One-Man Billion-Dollar Company With AI
Imagine a future where a single founder can credibly build a billion-dollar company—and the backbone is AI. This episode breaks down what it actually takes to make that real: not hype, but systems, discipline, and community that turn ideas into repeatable outcomes. From onstage workshops to late-night research sprints, we share the moves that compress timelines, lift margins, and keep your team locked in on what matters.
Samar Hussain joins us to unpack the operating system behind his momentum: live workshops where attendees open laptops and ship working tools on the spot, a quiet but potent paid Telegram community that prioritizes action over chatter, and a relentless research habit that keeps him ahead of model upgrades and new workflows.
We get tactical on building internal AI tools:
– Call scoring systems that kill fraud in minutes
– Transaction audits that slash subscription bloat
– Data pipelines that replace gut feel with real forecasting
– Workflow automation that turns chaos into clarity
The payoff is speed. When your team can wield AI against real process flows, you stop firefighting and start forecasting.
We also go deep on focus and proximity. Splitting attention across too many verticals tanks profits and spikes stress. By picking one revenue engine, consolidating roles, and cutting redundant expenses, growth becomes smoother and more defensible. Proximity amplifies it: surround yourself with operators who give blunt feedback and set a higher bar. That environment forces sharper decisions on hiring (hello Gen Z AI super-users), training, and saying no to shiny offers that drag you off course.
Looking ahead, we outline a serious plan for MiamiCon: an AI-powered event built around personalization, structured for operators in the room, and designed to deliver compounding edges—not fluff. If you’re ready to replace noise with data, hype with hands-on builds, and clutter with clean systems, this one is for you.

The One-Man Billion-Dollar Thesis
SPEAKER_00There is gonna be a time where there is gonna be a one-man billion dollar company. AI is gonna be the one of that company.
SPEAKER_01My boy's saying, I love this guy. You see him everywhere. You don't even need a fucking introduction, my man.
SPEAKER_00Everyone knows I am the AI guy. I'm just excited about all of the newest things that are coming out in AI and just being on top of it. So, what have you been obsessed with recently and why does it matter if the marketers having just the key people in your company and everyone is proficient on how to use AI because at that point they have an army behind it. What's the problem you see a lot of people deal with? We all have process flows, and if our process flows are super manual and we're not systemizing it, and owning that technology is by far the one of the biggest things you can do. What do you think people should focus on more? There's a lot of guys I've met, they have their hands in so many pockets, right? They're trying to do this paper call, they're trying to do this ping post, they're trying to do that. When you focus on way too many verticals, you spread yourself thin. Where do you think things are headed next?

You don't even need a fucking introduction, my man. Thank you, David. So this is what you've been on fire, man. You've been, you just spoke at Geek out. We were on stage yesterday here. Man, you were been on so many fucking stages. I can't keep up with you anymore, man. I can't keep up with myself anymore. And it's hard to say no, right? It's really hard to say no. So what's driving you, man? Like what's driving you to keep doing this? Man, I know what drives me. What's driving you?
SPEAKER_00Honestly, the result that I've been getting from what I've been doing is very satisfying. Someone tells me, yo, I'm crushing in what I'm doing because I listened to what you said. And that was that's what motivates me. Yeah. Because I just go up there, I'm not pitching a product, I'm just going up there and I'm merely teaching people to process my process flaw. Right. And I'm I'm seeing the benefit that they're having, and that's what's moving me. 2026, I've I've done three main stage talks already. I've done two talks on the workshop, and I feel like that's just the beginning. I just signed on for AW, Dubai, first day, main stage, and we're most likely gonna close them also to do a workshop. So it'll be a talk and a workshop, and it'll be hands-on. And that's when people really learn when they open up their laptop and I walk them through hey, this is how you do this, this is how you do that.
Stages, Workshops, And Teaching By Doing
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I was gonna say that's what I like about your approach. A lot of people talk, it's almost like that fucking classroom. You sit in your classroom, the teacher's talking, you don't retain any information when that happens. You get interactive, you ask questions. At Geek Out, listen, I know Geek Out very well. I was part of the first Geek Out. I was a sales guy getting people in there. I love what's happened to them. They've taken the shit over, hundreds of people in that audience, but they've never had someone do what you did. You did a workshop at Geek Out, right? Yeah. Can you explain exactly what happened and what you talked about?
