Winning Business in the AI Era
The must-know shift in how customers search, decide and buy — and how to position on the right side of it. Build a modern brand that thrives when AI is the new gatekeeper.
2-Day Live Event · Mantra Legends, Gold Coast · August 10-11
Two days on the Gold Coast for founders, marketers and investors who refuse to watch the biggest technology shift since the internet happen to them — and want the playbook to put it to work instead.
No pitch-fest. No theory. Just what's working right now in AI, marketing, e-commerce and investing.

The Shift
The strategies that built your business are quietly being replaced.
The way customers search has changed. The way ads are bought and won has changed. The cost of building software has collapsed to near zero. Whole teams are being replaced by a single operator with the right AI stack — moving faster, spending less, and pulling ahead.
But here's what almost no one is talking about: this isn't just a business story. It's a wealth story.
The same shift that lets you halve your costs and double your output is also opening one of the most important investment trends of our generation. The people who understand both sides — how to build with AI and how to invest in it — are the ones who'll look back on 2026 as the year the ground shifted under their industry.
The New Era Summit is where you learn to play both sides.
Two Days, One New Operating System
A no-fluff, no-pitch implementation event. You won't be inspired and go home unchanged. You'll leave with a clear, practical plan you can put to work the week you get back.
The Curriculum
The must-know shift in how customers search, decide and buy — and how to position on the right side of it. Build a modern brand that thrives when AI is the new gatekeeper.
Turn AI from novelty into infrastructure: content, customer responses, admin and busywork handled, so you and your team run with 10x leverage.
Describe what you want, and build it. Create your own software, internal tools and customer-facing apps — no engineering degree required.
The growth levers that turn a store into a durable business in the AI age — from product and offer to the systems that scale it.
What's changed in targeting, creative and budgeting — and the strategy to drive cost-per-lead down while keeping scale up.
Add serious profit without new ad spend, by tuning the handful of levers that actually move the number.
How successful operators think about building wealth outside the business, and approach investing in the AI age. Skate to where the puck is going.
More world-class speakers being announced soon. Register and you'll be first to see who's confirmed.
