Hey there,
I had a chance to chat with two big media outlets – Fortune and Mixergy – about AI consulting this week. 
A lot of people are shocked by the level of demand they're seeing for AI advisory work... but the results we're seeing from our students (which I'll be showing you a lot more of soon) line up with the seemingly wild headlines.

Fortune: AI consultants are being deployed as engineers and getting paid $900 per hour

AI consultant Rob Howard told Fortune he wasn’t surprised at “mind-blowing numbers” like a $900-per-hour wage for AI consulting work, as he’s seen a price premium on projects that have an AI component while companies rush to adopt it into their businesses.

Howard, who is also the CEO Innovating with AI, a program to teach people to become AI consultants in their own right, said some students of his have sold AI trainings or two-day boot camps that net out to $400 or $500 per hour.

“The pricing for this is high in general across the market, because it’s in demand and new and relatively rare to find, you know, people who are qualified to do it,” Howard said.

Mixergy: How are there so many AI agencies?
If you haven't listened to Mixergy's entrepreneur-focused podcast before, they've interviewed thousands of the biggest names in tech and business, including Sam Altman (OpenAI), Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia), Tim Ferriss and Seth Godin.
Last week I spent an hour with Mixergy's Andrew Warner as he peppered me with skeptical questions about the nascent AI consulting industry. If you've ever asked yourself a question like, "If I can do this, why wouldn't the client just do it themselves?!?" ... this podcast episode is for you.