SPEAKER_00And I mean, I So that's a funny story, actually. Um, I was asked to speak at Geek Out, and James came up to me at Geek Out Miami and he says, Hey, we would love to have you speak. And I said, Hey, look, I'll come, but I would love, I would love to do a workshop. Like I everyone just does talks, right? I want to be different. I want to come and actually do a workshop because I know I can I can hold myself. I can make sure that we have a successful work. So that's kind of how it went down. They call me back and say, Okay, we'll do a workshop. What are we doing? Then I I presented some offers. I went back and forth with Nick, uh, Nick Jackelford, the one who runs uh Geek Out, and we came up with the idea that we're gonna every we're gonna vibe code a landing page cloner and variation maker. I brought one of my really good friends, he Ralph Christian, he's a he's a dev. I brought him to Healthy Out. He was walking around the crowd. It looked, it was our first time, nothing's perfect the first time around. And it went smooth, it went great, and it was a very successful event. People, everyone that was in there was able to build an application. Yeah, and that at the end of the day, that's music to my fucking ears.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and I see it live. We we we run in like a lot of the same circles, right? We travel together, we've done events together, and it's I it's a beautiful thing to see the impact that you've had, not just live, but also in the telegram groups that we're in, right? And I think what you're doing different is that you're not just you're coming here, you're on stage, you also have your community, right? You're doing your webinars, right? And I think that's something way different. And I want to also talk about like you you had your people, people are paying you good money for to to learn from you, right? Like one-on-one coaching.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so I don't necessarily ever advertise that. And it just comes down to if someone really needs help and I feel like I can help them, if I can help them, my time is I can't booked. And if I can squeeze someone in, if the workload is not too much, I'll do it. But it obviously it is expensive. But at the end of the day, they can scale, they get that money back in a day. So it's like, you know, I work with people that scale.
SPEAKER_01God, so what have you been obsessed with recently and why does it matter to marketers?
Why Results And Community Matter
SPEAKER_00So obviously, everyone knows I am the AI guy. I want best use of AI in San Diego. Yeah, congrats. And thank you. And I'm just excited about all of the newest things that are coming out in AI and just being on top of it. So I believe I said this in like a podcast earlier that I spend my time in the library, and I kind of at a point where I'm straight research. I want to be ahead of the curve, I want to know what's going on, and I'm always testing. And I don't know what it is, but my brain looks at things a lot differently, and I'm able to be like, I can apply this to my call center, or I can apply this to this agency, or I can apply this this process and make it more efficient and make it more better. After implementing AI, we did reduce a lot of I guess uh staff because AI did replace a lot of things, and it's I feel like it's just gonna replace more and more, and just focusing on building the people in your company to leverage AI. Yeah. And that's the that's gonna be the next big thing is having just the key people in your company, and everyone is proficient on how to use AI because at that point they have an army behind it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and and you're so right about that because we have someone on our team finally, and it took a while. And I know we talked about this. Yo, I mean, listen, we we put up some decent numbers, right? I know you and I and we're not not not optimized at all. So now that we we added actual like a subject matter uh expert that knows us, yeah, it's amazing the time frames have been collapsed. The production, the numbers are moving in the right direction for sure. It's so fucking important, man.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no, I'm a big firm believer in data, right? I went actually went to FIU for business intelligence and big data. And if we're not analyzing our data with AI, we're never gonna be able to learn by even eyeballing or looking at Excel. Imagine you look at an Excel sheet and you have, I don't know, a year's worth of data. You may not analyze it the same way that a model, an AJ GBT 5.2, may analyze it. So it just kind of comes down to leveraging AI that's suitable for your company and for you to scale. So I'm very happy to hear that you have someone on your team now. And I know if 2026 for you, you're gonna you're gonna cost it.
AI Research Habits And Team Enablement
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, yeah. I know. And again, I want to hire more Gen Z people. Now I don't want to say kids because I mean they're they're they're the young, but you know, I mean, I'm like 20 years old, a lot of these people, but yeah, they know their shit, man. They know I spoke at the Digistore event yesterday and they asked about hire your advice. So listen, hire fucking Gen Z. They know what's up. You gotta know this technology, it's gonna give you an edge. In business, we look for an edge. This is the biggest fucking edge of our lifetimes, man. Yeah, no, no.
SPEAKER_00I'm I'm I'm with you there, man. I'm with you. Uh there there is gonna be a time where there is gonna be a one-man billion dollar company, and it's gonna happen because of the workload. There is gonna be AS that AI is gonna be the backbone of that company.
SPEAKER_01100%. Yeah, cool. So what's something that you've you've learned recently that's kind of changed the way you think about all this?
