Hire an employee that never clocks out. One job. Rules you write. On the clock tonight and every night after.
For business owners with a hire they keep putting off. Brad staffs his own company with AI employees instead of people: one runs the ads, one tracks the funnel, one does the outreach, one answers support, one ships the code, one writes him a briefing every morning. He writes the rules, they do the jobs. The call is to see whether he can help you put one on your payroll; if so, we work out the right way to work together. A handful of seats at a time.
The company this comes from
No employees. No contractors. A roster that never clocks out.
Brad runs a marketing company. Every job in it that used to be a hire, the media buyer, the analyst, the SDR, the support desk, the developer, the chief of staff, is an AI employee working under rules he wrote down. Here is what that roster produced in five months.
75 websites, 562 videos, 36 email sequences
In five months, from an empty folder. 29 of the sites give something away, 10 of them sell something, and the sequences run without a person sending them. One person at the top, AI employees doing the work.
Repo, Vimeo and Resend pulls, September 29, 2026.
75 ad campaigns, no media buyer
49 cold tests, each given a fifty-dollar shot to earn its budget, and 23 retargeting campaigns. Cold leads land between two and five dollars each; the best creative ever run came in at 89 cents.
Meta API, Side Projects account, September 29, 2026.
$326,700 since May 1
What the businesses those employees feed took in, on under twenty thousand dollars of ad spend in the same window. Every job in it used to be a hire. None of them were.
Stripe and NMI, May 1 to September 29, 2026.
On the clock tonight
The roster, department by department
Six departments, no humans in any of them. Each seat is a single role with its rules written down, and each one was a hire Brad did not make.
Marketing
The media buyer
Writes the ad, renders the statics, uploads them paused, and reads every campaign every six hours. Flags the bar that moved and fixes the one it is allowed to fix. 75 campaigns so far.
The content desk
Cuts the vertical clips, writes the posts, renders the video version of a sales page in Brad’s voice, and ships the lead magnet site behind it.
The copywriter
Writes the page, the emails and the ads from one belief, then runs the four-question test on every line before it goes live. This page included.
Sales
The SDR
Finds the people, writes to them, works the inbox, follows up on a schedule, and posts to X. Never forgets the third touch.
The application desk
Reads every application, builds the contact record, tags it, writes the notes, and hands the right ones to the closer with a suggested reply.
Operations
Fixes and ships
A support ticket becomes a verified fix, a pull request, a merge, a release and an email to the person who reported it. Nobody waits for a developer.
Spins up offers
Five domains bought, the site live, the redirects verified, the legal pages updated, inside one afternoon. That is how this page exists.
Keeps the fleet up
Sixty-odd business owners run their own copy of the same employee, each on its own server, watched and redeployed without a ticket.
Customer success
The support desk
Reads the inbox every thirty minutes, answers what has a factual answer, closes the loop, and hands the rest up with a suggested reply.
The onboarding desk
Enrolls the new customer, drops them on the right content, and sends the plain-English what-changed note after every update.
Leadership
The chief of staff
On Telegram, day and night. Carries the context from the desk to the phone, writes the decision brief when a question needs more than a line, and logs every shift.
The analyst
Every page view, opt-in, checkout and sale lands in one table with the source attached. One briefing, every morning. No spreadsheet.
Finance
The numbers desk
Pulls Stripe, NMI and the ad accounts, puts revenue against spend for the window, stops a send when it crosses the line it was given, and flags a campaign that does the same.
Pulled from the live systems on October 5, 2026. The first job you hire for comes off this list, or you tell us the one that is missing.
An AI employee costs what subscriptions cost, not what salaries cost. That difference is the margin.
Why it has not worked
It was never you. It was the hire.
You know how a hire goes.
Same story every time:
- A job needs doing
- Post the role, interview for six weeks
- Onboard for six more
- The hire needs a manager
- The manager needs a process doc
- They get good in month six
- They leave in month nine
- Payroll Friday came every week in between
- Post the role again
- You end up doing the job on weekends
You did not build that. You bought it. It is the only model anyone offered.
Strip a business down to the work and it is a list of jobs: the ads, the follow-up, the numbers, the inbox, the fixes, the report. What you were really paying for was a person to sit in each seat, and a person comes with hours, sick days, a ramp, a manager, and a resignation letter. The job never needed any of that. The job needed doing.
In Brad’s company each seat is an AI employee. The rules are written down where the owner can read them: what a test costs, when it dies, when it scales, what a report has to say, what it is allowed to touch and what it has to ask about. That is the whole difference, and it is why the company is small enough to fit in one person’s head and big enough to run every job.
Why now
Either an AI employee takes the next seat, or you keep paying a human price for agent work.
If you keep hiring to grow
The jobs you are posting are now agent work, and the business across town knows it. Their next quote carries a payroll yours cannot match, at a margin you cannot match, and every new customer you land still arrives with a hire attached.
If the next seat never clocks out
The job costs what subscriptions cost. The rules and the kill gates are written down. One person reads a report, the work happens while you sleep, and the margin on the next invoice is yours.
Less headcount. Less burnout. More money in your bank account.
Fit
Who this is for, and who we would waste a call on
This is for you if
- ✓You own a business and there is a job you keep meaning to hire for.
- ✓You are willing to write the rules down and read a report. You, or someone on your team.
- ✓You want the employee in your company, not rented from a vendor.
