Everyone’s chasing the shiny AI apps… but almost nobody is looking at the real money machine behind this boom: the unsexy picks-and-shovels businesses powering the entire AI economy. In this video, I break down the six tiers of AI, from chips to data centers to AI native startups, and show you where the real opportunities are if you’re not a coder, not a VC, and not trying to build the next ChatGPT.
00:00 - Introduction: The AI Startup Bubble
00:19 - Tier 0: Energy Infrastructure
01:19 - Tier 1: Chips & Manufacturing
01:46 - Tier 2: Data Centers & Blue Collar Opportunities
03:21 - Tier 3: Foundation Models & Big Tech
05:26 - Tier 4: AI Orchestration & Tools
05:41 - Tier 5: AI Native Applications
13:16 - Outro: Building the Picks & Shovels

Hi... I'm Codie.
If we haven't met, I build and buy businesses and help you make money. I used to work on Wall Street and in Private Equity for too many years. Then I realized I'd rather YOU AND I own our businesses locally instead. So I built up Main Street Holding Company, Contrarian Thinking Capital & Co. Now, we own and grow dozens of businesses. My mission is to create 100,000 business owners and help 1 million of us build profitable businesses. I hope you’re one.
Here's what I know for sure... those who say it's impossible should get out of the way of those of you who are doing it!! ❤️