SPEAKER_00Okay. And this doesn't have to do with AI, it has to do with proximity. And I know you and me talk a lot about proximity, is you being close to the people that you want to learn from. I believe there's a rule, I don't know the exact numbers, but you want to, majority of the percentage, you want to hang out with people that you want to be, and then 20% of the people is how you currently are, and 10% of the people on how you used to be. Okay. But majority of that percentage, like 70%, is hanging out with people that you want to become. So I really close down my circle, and I know you know the same people that I do, the same hitters. I'm hanging out and I'm I'm conversating with with very key people, and that's helping me scale. And that's something that's very new to me where I there was a lot of noise. I cut that noise out, and I only I take advice. Constructive criticism is very important, and you have to be able to take it from the people that you look up to. Yeah, so obviously, you know, I look up to Anker, right? Adam, people like that guide me and nudge me in the right direction with words, and that's helping me move in a in a certain fashion. Yeah.
Data First: Analysis Over Gut Feel
SPEAKER_01And I'm glad you talked about that because again, I was at the digital store event yesterday. I'm not a media buyer, but I work with media buyers, right? I mean, Carter was on stage, right? We had we had fucking we had some heavy, like crazy heavy hitters. And at first, I'm like, what the fuck value am I gonna add here? Because like they're talking about this crazy media buyer stuff. They're talking about stuff that I don't really touch, right? Right. But then like I I added my value to it, and we talked about stuff like proximity. We talked stuff about to be in the the right telegram groups, right? Hiring, Gen Z, stuff that I added. But it what one thing I can tell you, and you just made me think the last six to nine months, because I've added some of those people in my circle, people like Adam Young and Anker, people that are super successful, and I want to emulate the model of my life after. Man, they've given me a lot of constructive criticism. And for a while, for like maybe two years, there was no one really giving me constructive criticism. And you know what? I was I was flat. I was flat, I wasn't growing, or maybe I was going, I was going down. When that happened, they challenged me. Shit, things started to move, man. Sure, it's it's uncomfortable at first, but you need any anyone, everyone needs that. So I love that you said that.
Focus Beats Shiny Object Syndrome
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so before, you know, in the beginning, it's like you have to be able to take constructive criticism well. And before, like sometimes I would feel like my pace is getting red in the beginning. Yeah, but now, you know, you feel like, oh my god, like I'm messing up. It's true, man. Yeah, because it happens. Like, I've I've you we you get bitched out, you're like, oh my god. Yeah, but it's not they're not bitching you out for any wrong reasons, they're doing it for your own your own benefit. And then now over time, it just comes down to okay, you're an idiot. Okay, tell me how am I an idiot? Yeah, how can I fix it? How can I do this? So you can't you can't look at what they're telling you as I'll get upset. Like, I don't get upset. I'm I take it very positively. And if you have that mindset, you're always gonna want to do better and grow. Yeah, I love it. So, what are you most excited about right now? At the current moment, uh look, I'm excited to get back home, right? Me too. Uh if you ask me what I'm excited for right now, I'm ready to go back home. We just did San Diego, Lee Gen World. I actually stayed on the West Coast. Up up obviously, uh, I'm from Miami, I didn't want to go back home. And now we had done Geek Out, and I'm losing my voice, and we spoke yesterday and all these events, and I'm ready to go back home, I'm ready to lock in. Right? Locking in, I look, Ray. We all love Ray. Ray didn't come to ASW. Why? Because he's locked in right now, and I know we've been working, we talk about it all day. He's working on a very sick project that's gonna make his company a lot of money. And he's like, I just don't want to even go to ASW and you know, do all that. I want to stay focused and stay put. And I'm very happy that he has that discipline. Now, unless if I didn't have a speaking slot, I probably would have stayed home, but locking in is what I'm most excited about. Just sitting on my computer, researching, building, helping others. It's a full cycle, man. It's a big karma thing. You help someone, you someone tells you thank you. That's not just like they just came and said thank you, but that comes in the forms of blessings, right? And it's gonna happen for the next five, 10 years, whatever, however, you benefit them. They don't even have to verbally say, Oh, thank you, or God bless him, nothing that if you provide value and success in their life, it's all indirect, right? And it just comes back to you, and good things just happen. So it's like full sight of them, I just do good and good will happen to you. Yeah, I love that.
SPEAKER_01I'm glad that you mentioned them. It's true. I see it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So what's a problem you see a lot of people deal with? And or what's uh what's the solution to that in your opinion?
