Can you really sell AI agents for local businesses with zero AI experience?π―
Guest: Phil Goodwin, Founder, Sidecar AI LLC

Nine months ago, Phil Goodwin, a designer from small-town Georgia, had never built a single AI agent. π¨
Today, he's building and managing AI agents for local businesses across Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington D.C. π
So what changed? π
In this episode, Phil shares his screen and shows real conversations between his clients and the "digital workers" he built for them, including one agent that dug through a client's inbox and uncovered something the owner had completely forgotten about. π¬
He also reveals the launch process he uses so he never builds an agent from scratch again, and the pricing ladder he climbed, one client at a time. π°
π― In this episode, you'll learn:
π What a "digital worker" is and why business owners instantly get it π€
π How Phil went from zero agents to paying clients in under a year π
π The real client conversations that prove what these agents can do π¬
π What happened when one agent went through hundreds of Gmail threads π¬
π The repeatable launch system Phil built to scale his setups βοΈ
π How he priced his first clients, and how he raised his rates step by step π΅
π Why "my agent builds the agents" changed his entire business π
π The mindset shift that makes you more qualified than you think π§
π‘ Whether you're an agency owner, freelancer, designer, consultant, or simply curious about AI, this conversation shows what it actually looks like to build AI agents for local businesses from the ground up.
π¨ If you think you're too far behind to start selling AI, Phil's story might change your mind. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be one step ahead. π£
