A shy first-time founder turned a $20 setup into a profitable AI consulting business by leading with value, not sales pressure. In this condensed version of The Koerner Office, Chris Koerner talks with Ryan Schuetter about how he went from a $52,000-a-year clinical research project manager to earning about $15,000 a month helping small businesses implement AI. The original episode has been trimmed into a minutes-long summary so you can get the key ideas fast. Learn why Ryan started with 100 contacts, how 150 Google Meet conversations led to paying clients, and why his DASA framework—Diagnose, Articulate, Systemize, AI implementation—prevents teams from “automating chaos.” He also breaks down practical AI tools like Claude, GoHighLevel, and n8n, plus the importance of networking, positioning, and solving specific business problems. If you’re interested in AI automation, entrepreneurship, small business growth, and productivity, this episode delivers a clear blueprint for introverts who want to build confidence and revenue.