SPEAKER_00I I really feel like systemizing stuff is very important. We all have process flows, and if our process flows are super manual and we're not systemizing it, and owning that technology is by far the one of the like the biggest things you can do. So I've I've now came to a point where everything that we do, whatever process flows that we have, I like to systemize it. I like to make it accessible for my team, and then we scale it. What do you think people should focus on more? Focusing on the current revenue stream that you have now and expanding it. So there's a lot of guys uh I've met, and they're they have their hands in so many pockets, right? They're trying to do this paper call, they're trying to do this ping post, they're trying to do that. And I currently ask them, okay, great, you're here right now. Okay. How are you here? Okay, what verticals brought you here? What's your revenue for that vertical? Focus on building that, focusing on one thing. So once when you focus on way too many verticals, you spread yourself then. I'm kind of done spreading myself then. I want to focus on one or one thing that I'm doing and scaling that. So that's one advice that I have for anyone that's trying to do 50 different things. Yeah, you got to go bald hard in one, build systems around it and scale around it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, simple as that. And it's so easy though, for that to have the shiny object syndrome here. At these shows, you walk around and it takes time, man.
SPEAKER_00Well, it takes time to how many people said, Hey, you know, let's work together. I'll give you, like, you know, we'll do a rep share 40%. And I'll just like do like I great, I get it. It's a great offer, but I've never done that before. And the learning curve of of doing that, I'd rather focus on my current business now and scale that. Yeah. Right. And you just sometimes have to be disciplined and just say no. And you know, people like to they people like my talent. Um, I am, I would say, I would consider myself on the spectrum when it comes to all this AI stuff researching, technology. And I have to stay focused on on insurance and what I do. And helping others, my consulting thing, that's it. Can't do a whole nother or call center operation, like no.
Lean Teams, Clear Roles, Lower Overhead
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and I think what it is, is it's like a a car or a ship that's you know, they're going from say Florida to Miami to the Bahamas, right? It's it's headed on that path, it zigzags to get there, but then these other opportunities, man, they'll they'll take you off course. And before you know, the fucking ship winds up in Cuba, right? That's what happens. Cuba and jail.
SPEAKER_00Hey, let's run this off, let's run this off. Or you have nothing, you have you have no clue how it works. You don't know the legalities of it. At the end of the day, something's on your name, and now you have some agency after you. Like you have to you have to really be an expert at what you do, and you have to fully understand it before you hop in it. And that's kind of the disconnect that that happens when you have shiny object syndrome, right?
SPEAKER_01I I'll get an example of that. I mean, I focused fucking it was solo. I was a solar guy, right? I know, and I became the expert at it. We were your nickname was Solar King. Yeah, at one point, I forgot about that. Yeah, it was a long time ago, man. But anyway, that being said, that's what happened. But then as it started to go the other way, I had to pivot. So the natural pivot was home improvement, same audience, right? So uh, but there was a point though where when I was trying to pivot, I was fucking doing this, I was doing that, man, and it was like throwing a lot of shights. Well, my life was complicated, man. My cortisol levels were through the roof, and uh that was a fucked up time for me, man. Our our our our revenue was high, but our fucking profits were sure, you better suck. Yeah, thin margins, man. Sometimes we're like, we have much real less than five percent. Like, what the fuck happened? Because we're trying this, we're trying that, we're trying that. But then you you have to learn, you learn the hard way, man. And then we have to we have to simplify things. This kind of leads into my next question. What what do you think people are overcomplicating?
SPEAKER_00Overcomplicating job roles that don't need to be there. Having people in your company that have a job role that can be done by someone that's already exists, yeah. Having way too many heads, way too much exchange where nothing gets done, right? So the solution for that is making sure that everyone in your team or whatnot is like fully trained and and making sure that they can do multiple things. Yeah, I remember we even had a a talk about this where you have pe the people in the company, and we're like, hey, we need to skim some. And after you skip after you skim some, you saw you saw results. Yeah. This was a one about eight months ago. We were in your office in Aventura. Yeah, we talked about this, meet up. You can see my stress, man. Oh no, you see it, right? It's visible. Yeah, now you're a little bit more laid back. Yeah, and when we're out, we're all having fun. Real, like, I see it. It's in your energy. When your company grows, it shows, right?
SPEAKER_01It shows mean like we're lean. When you're lean, it's like you could you can now you're nimble, you can navigate, but when you're damn, we are heavy as fuck. Well, we we reduce like fucking 70,000 a month. I know overhead bullshit subscripts, like stupid shit. And this is the danger. When you're doing well in terms of you're growing, you're growing, you're growing, you get you get caught up, like you're you're fucking it's almost like this sugar high you get, right? Right, and it happened to me. Uh, I'm not I'm not ashamed to say it. It happened, and I say this other people can learn. I said that the ditch store thing, too. You know, watch your fucking expenses and then look at your your people on your team. What ROI are you getting from? I had a very good friend who's in solar, top three in the nation. So the guy's done five billion dollars in solar. He's like, each employer, each person in your team, should be giving you a four to one return minimum. That's like four to one. No, Arthur Source Seed is the one that's solar, four to one. Bro, we had we had some that were fucking negative, and I kept them on the team because I felt bad. But you know, you live and you learn is what it comes down to. But it is true with with with the tools that you have.
