## Resource

Everyone is talking about starting an AI business - zero code, zero employees, and a $1M outcome. And while that can be true, it usually assumes you have 40+ hours a week to learn AI from the ground up. But what if you don’t? What if you’re working a full-time job, have kids and family commitments, and only have 8-12 hours a week to work on a side hustle? In this episode, we talk about why a digital agency may be a far better option in that situation, but not in the way most people think about agencies. Digital agencies are one of the easiest and highest cash-flow online businesses heading into 2026, and one of the few business models where you can start from zero, build real digital skills, and potentially grow into a seven-figure or even multimillion-dollar exit. I’m joined by Greg from Empire Flippers, who shares what he’s seeing from serious buyers, why digital agencies are becoming so attractive, and where the biggest opportunities are right now. If you want 2026 to be the year you finally build an income online, this is an interview you don’t want to miss.
