Build With AI shows you how it's done, live. Each episode, host Corey Ganim brings on entrepreneurs and operators who share their screen and build real AI automations, workflows, and tool setups right in front of you. No boring slides. Nothing that hasn't been battle-tested. You'll watch actual implementations get built from scratch so you can follow along and do the same in your business. If you're a non-technical entrepreneur who wants to put AI to work without becoming a developer, hit play and build along with us.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T06:21:58.212368+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/build-with-ai-6407453"},"episode":{"title":"He made $50K teaching companies AI (full tutorial)","slug":"he-made-50k-teaching-companies-ai-full-tutorial","published_at":"2026-08-28T00:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/build-with-ai-6407453/he-made-50k-teaching-companies-ai-full-tutorial","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/build-with-ai-6407453","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/7b9028e5","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/7b9028e5/3633cd8f.mp3","summary":"I sat down with Mark Fershteyn, who spent seven years building a B2B SaaS company, raised $8 million, and eventually walked away from it — because on nights and weekends he started doing AI consulting and training for companies, and in six months of part-time effort it surpassed the $500K ARR his seven-year startup had built. Mark breaks down the exact offer ladder he's using to make money with AI trainings and implementations, starting with paid in-person workshops as low as $500 a head all the way up to six-figure AI transformation builds. We get into how he prices workshops, why he treats them as a lead magnet instead of the main event, and how one good workshop turns into a $25K-$50K custom build for a company. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear playbook for turning AI knowledge into a paid workshop business, even if you're starting with zero audience.