Build Internal AI Tools To Protect Margin
Resilience, Criticism, And Growth
SPEAKER_00So uh my next point, yeah, right. Tools are like by far the most insane things that you can uh when I mean by tools, I'm talking about custom built tools. I get it, we're here, we're at the conference. Oh, there's so many boots here. Oh, I do this, I do that. I'm a big firm believer, is you don't need anything, you can build anything yourself, and you keep that data internal. And what I mean by that is for example, um, I built this AI agent that so there's services that look at all your transactions and they'll tell you, I did, I took last three, four months of bank transactions of ex pretty much like my expense card, I threw it to ChatGPT. ChatGPT researched every company to see if I'm overlapping services. Do I do I need those services? And it gave me a literally cancel with all of these and all their phone numbers. I just gave that to someone and said, I cancel all this shit. We don't need this anymore. And having tools like on like on the networking side or on the media buying side or whatnot, let's say you're getting traffic from someone, you're getting calls from someone, having certain things in place where you're analyzing all that data. Real time. So if someone is sending you calls, and I believe we worked on this together that was very useful for us. Yeah, it was very useful. Where okay, so I had this new thing, right? I've I've been look, I've had a business partner that stole pretty much everything back in 2020. I had to literally start from zero. And I'm now at a point where uh the deals that I'm doing, everything that I'm doing, and the the amount of data that I'm collecting and I'm analyzing, I had this new word is become unfuckable. Right? So once you become that, you know everything what's happening at that current moment in time. And that's very important. So any calls, if I'm receiving a call from anyone, that call is being analyzed, scored, I can find out within 20 minutes if this guy is sending fraud traffic or if the calls are good. Some someone told me just the other day they paid out someone$150,000 in seven days. And I said, dude, if you had AI to analyze everything, you could have stopped it on day one and probably been down to A. And you could have told that pub, hey, it's not working out. I'm sorry. So having tools like that and making sure that you're analyzing your data is like tools, man. Tools, internal tools. And maybe you'd be proactive rather than a reactive, right?
SPEAKER_01And we've all been there. I mean, that's that the react the reactive is expensive. It's too expensive. Yeah, you need all that. I pissed away so much money, man. Jesus. But you're not you live and we learn. You live and you learn. You could luckily I survived all that crap, right? I mean, damn. So if you have to give anyone the audience watching, or someone is in the industry uh a piece of advice, what would that be?
SPEAKER_00Be out, come to the shows. And if you have something really, really, really working for you, you got it crack, you're seeing crack growth month over month. Stay home, get locked in, yeah, focus. If you can't come to if you don't if you want to lock in, send someone to the show for you. Shows are very important. Look, I'm here, I've done the last three shows. Very important. You have to be here. But if you're locked in, don't get sidetracked. There's a lot of shiny objects here. There's take bro takes a week to recover from these shape. I lost my voice. I spoke at three shows, speaking to so many people, people coming up to me, talking to me. It gets drainy, right? Yeah. So come to the shows, be out here. This is where the real business is happening, you know. So that's my advice for anyone watching. Start coming out to these shows. If you want to get into affiliate marketing space, look, you'll learn something. Yeah, you may not walk away with like the uh the complete sauce, but you'll get a portion of it, and over time, you will you'll chef it up and you'll cook up the entire sauce and you'll have something of your own.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. Great advice. I I love that. And then I was gonna say something because I know you right before you you kind of I don't know, better turn like blew up in this industry. I felt you were you were working, you were going to the library late fucking nights. Yeah, you know, you come home and like you were up like you know, three in the morning, four in the morning working on all this stuff. You were building this thing, right? And that's the stuff people don't see. They all see business as this overnight success, they don't see what happened prior to that, all the trials and tribulations, you getting fucked by a partner who happened to be a family member, right? Yeah, your brother, older, yeah, yeah, you know, with multiple six figures, TCPA things, that things, right? And then you survive that shit. Yeah, I know.
