He Sold $70K Websites. Then He Killed The Model Himself
from Full Stack Founders · host Mike Bledsoe & Ted Phaeton
He was selling $70,000 websites. Then AI made "a great website" something anyone could produce in an afternoon, and Dima Kozlov had a choice: defend the model or kill it himself. He killed it. This is the whole arc: what he rebuilt the business into, what an afternoon with AI now replaces, why he stopped taking retainers, and the AI sales coach that caught a five figure deal everyone had written off. Full Stack Founders is where operators rebuild their businesses around AI they own instead of renting someone else's. New episodes every Monday.
