You don't need to be an AI expert to charge $1000/hour for AI consulting — just stay one step ahead

Miles Deutscher shares a takeaway from his conversation with AI consultant Corey Ganim, who charges $1000+/hour: you don't need to be an AI expert to sell AI consulting—you just need to stay one step ahead of the client.
Per Ganim, 99% of business owners aren't using AI properly and are too busy to keep up with a fast-moving field. Figuring out their next AI implementation step with the latest tools is enough to monetize. You're not selling deep expertise; you're selling the willingness to audit their biggest bottleneck and hand them an updated fix.