Celebrating Wins And Sustaining Energy
SPEAKER_00But most important part, surviving surviving that look, it can happen to anybody. Now, you work 10 years to build something and all goes away, right? Look, mental health is very important. I was very grateful, very grateful. I applied myself to another business. I applied myself to the library, I applied myself. I never let it got to me. Yeah. Because if it would have got to me, bro, I would not, I would not be here right now. I'd be feeling sad and depressed somewhere, like, oh my god, I'll off all no. I I knew at the end of the day, you have to bet on yourself. I bet on myself, I bet on my brain, I knew I could do it, and I did it. I'm here, I'm I'm I'm crushing it. I'm really helping everyone in the space. People know who I am, and it's a genuine thing. Like, you have to provide real value, and that's when you get respect. Yeah, and if you weren't providing a value, you wouldn't be in for sure, you wouldn't keep growing bullshitting, you know what I mean? A lot of that like, dude, what are you talking about? You know, like a house is gonna be how I like to provide actionable items. If it's not actionable, I don't want to fucking talk about it. 100%. Yeah, I love it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so let me ask you this question it's like a personal question. Yeah, go for it. You've been you've been on a roll, you've been on a fucking tear. I love it. I get I you know what, man? I saw Manny uh Perez and Chris uh Groves on stage yesterday with Alex Michel and that's nice, yeah. And bro, you know what? I took a picture and I meant to put this on my story. It's so fucking great to see your good people and your good people see your friends winning. Yeah, it's so fucking great. And like it's like I like a proud, like I see you do all. I'm fucking excited, man. You know, it's it's such a beautiful thing, man. So, anyway, that being said, what are you the most proud of? Like, what are you the most proud of? What are you proudest of?
Private Community, YouTube, And Actionable Learning
SPEAKER_00I would say the proudest moment I had for this year. I know this year just started, the proudest moment I had was taking on the award for best use of AI. It may not mean a lot to a lot of people, but it means a lot to me because that means I made an impact 2025. And it made enough impact where someone felt to nominate me, and other people felt to vote for me, and I won that award, and fucked up. I was there, you won uh right before me. You was on stage right before me. I went right after you, and me and you have worked together. That's a proud moment for me. We both fucking did it. We both did it, right? So you got it and I got it. That it wasn't just me. I felt like we all won that award. All the stuff that we've done, everyone who attended Columbia Con, everyone, we all won it together. All the attendees, anyone who believed that anyone who's watching this LFG show, we all won that award because without that, we wouldn't have made an impact. So we need the people to make the impact. I think we're doing a pretty decent job, man. I want to keep fucking doing it, bro. So I don't know what tonight's gonna lead us into, man. You already know this is like uh day two of uh ASW and it does get crazy. So now we're celebrating, man. And I'm and I'm and I'm very grateful to do it with you, man. I'm I agree with you know, I you know, Adam doesn't really come out to affiliate ball and uh Miles meet Melissa, he performed last night. Yeah, Michael Walker Walker performed, yeah. Yeah, he he did a DJ set, and and Walker's a super affiliate uh of the year award winner, and you know, we had good people with us last night. I told Adam, I was like, hey, oh Adam, uh Miles gonna perform, and he was like, Okay, what time is it? And he came, right? Uh was low best. So it's like we have a very good supportive group of really good people, and I want to build and I want to grow on top of that, you know. That's that's what I'm looking forward for for 2026. So far, money comes after, revenue comes after, but if your circle is good and you're hanging out with bozos, you're gonna have bozos, we're gonna have bozo results, and we're not bozos, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, boy, that great answer, man. That fucking touched me. I it got me pumped up, yeah. So don't get too pumped up. Yeah, I know. I didn't get too pumped up, man. Anyway, but it's true. Listen, we're gonna have a word best podcast like bro. We fucking work hard on this shit, man. Yeah, we gotta we gotta see you, man. We're at 120 podcasts. I don't even know how the fuck. No, man.

My wife knows my fucking family knows what my I do this with my family too. We're always on the fucking go, bro.

Yeah, I remember we went to the uh your holiday party, and um, you grab the mic, and there's my little kids running around. It's like, let's fucking go. We're doing this uh gift exchange. And I was like, yo, this is so David, you know, like it's in you, that's how you are naturally as a person who have that energy, and I love hanging out with you so I can feed off of some of that energy, right? I love your energy. I'm honestly, I'm nominating you next year for most energetic affiliate or most energetic person. Yeah, Derek, yeah, give me that fucking award, man. Give my name on the roster. No one else can even compete. Who the should be number of dialogue? Bro, nobody comes close to your energy, and your energy is genuine. Yeah, you know, a lot of people have energy, but I don't uh it's not real. Your energy is real. I'm real, bro. I've never seen anyone stay out with me till five in the morning. I look at my Instagram story at 10. You're swinging your daughter in a park in Jersey, yeah, three-hour flight away. I was like, how'd he get there? And you're just looking great, drinking your matcha. And I was just like, okay, like there's no one that competes with you, David. We need you, we need we need to nominate you for that award. That means a lot to me.
