Episode notes

If you use BOTH the following link and code COREY, you'll get your first 3 days of Orgo free, then 20% off your first 3 months: I sat down with Phil Goodwin, a completely non-technical designer who sold his last business this past November and, just months later, built a managed AI agent business he now runs under the name Sidecar. Phil walks through his exact stack, how he prices setup fees and monthly per-agent retainers, and the "guinea pig" pitch he used to land his very first paying clients without a following or an email list. We get into real client use cases (a one-man directional drilling company, a short-form video editor), the group-chat trick he uses so clients actually learn to talk to their agent, and a dead-simple weekly value tracker that quantifies exactly why a client should keep paying every month. By the end of this episode, you'll have a working blueprint for pricing, pitching, and delivering a managed agent offer even if you've never written a line of code.
