AI consultant's postmortem: website design and podcast production sell best
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-09-26
Stewart Alsop reflects on his AI services business: the traditional advice fails on first contact with reality. His guest-invented "private podcast" service was too abstract to sell until reframed as "business therapy"; teaching non-technical founders to build prototypes with generative AI is his favorite but self-extinguishing line of work; the easiest sells are website design, recruiting, and turnkey podcast production. He argues agents now match the content output of a 500-person company, changing knowledge management consulting's addressable market.