SPEAKER_01I appreciate that, man. We read uh from EDM said that one point, uh, we're in Barcelona. Bro, fucking love it. All right, my last question: where do you think things are headed next?
Medellín Story And Partnership Origins
SPEAKER_00Look, at the scale that I'm going and at the rate that I'm learning, anything is possible because AI is constantly AI is constantly evolving and new things are coming out. Being on top of it is gonna help me scale anything. I also have a private telegram community, it's a paid community. If we want, we can put the the link in the description. Uh we have uh we have some smart people in there. Look, if you want to if you want a telegram group that all day they sit there and talk, talk, talk, talk, and it's just a bunch of noise, go for it. There's a bunch of free groups out there. Join those groups. You want to sit there and read through 5,000 messages, go for it. I have a very, very tight-knit, quiet, but I'll go in there and I'll drop something and you'll make, I don't know, God knows how much money. You gotta, it's a group where you you can make actionable items from. It's not expensive, it's 80 bucks a month. But everyone that's in there is dedicated to learning, and that's what I'm trying to build. I'm trying to build a community of people that want to learn and want to learn from me and I want to make an impact in their lives. Yeah, I love that. Also, you your YouTube as well, is that Samar GPT? So I have a YouTube channel where uh I teach about uh everything, uh mass-producing creatives, mass-producing images. If you're looking to get into the affiliate market, or if you're already an affiliate marketer, it's if you go in uh YouTube and you search at the at symbols Samar GPT together, you will find it. Or if you just Google up my name, Samar Hussein, you'll find a bunch of content on me, you'll find it there. I love it, guys.
SPEAKER_01Samar, man, this has been a great and you let me let me I I was gonna end it there, but you just remind me of something about how we our our our friendship and our relationship like really like what meant a lot to me and your brother, I just sales over here. Yeah. So I was in col I was in Medellin, man. I don't know when the heck this was, uh maybe January, February of 20 uh 23, three or twenty-four, maybe twenty-four, uh-huh. I think it was 20, 24. And uh I was gonna film the a couple podcasts, right? I had I was gonna do who the house is, I was in the race, St. Laura and I think somebody else. Uh, and the and the the person who got me this house, like, and they fell through. The house fell through. They couldn't get me the house. I'm like, where the fuck I'm gonna film this, man, I'm gonna nix it, right? And then uh, told you I'm having this fucking drama with the place, and uh you're like, listen, I have a place and we gal, right? Go film from here. We got a balcony, you got the view. I'm like, oh great. So we went there, man, and that boy, you bailed me out. That was awesome, right? Yeah, and uh the other thing is that it's funny, you look back then, man. The the the uh something was wrong with the cat. We didn't a chance wasn't with me in Columbia. The the fucking footage was fucked up, it was fuzzy. That wasn't your fault, but you bailed me out, man, and we had a good time that night, and then we decided you know you know we I remember we had a mic issue.
From ColombiaCon To MiamiCon
SPEAKER_00Yes, we we went on the Rappy app and I I I got uh a mic ordered to the house so we could uh that mic wasn't the best mic, and it was probably a Colombian-made mic, but we needed a mic as fuzzy, but you know, Ray had his first podcast uh on the balcony from there. Yeah, I remember that day, bro.
SPEAKER_01That was so that the quality of the film that our interview was pretty cool. I mean, I think at one point, yeah, we needed a chance. You see there, yeah. You see the maid come in and she's like fucking fucking up like you all you see, like the back of the maid. Yeah, I'm opening up the aguardienta. I can't even open that shit. I'm fumbling with that shit, but it's great because you see the evolution instead of like I think people people someone put in the fucking YouTube comments, yo, Storek can't afford a good fucking mic. Like they're yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was like, Yo, fuck that guy, but you know what? You know, we know it. That's part of the evolution. We didn't give up, we kept fucking going, man. Right, right. Alex Miko, ATO, ATO Miami Silver, let's go, baby. J Hova, that's a little soul. You ready for war? Anyway, Jay Z shit. Anyway, make a long story short, bro. It's like the evolution, we didn't fucking stop. We kept going, right? Got better and better and better. And bro, we're episode 120. When we get to 150, we're gonna be better. 200, we need better. You gotta keep going. It's like you and your hand. Like, how much now much better now are you than when you've like fucking a month ago, two months ago, three months ago?
