The Story

Alex Kim was an operations manager at a growing startup who spent months automating repetitive tasks. When he automated 80% of his own job, he realized he'd developed a valuable skill. Instead of feeling threatened, he embraced it - and started YouTube to teach others how to build AI-powered automations that transform businesses. His content focuses on practical AI automation workflows using tools like Make.com, Zapier, ChatGPT API, and Claude. He shows complete automations - from lead capture to invoice processing to customer support - that save businesses hundreds of hours monthly. His 'Automation of the Week' series has become appointment viewing for operations teams. Today, Alex runs an AI automation agency serving mid-market companies while his YouTube channel generates more qualified leads than he can handle. He's turned AI automation from a threat into an opportunity for thousands of viewers.

I automated 80% of my job and thought I'd be fired. Instead, I realized I'd built a skill worth millions. AI automation isn't a threat - it's the biggest opportunity of our generation.
