In this episode, Andrew Warner sits down with Joe Apfelbaum, founder of Ajax Union and EvyAI, to break down five practical ways to make money using AI right now — without needing to code, raise money, or build complex software.

Joe walks through real examples from his own businesses, including AI-powered services, courses, and lightweight software tools that generate revenue fast. More importantly, he explains why these models work: people want outcomes, not software — and AI lets you deliver those outcomes with tiny teams and massive leverage.

This is a raw, tactical conversation about turning AI into income, rebuilding after setbacks, and designing businesses that scale without adding people.