- ✓You are moving to AI this quarter, not studying it.
This is not for you if
- ✕You want someone else to run your business for you. Brad is not that someone. This is you, running it, with AI employees.
- ✕You want a revenue number or a date it arrives by. Nobody who is telling the truth can give one.
- ✕Nobody on your side will read the report.
What happens on the call
Thirty minutes with the Optimus team. No deck.
We read your application before the call, so the call starts with your business: the job you would hire for next, who does it today, what it costs, and what a win in 90 days looks like to you. We put that job next to the AI employee doing it in Brad’s company and tell you whether this is something we can help you build.
If it is, we work out the right way to work together, and you decide after the call, not on it. If it is not, you leave with a straight answer about why, and where to start instead.
What we will not promise
- A revenue number, a margin number, or a date either arrives by.
- That you can skip the rules. The employee runs the rules; somebody has to write them, and it is you.
- That we take everyone who applies. Seats are limited by bandwidth and by fit.
- That an AI employee replaces judgment. It replaces the seat. The judgment stays with you, written down.
The guarantee
Want a guarantee? You and everyone else. Here’s what we’ll say to that.
Guarantees are bullshit, save death and taxes.
The world is moving too fast for anyone to promise you will hit your goals, and the coaches and mentors who do are the problem.
So we don’t promise outcomes. We set them with you and chase them doggedly, because your success is our success.
This is not a one-size-fits-all program and not a predefined path. We decide what winning looks like together, then build your journey to get there with our support. Open arms, playing full out, no false promises, and we give it our all, together.
Here is what we will stand behind.
If you do what we say, when we say it, you will win faster. You may even blow past your highest expectations. We’ve seen it happen over and over.
If you approach this the way we do, the scientific method, data-driven decisions, fast iterations, you will win, because that is how we make every call and run our own lives and businesses. Clarity and speed are how you win, and we will help you get both.
If you don’t communicate, don’t keep your agreements, don’t hold healthy boundaries, don’t put in the hours, and don’t use your own brain and discernment, you won’t.
It is never up to the coach or the mentor. It is always up to you. We are 100% responsible for our outcomes and you are 100% responsible for yours.
Every time we meet, we identify the one to three highest-leverage things to keep you on track, chipping away at the goals we set together. That’s how we win. You execute, we guide.
And if you’ve played full out for our time together, stayed in the game, and still haven’t saved or earned back your full investment, we extend your membership free until you do. No fine print. No hoops. We only quit when you’ve won, or when you give up on yourself.
When people do this, they win like crazy. See gimmetheproof.com.
When they don’t, they don’t. That’s not on us. We can’t change free will, and you can always make bad choices or quit on yourself if you wish.
We are kind, fair, and allergic to bullshit. If that reads as refreshingly honest and you value it, book a call. If not, hire one of the chuckleheads in your feed. They’re in endless supply and they’ll sell you up the river without thinking twice.
Questions
Before you apply
What is the call, exactly?
A thirty-minute fit conversation with the Optimus team. We read your application first, so the call is about your business and the job you would hire for next, not a pitch. You leave with a yes, a no, or a next step, and nobody asks you to decide on the call.
Which jobs can an AI employee actually do?
The ones running in Brad’s company today: watching and fixing the ad campaigns, tracking the funnel and reporting what moved, finding people and writing to them, answering support and closing the loop, fixing code and shipping it, spinning up new offers and testing them, and writing one briefing every morning. Each one is a single role with rules written down. If your job is on that list, it is a short conversation. If it is not, say so on the application and we will tell you straight.
Who runs the AI employee?
You do, or someone on your team. It is your employee: it lives in your company, under rules you can read, and one person reads its report. That is how Brad runs his own company today. Brad is not becoming your back office; he helps you stop needing one.
What if I am not the tech person?
Good news: you do not have to be. The agents are the tech part. And if your expertise sits somewhere that never required tech, that is an advantage rather than a gap: you have judgment about your customers and your market, and judgment is the piece no agent supplies. The rules are written in plain language, and the person who reads the report does not have to be you.
Do I have to let people go?
No. Nothing on this page asks you to. Most owners start with the hire they have been putting off, and the roster stays where it is while the work gets done. What you do with the headcount after that is your call, with numbers in front of you.
Apply for a call
An AI employee hired for one job, under rules you write, is how you grow without adding payroll.
Brad staffs his own company this way. The call is to see whether he can help you put one on your payroll, and if so, work out the right way to work together. Three ways this goes from here.
- 1Do nothing. Post the role again. Payroll Friday keeps coming.
- 2Build it alone. The tools are public. You can learn agents from scratch and write your own rules.
- 3Apply. Four short steps. We read every one, and you hear back either way.
You could do it alone. You would just be behind.
Option two is real, so take it if that is where you are. But the rules are not something Brad wrote down once. They run his own company, and keeping them running is the job. His whole business is built around learning this and keeping it working, so what you get is the shortcut instead of the search. Alone, you start behind someone who is already ahead and intends to stay there, and every new platform that drops is one more rabbit hole on your time. You do not need to keep up with all of it. You need to keep up with the one seat that moves your business.
How fast this gets real
Most owners cannot say which seat is costing them the most, let alone which one to hand to an AI employee first. That is where the thirty minutes goes: your next hire next to the one doing that job in Brad’s company, and a straight answer about where to start. You decide after the call, not on it.