SPEAKER_00So it uh to kind of piggyback off of what you said. Look, when you told me you had that hiccup, I believe in good people. Yeah, you're a good person, and I you needed something, I had it. I'm not gonna say no, F you. Oh, your house is my house. And that's exactly what I said. Is because I know you were going through a tough time, and I wanted you to shoot you. There was a lot of content that had to be shot, then we did it. And it's because I uh I believed in you from day one, bro. So yeah, fuck it.
SPEAKER_01Yo, right here, listen when someone comes through for you in a time of need, and you that builds it builds a relationship. Like, wow, you helped me out, right? And then and then we decided to do ColumbiaCon together. We did ColumbiaCon one, which is fucking great. And then we did ColumbiaCon two, which is a whole that was an even better. No, that wasn't better. Really, really sick. We had 40 people come from all over the world, they paid because the first one no one had to pay. The sponsors took care of that, whatever, right? I think we we lost some money out of pocket or whatever, right? For sure, yeah. But it wasn't wasn't a big deal, and then we're like, we're gonna do it again. I was like nervous, like, are people actually gonna fucking pay? And then, bro, they're paying right away. We're like a strip out there.
Personalization With AI For Better Events
SPEAKER_00Honestly, I'm in a lot of telegram chats, and everyone is saying ColumbiaCon 3, when is it happening? Yeah, and you know the little eye-looking symbol, the little I'm looking at you. I that's all I do. I was like, you know, like I'm watching you, it might happen. Uh we we look we talked about uh ColumbiaCon. I love Columbia. That was we had our first two events there. But I want we want MiamiCon, man. See, we gotta get Miami Con. No, we're gonna do that first. Miami Con first. Yeah, and the reason why, right? The reason why for Miami Con, there's a really good reasoning. In South Florida, we have heavy hitters, huge heavy hitters, and we want them to be a part of our show. And yes, traveling to South America for guys who are in their billions, they may not take that, they may not take that risk, they may not go, they may just say, uh, I'm okay. But they'll come to an event in Miami. And look, Adam has even offered me his penthouse saying if you want to use my penthouse, you can just make sure you have a proper cleaning crew, you have a proper staff, just treat it like a uh a venue, you know, and you can have your events there. And look, we have really good people, we have a good, really good support system in South Florida, and we can have the biggest manny zucker rally, we can have all these guys come to the event.
SPEAKER_01Oh, and there's people that young killers, Gen Z killers, 90-year-old fucking kids making millions and won't break to the event. That they don't you don't see them at these fucking things.
SPEAKER_00So a lot of these guys are operating in a whole separate business than we are. Ecom, we're more uh lead gen or whatever, but their tactics we can learn from absolutely, yeah. Dude, I I met this kid and he was telling me about a way that he does his SMS or way he does his marketing and the branding he does for it. And Jesus Christ, I was like, what if we would apply this to what we do, it's gonna increase by a couple of percent. And you already know how it works. Couple of percents, huge, yeah. Couple of percents matter. You level up 2% here, 2% here, 3% here. You're next thing you know what you're at 10.
SPEAKER_01That's how it goes. That's how it goes. Yeah, well, that's what's gonna happen. Miami Con, guys. Miami, I know you guys want Columbia Con three. It's gonna fucking happen this year. I promise you that. Well, we'll do Con 3. But first, we're gonna do Miami Con. It's gonna happen. Miami Con. We gotta we gotta finalize it, bro. I don't know. That's we're we might need a bigger place. We gotta figure this out. Miami Con Miami Con will be MiamiCon, you know. I got a minimum of 50, it might be 75, 100 people. I don't know, but uh we're gonna figure that out.
SPEAKER_00That's gonna be sick. That's gonna be super sick. And look, we we have a a cool structure of how we duke we vibe, we vibrate together. Yeah, and uh you guys will see this shit. Yeah, we we've done uh we've done events, so it's like running campaigns. And I I told it I've even said this on a on a podcast we did at RoofCon that when you run a campaign and on day one or first time you're running it, you do really well in it, you scale that campaign. Yeah, so we did we work together and it went really well. And you know what we've been doing? You've been scaling it. Yeah, exactly. So I think uh MiamiCon will do a great job, and obviously we'll we'll do it with the help of AI and uh coming up. I honestly I have an AI agent that researches everyone that comes, what businesses they are in, their company name, and we create we create content revolved around the people that come. So it's a very unique experience. That's what we get from Last ColumbiaCon. The questions that we use for the round table were based on the people that were sitting in that room, and that's not what anyone is doing. Look, I don't care of me telling my sauce like why our events are so good. I'm not the person to gatekeep. It is what it is. People are still gonna show up because it's our event. Yeah, and you know what?
