In this episode, I sit down with Declan OReilly — better known as The GHL Wizard — an AI automation strategist and the king of Go High Level. From quitting his 9-to-5 and wearing robes out of protest… to building self-selling systems and ranking top 3 on the GHL leaderboard, Declan has carved out one of the wildest and most unique personal brands in the automation space.We dive into how he scaled his agency, built his affiliate empire, and created “AI Smart Websites’’ that close deals 24/7 without calls, reps, or manual labor. Declan breaks down exactly why most creators don’t understand business, why in-person marketing is about to make a comeback, and how he’s helping thousands of agency owners plug into systems that actually work.If you're an agency owner, freelancer, or entrepreneur looking to leverage AI, automate fulfillment, and generate unlimited leads — this is a blueprint for the future of service businesses.Timestamps:02:10 Why Declan became the “GHL Wizard”05:20 The switch from ads to Go High Level + affiliate09:00 AI Smart Websites — how they sell for you12:00 Can AI replace humans in sales?16:05 Why trust online is collapsing18:10 The door-to-door & in-person comeback21:00 YouTube as the #1 lead gen machine25:40 Why most creators fail at monetization29:15 Business vs. content — which wins long term?33:20 How Declan scales stuck agencies37:50 Daily habits, stress management, boxing & MMA41:25 The truth about automation people avoid45:00 Lightning round48:00 Where to find the GHL WizardWant to work with me?👉 https://go.eliteceos.com/new-elite-main-vsl-4954?utm_source=ep089

In this episode, I sit down with a business builder who breaks down one of the most misunderstood realities of winning: you cannot live a balanced life and expect uncommon results.

We dig into why obsession — not talent, not IQ, not luck — is the real separator between top performers and everyone else. From chess masters to elite entrepreneurs, the pattern is the same: the ones who win hardest are the ones who care the most.

We also talk about:

- How to know if you're actually passionate about your business — or just forcing it

- Why most people quit before ever getting good

- The dangers of choosing the wrong business model

- The single most underpriced skill in the marketplace today

- What he wishes he understood at 20 (especially about scalability)

- And why the business you pick matters more than the effort you put in

If you're a creator, coach, or entrepreneur trying to pick the right path — this episode will save you years of trial and error.
