work. His system is called CMO HQ, a marketing and sales operating system built entirely out of folders and markdown files that works with any AI, whether it is Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, Codex, or anything else. The delivery model is dead simple: the customer buys from a sales page, receives a zip file with an operations manual and an installer dot MD file, hands that file to their AI of choice, and the AI builds out the entire system for them. No onboarding calls, no Loom walkthroughs, no custom setup. Justin shows us the full folder structure, the finance layer, a live content pipeline, and the actual installer file on screen.
